Honestly, that's objectively not true. The story IS focused on the sisters' relationship. That's the entire premise of the show. We see that Elsa is literally the way she is because she accidentally hurt Anna with her powers, and now is afraid she'll do it again. She was pressured, both by herself and by her parents, to keep everything hidden away, and the only way to do that was to shut herself out. How is that not also about the sacrifices an older sister makes for a younger sister?

In the story, Anna has to have faith that Elsa loves her, and have faith in Elsa herself. Which is why Anna puts herself in danger just to prove it, and that her sister isn't a monster. It certainly would have been easier for Anna to just stay in the castle and called herself the new queen or something, but she chooses to have faith in her sister instead.

Just because there is a romance subplot doesn't mean the sister main plot is somehow sidetracked. Anna is exploring what love means. The entire climax of the movie is that familial love can be True Love, too.

I really don't see your point about how actual subplots in Lilo and Stitch, etc., are somehow more progressive or something.

My point is all of that is inferred rather than actually included in the plot. The structure of the sisterly-love plot, despite being the focus, is objectively weak from a storytelling perspective. There were several ways it could have been focused better to actually show mutual understanding being achieved, which didn't happen.

Again, whether they loved each other was never in question. Whether they understood each other was the main conflict (see: their argument in the castle) but wasn't resolved, just brushed under the love thing, which, again, we already knew. There was no growth, just more proof that we already had from their character introductions.

I wasn't saying those two were more "progressive", just referring to those (since they were in the secret) as sibling relationships with a clear plot/goal, even as a subplot.
