One woman's trash is another man's treasure...
—Frank Olsen

Frank Olsen is the owner of Olsen Antiques, appearing in the animated series episode The Magic Chest, filling an identical role to Ralph Smigel from the 1995 film.

Appearance[]

Overall, Frank Olsen looks identical to Ralph. When transformed by "JUMANJI" into an Elephant, he still retained his clothes and glasses.

Role[]

In The Magic Chest, Nora Shepherd tells Judy and Peter to start clearing out the attic so she can sell anything valuable to the antique store in town, as Mr. Olsen is coming along to take the items away.

Eventually, Mr. Olsen arrives at the Parrish Mansion to collect the antiques that were left out for him, also finding the namesake magic chest that was left behind by Judy and Peter. Instantly drawn to the shining gold coins inside, Frank takes the chest away with the other antiques back to his store, unaware of the curse that the coins carried.

Later, Frank closes his antiques store to admire the coins he now claimed for himself, until the trio barge in to take the chest back to "JUMANJI", warning him to not touch the coins or he'll turn into something like an Elephant. But Frank refuses to hand them back and tells the trio to go away as he was already closed, and upon ruffling the shining gold coins, he was really becomes cursed into an Elephant. Overcome with primal rage, Frank trumpets loudly and starts snatching the chest back with his trunk, but Peter tricks him into sliding backwards and the trio leave Frank with his head stuck in a chest of drawers.

Once Judy and Peter solve their clue, Frank is turned back into his normal self, like Nora who shows off the generous lot of money that Frank has already paid her for.
