Frozen is amazing. And I'm gonna give one main reason why I loved it (spoiler warning):

Yeah, they played up the whole "the only way to save her is an act of true love" cliche thing, which I was honestly kinda upset about. I mean, it's sweet and everything and this is a Disney movie, but it's been done so many times by Disney kids movies and it really gets old. So when Anna tells Hans that the only way she can be saved is if Hans kissed her, he uses that opportunity to turn around and stab her in the back. That one plot twist was epic and certainly unprecedented by Disney.

But going further off the previously mentioned "true love" cliche, after Hans betrayed her, Anna doesn't have much time left and she realizes that Kristoff has to kiss her. So she goes off to find him but then she sees that Hans is going to kill Elsa, she decides she'd rather risk death than see harm come to her sister. And because it's that act of true love that saves her, I decided this movie is 110% original and perfect. No, Disney didn't play up the "true love's kiss" cliche we've all seen since the days of Snow White. They decide, "hey, true love can be found in families too".

So yeah. Frozen is original in story, characters, plot twists, and climaxes. I'm glad it has been as successful as it has been
