It's okay don't feel bad. A lot of people seemed to forget that point in the movie, which actually makes me kinda sad since I liked the idea of the cursed princess breaking her own curse for once. :(

I think I was comparing it to Beauty and the Beast, when Belle runs in after the Beast is 'dead' and cries and says "I love you." and that's what breaks it. I thought Elsa hugging her and crying was that. I got that Anna's thing was an act of true love but I thought that it needed to be completed by both of them to really work.

It's still sisterly love in any case.

For Beauty and the Beast the theme was different in that it is "who could ever love a beast?" so it was about someone else learning to love him so the act of love had to be committed by the other person. But in Frozen I thought the mechanics of the curse worked differently and took it to mean that if your heart is the one that is frozen, you are the one who needs to thaw it. For Elsa, she had to realize that love from other people was what she needed to help her, to let people in. For Anna, she had to "put someone else's needs before her own" so her sacrifice was the act of selflessness, in a call-back to Elsa telling Anna "what do you know about true love?" and Anna's decision in the finale to sacrifice herself was the answer to show the audience that she loved Elsa above all others and thus was willing to die for her and that's why I took it to mean that she was the one who had to commit the act of true love, to show that she was putting someone else's needs before hers.

So for me it feels like two similar situations, but different solutions. Plus, one of the Frozen storybooks specifically point out Anna's sacrifice as being the act of true love. I forgot to mention that oops.

yeah I got that after I watched again, that was just the comparison I made when I saw it in the theater

I think the fact that it's mutual was central here - they are affectionate toward each other in their own bloody sad way throughout the movie, but they are more "in sync" at the end.

Also, I feel that Kristoff is strongly implied to not be her love yet at that point, wasn't the whole point of their relationship that they're taking it a bit more slowly and getting to know each other?
