{{tropelist}}
* [[
* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Let It Go", which ended up winning the 2014 Academy Award for Best Song. Its potential was understood from moment it was first played for the production team, who rewrote the entire movie into a completely original story because it was entirely too positive and life-affirming to be a [[Villain Song]] and they didn't want to lose it.
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: The [[Moral Guardians]] who accused the film -- apparently without watching it, as usual -- of promoting a gay agenda because of the ''sisterly'' love between Elsa and Anna.
* [[Development Hell]]: Oh my Lord. This film is over 15 years in the making! Disney planned to produce this in the 90's as a hand-drawn feature, but they scrapped it during their change in management and their shift to CG features starting with ''[[Chicken Little]]'' and only just recently picked it up again.
* [[Fairy Tale]]
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: While ''The Snow Queen'' is built around playing this trope straight, this story is a definite subversion.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Elsa, of course, as the Snow Queen of this tale.
* [[Meet Cute]]: Princess Anna meeting Prince Hans as she trips past his into a rowboat.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Take it easy on the [[Cat's Cradle|Ice-9]] there, Elsa. This trope is the prime mover for the whole plot.
* [[Subverted Trope]]: This movie is ''filled'' with subversions of the "expected" features of Disney films, which is probably one reason why the [[Moral Guardians]] who seem to think that Disney is ''theirs'' freaked out over it.
* [[True Love's Kiss]]: Invoked and averted six ways to Sunday. Everyone assumes that the reverse her curse, Anna will need a kiss from her [[Meet Cute]] Prince Hans. {{spoiler| Not only does her prince not care for her, but he locks her in a cold room to freeze to death. And then the audience is supposed to assume it's that other nice boy Kristoff. But she never kisses him. Her "act of true love" comes from inside her own heart, as she make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save her sister.}} Take that, patriarchy!
* [[Villain Song]]: Averted by "Let It Go", which makes it very clear the apparent villain is just as much a victim as anyone else.
* [[Winter Royal Lady]]
