** When [http://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/definitive-proof-that-academy-voters-are-ignorant-about-animation-96680.html interviews came out] about how Oscar academy voters voted for 2014's nominees, it was felt to put a damper on the movie's wins because very few of them cared about animation at all.
* [[No Yay]]: Other than the fact that it's, well, [[Squick|incest]], many who dislike the Anna/Elsa pairing feel that shipping the two ruins the message of the film, that platonic/familial love is as strong and wonderful as romantic love. Shipping the two ignores that, looping back around to "romantic love is the only love that matters"; fanfics that try to bypass this by making Anna and Elsa unrelated makes it worse by turning it into a standard A-meets-B-and-instant-love, exactly the opposite of the movie's message (Although there is something to be said about the film's message having ''already'' been ruined via a [[Broken Aesop]]; see [[Relationship Writing Fumble]] below).
* [[Relationship Writing Fumble]]: The message of the film is that romantic love isn't the only type of love, and Elsa and Anna's relationship is used to represent familial love being just as strong and important. However, this falls flat since Elsa and Anna [[Incest Subtext|act more like jilted lovers around each other than actual ''sisters'']]. The coronation scene where Anna becomes flustered and starts tripping over her words when Elsa calls her "beautiful", not to mention her reaction to Elsa's new appearance when they reunite, are both loaded with subtext, Elsa hiding her powers can easily be read as an [[Does This Remind You of Anything|allegorical coming-out story]], she has serious [[Power Incontinence]] for the first time after Anna announces her engagement (when it's established that this happens because of pain and fear), [[Shipper on Deck|the trolls]] that try to get Anna and Kristoff together singing about how love is used to heal and help others actually makes much more sense in reference to Elsa, and Anna's "I love you" at the end comes across seeming more romantic than any interaction she has with Hans ''or'' Kristoff due to them not getting as much screentime with her. Hell, there's even [http://yamino.tumblr.com/post/69413868245/ some very awkward merchandise] that almost seems to portray them as a couple. Also, it's really common for Disney movies to end with the princess kissing or embracing her lover; ''Frozen'' ends with Anna {{spoiler|kissing Kristoff, but then going ice skate holding hands with Elsa, [[Intertwined Fingers]] and everything}}. This has led to [[Incest Yay Shipping]] for some, and [[No Yay]] or [[Squick]] for those averse to these kinds of pairings.
