There were no "big-lipped alligator moments" to use TV Tropes terminology.

But well, that's just my opinion.

My biggest problem with the movie was the character of Kristoff. Frozen was basically a critique of its own genre, pointing out its inherent flaws and where it may feel outdated in modern times, I dug that. But Kristoff's role in the archetypal princess tale was basically what Disney appeared to be saying was everything wrong with the genre, so Kristoff basically existed to be the films punching bag as the movie exploded into unnecessary action set pieces where the movie seemed to be missing the irony. Then the fact that Kristoff and Anna get together anyway right at the end also undermines perhaps the most poignant moment of the entire flick.

I get that that is just my reading of the film, and you can think I'm over thinking it or whatever, but my personal reading clouded my personal enjoyment of an otherwise stellar flick.
