My point is, I don't think anyone should feel obligated to go see a movie featuring something they believe will annoy them, just to find out if it really will annoy them as much as they thought. If someone wants to take a chance on it, that's fine, but if someone decides to pass on a movie because they think one of the animated characters looks unpleasant, and save their limited entertainment funds for something they think they'll have a better chance of enjoying, there's nothing wrong with that -- and OP seems to think it's not only wrong, but "overreacting and being childish." In fact, OP didn't even seem to be saying, "the snowman isn't that annoying," they seemed to be saying, "of course the snowman is annoying; suck it up and watch the movie anyway." Which, wtf?

And these days DVDs/Blu-rays come out in only a few months, so they can wait and hire the movie, or download it for a hell of a lot cheaper than the cost of a cinema ticket.

Good point. If someone gets that curious about it, they can just wait and get it from the library or borrow it from a friend.

I haven't seen the film yet, so I don't know if the snowman is annoying or not.

I meant more that the people who have been screaming that the snowman means the whole movie is the worst piece of shit ever since the first trailer came out are being babies. Not people who just aren't interested in seeing it.

But really, even if the snowman does suck, it doesn't necessarily mean the whole movie does, so I think it's weird of someone to refuse the see the film based solely on the chance that a (presumably minor?) character will annoy them.

It's hard to tell, based solely on the trailers, how significant a role the snowman will have in the movie. But being sufficiently annoyed by one character or aspect of a movie is often more than enough to turn someone off on the whole thing -- we get secrets every day about people disliking or not enjoying media for much more frivolous reasons than that.

And honestly, most of the people I've heard who have been disappointed by the movie trailers and refuse to see Frozen have disliked a lot more about it than just the snowman; for many of them, the snowman himself was just the shitty icing on an already terrible cake. Maybe there are a lot of people out there who just took one look at the snowman and went "Nope!" and I just haven't seen them, but honestly? I think that's as good a reason as any to take your movie-going dollars and use them to see a movie that doesn't contain something you know is going to annoy you before you even walk into the theater.
