Yeah, I think when it all boils down, my real line of thought is something like "You really think Disney would put POC in a "Snow Queen" movie? You're being a bit too hopeful if their willingness to give out representation!".

I like the movie too, but I remain unsurprised by Disney making the whole thing very, very white. I do however suffer from Dull Surprise that people expected it to be anything but very, very white.

I guess I'm more surprised at how viciously people defend it being white as The Only Option. I mean, they could have gone back to Robin Hood type stuff and had them be foxes and Kristoff a reindeer and all talking animals. they could have been robots on a distant planet and Elsa glitched and messed up the climate controls. It could have been set in Japan and referenced Yuki-Onna myths.

Instead, they did what they did. Which is fine, but it's a bit like the recent kerfuffle over the video game company that tried to claim a female playable option would be double the work and take twice as much time and money to animate than a male playable option so they literally couldn't manage it and had to go with a dude instead, and everyone was going "..... whatnow?"

Yeah, one of my other comments in this thread said something the like - they could have transplanted to another place, but they didn't and stuck with a pseudo-Scandinaivian land full of white people. Including Elsa, and the unambiguously white Sami-clothed Kristoff.

Hey has anyone ever considered that Disney looked up Sami and saw piles of people who look unambiguously white and thought that was the unquestioned image of Sami?

Ehh... that video game anecdote does sound really skeevy.
