Yep. I definitely think that Disney needs to take a hard look at what they’re doing and what’s working, and what works in the short term but doesn’t hold up. (For example, of recent Disney Princess movies, I feel that only Brave doesn’t have glaring problems in hind-sight.) I’m really curious to see what I think about the upcoming Disney movie set in Polynesia.

Curb-stomp is just a good phrase.

I was actually just thinking more about this, and about how literally all of Arandelle's local allies - and even rivals - that sent people to the coronation would have gotten a front row seat to the power of its queen, which kind of has fascinating political ramifications.

Yes, ESPECIALLY because the way that Frozen plays out, rivals and allies have a good look at the power of the queen as well as the potential instabilities of her rule. Like, if I was working against that country, (if this wasn’t a Disney movie, people would have died) I’d think about working against the queen by stressing the fact that she killed/could have killed/damaged a lot of people's livelihoods/etc. There is a potential wedge there.
