History YMMV / Frozen

* InternetBackdraft: The film has received heavy backlash due to people judging its quality and its meta prior to the movie being released. This was driven by judgments of previews, interpretations of creator quotes, preferences towards hand-drawn animation, and complaints over gender and race. Suffice to say, in the Fall 2013 period, things on the internet kept getting increasingly heated, and RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment now applies.
** Those who prefer the hand-drawn style of Disney animation (and had their hopes raised by ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' and ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'') were upset when it was announced that the film, initially announced as their next effort in that vein, would be CGI-animated instead. This was partly in thanks to the success of their newer CGI films like ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' and ''Disney/WreckItRalph'', which were positive received even though they weren't hand-drawn, and partly because they wanted to branch further into a different genre of animation than their usual style. Many people expressed disdain towards the film for being CGI and not hand-drawn as they had hoped by leaving complaints like "I miss the old Disney!" and "Go back to hand-drawn animation!" in the comments of the trailers.

* TheScrappy: People thought Olaf would be annoying by judging him by [[TaintedByThePreview what they saw of him in the previews]]. Reviews and other comments on early screenings say that Olaf has great comic timing in the movie itself, and that his presence in general doesn't make or break the movie, so he may even end up [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap subverting]] the trope.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: ''The movie itself'' does this. Many of the critics highlighted Olaf as one of the best characters.

* OneSceneWonder:[[spoiler: Oaken.]]

* BrokenBase: Although it ''hasn't even been released'' yet, the film has accumulated mixed reactions--either people have admired what's been seen of it and are looking forward to it, or have been giving it flak because it's not using hand-drawn animation as they had hoped, not a more direct adaptation of "Literature/TheSnowQueen", is another Caucasian European princess, is another Disney film starring princesses, and/or assume it's going to be a rehash of ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' just because they have similar art styles.

* IncestShipping: Given the nature of the story it's not really that surprising.

* "For The First Time in Forever"

* AwesomeMusic: "Let It Go"

* HellIsThatNoise: That horrible slicing sound that happens every time Joe [[spoiler:moves his hands across the suspension cable]], the sound when [[spoiler:Parker is pulling her hand from the safety bar]], and the sound [[spoiler:Dan's legs]] make when he's trying to grab the makeshift tourniquets.

** Certain groups of people have complained that, while acknowledging that Disney has made strides in including people of color in their films in the past few decades, such as Aladdin, Mulan, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear and The Princess and the Frog, they have observed that [[http://thiscouldhavebeenfrozen.tumblr.com/post/64837586902/ursulatheseabitchh-so-i-made-this-thing Disney has featured a larger proportion of films with a Caucasian human cast than films with people of other races]]. This film finally crossed the line for them and has been accused of whitewashing for once again using an all Caucasian human cast, causing them to start a "[[http://thiscouldhavebeenfrozen.tumblr.com/ This Could Have Been Frozen]]" project on Tumblr, with people writing their own versions of the story and recasting Anna and friends as non-white northern native people."

** People have accused the film of whitewashing for using an all-Caucasian human cast. People have complained that many of Disney's films have featured predominantly Caucasian characters, even while Disney has made strides in including people of color in their films in the past couple of decades, such as Aladdin, Mulan, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear, and more recently, The Princess and the Frog. These people started a "[[http://thiscouldhavebeenfrozen.tumblr.com/ This Could Have Been Frozen]]" project, with people submitting their own versions of the story and recasting Anna and friends as non-white northern native people."

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Due to both having similar art styles and the trailers giving an emphasis on comedy, many assumed that the film would just be a rehash of ''Tangled'', despite no one having seen the film at that point.

* BrokenBase: Although it ''hasn't even been released'' yet, the film has accumulated mixed reactions--either people have admired what's been seen of it and are looking forward to it, or have been giving it flak because it's not using hand-drawn animation as they had hoped, not a more direct adaptation of "Literature/TheSnowQueen", is another Caucasian European princess , is another Disney film starring princesses, and/or assume it's going to be a rehash of ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' just because they have similar art styles.

** People have also accused the film of being racist for having an all-Caucasian human cast instead of using a larger variety of race, believing Disney has not including enough variety of race in their movies as much as they would like (Disregarding that Disney ''had'' included a variety of other races in some of their past films like ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'', ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', ''Disney/BrotherBear'', and more recently, ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', which even adapted most of the characters as African-American, which wasn't even indicated in the original story). These people started a "This Could Have Been Frozen" project, with people submitting their own versions of the story and [[RaceLift recasting]] Anna and friends as non-white northern native people.

** Adding original male characters, such as Kristoff joining Anna on her quest, may have been an effort to make the film appeal to boys as well as girls, similar to the approach used in ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider receiving the relatively same amount of attention. Unfortunately, this gave people the impression that their inclusion was done to make Anna seem more dependent due to her counterpart in the original story, Gerta, taking her journey largely alone. In a related case, even though each of them have individual characterizations and strengths, some people have backlashed against this movie for continuing the Disney tradition of casting the female leads as princesses, believing that the DisneyPrincess franchise was sending the message of "Girls should only strive to be princesses" (which is pretty unrealistic, given how most girls grow out of that phase and there are so few princesses in power today) and not "These princesses have individual strengths and characteristics that girls should admire and follow".

** Those who prefer the hand-drawn style of Disney animation (and had their hopes raised by ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' and ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'') were upset when it was announced that the film, initially announced as their next effort in that vein, would be CGI-animated instead. This was partly in thanks to the success of their newer films like ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' and ''Disney/WreckItRalph'', which were positive received even though they were CGI, and partly because they wanted to branch further into a different genre of animation than their usual style. Many people expressed disdain towards the film for being CGI and not hand-drawn as they had hoped by leaving complaints like "I miss the old Disney!" and "Go back to hand-drawn animation!" in the comments of the trailers.
