Maybe three really fantastic songs but once you get past that, I think this film is pretty damn overrated.

I guess there's a half decent feminist message in there somewhere but again, I think that is over stated by its fans a tad.

I think the feminist message (a big step for Disney) was that Elsa saved Anna with her true love, rather than a man. A villain in the original story, I did like that they made Elsa sympathetic.

Peeves: I didn't care for Olaf and the villains were a little over the top for me.

What I didn't like about the Hans being a bad guy was that it kinda ruined the song "Love is an open door." These two sing it (a song about being open to love, I guess??) then later of course, it turns out that Hans is a dick. So what were they saying here? Love shouldn't be an open door? Love should be a closed door that you occasional peek through?
