I think it's not so much that Elsa and Anna are both girls is the "point" of the film, but that it is important to the film that they're both girls. So I kind of get where the OP is coming from.

Like for example, the fact Hiccup is an amputee is not the 'point' of HTTYD, but it is an important part of his character and if you said "I only find him interesting in fic/fanart when he has both legs" It would feel a little... odd?

To me it would be a different story if it was two brothers. Especially as platonic male friendship and brotherhood is a common theme in movies. I mean, I can't really think of a gender flipped alternative to LOTR or The Hobbit or Avengers.

Maybe that's why gender swapped works for you? Two guys learning the power of friendship with a sexually treacherous female villain and girl who's along mainly as potential love interest is more familiar and what a movie 'should' be?

Describing Hans as "sexually treacherous" really gives him waaaaaay more credit than he deserves

I was thinking like Megara, and Ursula (after she stole Ariel's voice) The "Maybe we haven't thrown the right curves his way" plot.
