Frozen: 8 Reasons Why Prince Hans Is Actually Disney's Lamest Ever Villain

2. The Final Fight Is Too Brief

When all is said and done, the majority of stories end with one last battle between good and evil.

Despite their standard G-rating, some of film's best final fights can be found in Disney cartoons. Consider Simba and Scar tangling atop Pride Rock, Jafar morphing himself into a giant Cobra, Gaston hunting Beast, or a behemoth-sized Ursula trying to drown Prince Eric. The granddaddy of them all, though, has to be in Sleeping Beauty, where Prince Philip throws down against Maleficent to reach his beloved; not content to just attack him with giant thorns and thunderbolts, Maleficent summons "all the powers of Hell" and transforms into a huge dragon, trying to overwhelm Philip with snapping jaws and dark fire. Even when she has been stabbed through the heart she keeps coming, desperate to devour him and collapsing a cliff in the process. It is a thrilling scene, and despite being over fifty years old has lost none of its power, as can be evidenced in the way that it was paid homage in the recent Disney film Enchanted. The final fight in Frozen is notable not for its power, but rather for its brevity. Hans swings his sword at Elsa once and then the whole thing is over. Earlier action scenes in the film (example: Elsa versus the Duke of Weselton's men, or Sven, Anna and Olaf running away from Elsa's snow monster) are energetic and visually interesting, but the final fight is a non-event. This is especially jarring as the film seemed to have Hans and Sven on a course to battle each other at some point (with Hans being Anna's false love and Sven being her true), yet this never eventuates.
