You need the movie to explicitly say "And they lived happily ever after without staying together?" because anything could happen after the credits roll. IIRC, Brave ends with Merida not being involved with anyone (boy did that throw my parents for a loop) but that doesn't mean she never marries. Frozen ends with Anna and Kristoff interested in each other, but that doesn't mean it lasts.

We don't know if relationships pan out in the long run unless we're shown the long run. We just assume a certain type of "happily ever after" is implied, but no all the movies actually say that's how it goes.

It's pretty clear it's meant to be a "happily ever after" thing. Disney failed by making Anna and Kristoff romantic. It was unnecessary and only there because Disney NEEDS to include romance, and they're not brave enough to completely remove themselves from their generic formula. Brave was okay but had its own problems.

If Disney actually gave a crap about what it was trying to do with Frozen, Kristoff and Hans wouldn't have existed in the first place. They were only there so they could go, "SEE??? SEE??? WE'RE DOING AN ABNORMAL THING AREN'T WE SO GREAT. LOOK AT THIS ~MESSAGE~". There was no real effort behind it. You can defend this decision all you want, but it still greatly undermined what they were trying to do with the movie, especially when Anna and Elsa have significantly less speaking roles than the unnecessary surplus of male characters despite being a movie about sisterly love. Kristoff easily could've been replaced with the thief girl from the original fairytale. But nah. There had to be a marketable romance somewhere.
