Frozen 2: 9 Ways The Sequel Improved On The Original

Not all of these lessons were overt or in-your-face, but they were present and meaningful, surprisingly mature and nuanced in their presentation, even if the film itself doesn't do everything perfectly.

The main theme of the film is change, sung about and seen in the autumnal timeframe and colours, and all the hardships that come with it.

There's a more literal change in Elsa and her role and self-actualisation, but it's more pronounced in Ana's story, where she sings about her hope things stay the way they are at the beginning of the film, and how she needs to deal with change and loss one "right thing" or action at a time - extremely good advice, especially for young people, when dealing with the heavier parts of their life.

Another major message in the story involves historical harm brought by colonial powers on indigenous people, and unlike in other films (see: Pocahontas), it doesn't preach "both sides are wrong" so much as "you have the power to fix what past generations ruined".

And though his role was mostly comedic, even Kristoff's story presented the extremely relevant lesson about being in a trusting, comfortable relationship that doesn't wane despite physical distance.
