The best explanation I can come up with for what the film was trying to be was a sort of Into the Woods, what-happens-after-happily-ever-after, everyone's-stuck-in-magical-forest-singing-songs-about-being-torn-between-the-urges-towards-adventure-and-domesticity.

Which could have been bold and interesting if they'd actually committed to it. But it's Disney. So instead you get a pasted-on story nominally about colonialism and generational guilt, except not really because no one we even sort-of know can be allowed to look like a villain.

Which I find baffling, because surely one of the loudest responses Disney received to Frozen (besides "give Elsa a girlfriend") was "why are you treating the parents so positively when they were clearly abusive?" So why not lean into that.

(By the way, clearly part of the reason they conceal the mom's role is that if you reveal early on that she also had elemental powers, then the audience has more time to realize that how monstrous her complicity in forcing Elsa to conceal hers was.)
