Which one, I can't recall one named Frozen? H.C. Andersen was my bedtime stories when I grew up (amusingly The Little Mermaid was my favourite, and I hated the film)

HOW CAN YOU WHITEWASH SCANDINAVIANS? We are white, like seriously white especially if you go back in history (our slaves were also white when we had slaves) of course today we do have POC in Scandinavia, but I am pretty sure we didn't have that many when H.C Andersen wrote his stories, which when he wrote them down already had been told for quite some time

It's The Snow Queen. The similarities in storyline seem to be basically nonexistent, though.

Huh, ah well they already killed The Little Mermaid story and no one is complaining about that or are they? I stay away from Disney fandom, they scare me so how much worse can it be?

That's basically the question when any rational person reads posts from tumblr about it, and that's the point OP was trying to make. People on tumblr are trying to find something wrong with the movie by saying they're "appropriating Saami culture and making it about white people" or "all the characters are white they're whitewashing".

Hm, why can't they just use a real argument like: Sami culture though white is still a minority and they deserve their history to be treated with respect? But if it is based on a H.C Andersen story I don't see where it comes into play? I know absolutely nothing about the film so it isn't like I can have an opinion on that...
