And I've said before, you need Kristoff there to contrast his relationship with Anna with that of Anna's and Elsa's. The movie needs variety, and while Anna and Elsa are strong, it would be a rather empty world with just them.

And by that logic, why not cut out Hans, Olaf and Sven too? Oaken maybe? The Duke?

Kids movies tend to overcrowd their supporting cast, so for a kids movie to have few too would make a nice change.

I get your reading, but I don't think there were enough scenes between Kristoff and Anna, and enough to Kristoff himself, to make the concept work.

Because Hans, despite being a walking cliché, was fantastically handled and one of the strongest characters in the entire flick. Olaf and Sven get a free pass for being some of the only comedy sidekicks to actually be genuinely amusing.

Oaken and The Duke weren't really supporting characters, and although they added little to nothing to the movie, their scenes were short, self contained and strong.

Funny you should mention Hans, my sister thought that you could remove his character and it wouldn't do anything to the movie, and while I don't fully agree with her, I can see her point.

Since I just saw it I want to throw in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as one of my favorite movies of this year.

Seems people have been saying good things about it. It was just released here so it's time to plan another trip to the cinema.

I actually agree as well, but I think it would still be to the movies detriment as he was the best written and acted character.

Haha, well, we'll have our opinions, I guess. We're not going to convince each other.

I think you are missing the point of Kristoph in Frozen Locke. He was not pointless, he was there to throw you off of what you were expecting to happen, especially after the unexpected plot twist with prince charming.
