Well, her being a woman isn't the point of the film so I don't think you're really missing the point of Frozen. I think one of the only Disney films where genderswapping the main character would be flat out missing the point is if you only like genderswapped Mulan.

I think gender-swapping Mulan would actually be okay too if it was a genderswap AU -- where you genderswapped ALL the characters and made it into a matriarchy in a parallel universe.

Sounds like a fun fanfiction. Also sounds like a cool story if it was unrelated to the Disney movie.

Not necessarily the point, exactly, since the point is "sibling love", but the fact that they are sisters is especially noteworthy, given that sister relationships almost never get the spotlight in any form of media. Parent-child in any form, brother-brother...sure. But really, very rarely sister-sister.

Still, I certainly think you'd be missing the point of _Anna_ if you tried to make her a guy. A lot of her character is based on presumptions and gender roles--i.e. waiting for a man, thinking romance is the ultimate form of love, etc.

But...thinking on that, some of that certainly applies to Elsa. Be a perfect, well-behaved lady who is demure and soft-spoken, and the whole point of Let It Go (and, IMO, the reason it resonated so strongly) is about throwing away those kinds of expectations.

I don't completely agree. Those expectations -- for both siblings -- tend to be more overpowering for women than men, but that doesn't mean men don't feel suffocated by family and societal expectations or overinvest in the expectation of True Love.
