Frozen was popular a once a while ago. Some people think that is a great, revolutionary Disney product that present and strengthen feminist, but I do not think so after I watched it.
Personally, I think frozen is just a product that appears to be a feminist product. In reality, it is not. Maybe some people regard Disney products as a summary of the feminist revolution and it happens to be a proper assumption. I can understand their point. However, those most popular Disney product were based on Grimm's Fairy Tales and Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. Such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty. In those animations, female all need to be beautiful, simple, and dependable. Someone will finally save those heroines from dangerous or tragedy endings.
Those store lines are all the same. In general, I think all the Disney animations are all the same--the theme is positive and inspiring; the beginning is interesting and funny enough to attract audiences attention and makes audiences (especially children) get involved; the turning point makes the heroines into trouble or dangerous; in the end, the good people (generally speaking, the prince) always defeat the bad people and turn out to be a happy ending. Nothing exceptional, all in the same pattern.
In the Frozen, the prince turned out to be a bad guy and the princess and her sister was joined together to defeat the bad prince. It is just a new pattern that Disney use since most audience has already get tired of the old-pattern story lines.
Therefore, Frozen is not the one that mean to highlight the feminist; it is just happened to be a new pattern that somehow fit to the feminist from some people's perspective.
