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.
