Article by Polygon: It explains why Disney's "Frozen" caught lightning in a bottle with its two female leads. The article goes on to compare this constellation with other Disney movies and how Disney's executives still don't seem to have understood why centering on relationships between women may be a formula for success.

It's a stupid movie with snow, a cool colour tone, zero politics, catchy songs. Kids like it because it's a Disney movie the way it is supposed to be. Adults like it enough because it has some likable moments. The women crap has nothing to do with it. It just happens to have a woman and a snowman and a moose thing. Maybe that's the magic combination.

Most of Disney's recent, last 15yrs, releases have just sucked. The popularity of most is based 100% on the songs. Moana is a woman but also a huge Polynesian dude and a chicken. Just a catchy floofy movie. Kids love it. Adults like it.

zero politics

If you don't count the antagonist of the film taking advantage of Anna's loneliness to get engaged to her, and then plotting to kill Elsa and take control of Arendelle.

Agree with you otherwise.
