2. Much of the popularity of Frozen is due to appeal of Elsa -- far and away the most popular character in movie.

3. Elsa's prominence in movie is something that wasn't planned. It was originally much more focused on her sister Anna.

4. Frozen was apparently reconceived during production/editing due to power of Inina Menzel's "Let It Go" and test audience response to Elsa

5. Frozen has to be seen as part of Disney's long tradition of Princess movies, a lineage it both builds on and subverts.

6. In Disney Princess movie you have familiar duality of insipid Princess & vivid evil old woman (often with magic power).
