In General:
- Cash-Cow Franchise: The first film made tons of money off The Merch in less than a year, and the franchise has remained one of the biggest assets for Disney ever since.
- Dueling Works: Starting in 2016, Dreamworks Animation's Trolls, another movie musical series set in a fantasy world aimed at girls, was competing with Frozen in merchandise sales (it actually grossed more than Frozen the same year), and also competed with the franchise in terms of holiday specials released the same weekend and sequels, which were released during a three-month period.
- Fountain of Expies: Elsa has made the Snow Queen now a popular character to use... though many examples are just Elsa but called the Snow Queen.
- Shrug of God: When asked by fans about Queen Elsa's sexual orientation, the two films' writer and co-director Jennifer Lee said that it was best left unsaid.
