Family films used to exactly that - something the whole family could gather around.
The newer ones are pandering trash, tailored for kids and retards, making non-faggot adult viewers want to stick a gun in their mouth.
It's embarrassing that adults list Pixar movies as the top favorites, but they were definitely the only kids movies in the past 15 years to not make the parents want to kill themselves. That is the appeal of Pixar: movies you can watch with your kids that are tolerable for adults (except Cars (and Ratatootie)).
Frozen might be fine for a kids movie, but it should have been mildly irritating to self respecting grown ups.
It's been a while since I've seen older Disney movies, but I don't remember the musical numbers being so incessant. When they did happen, they were some grandiose spectacle which is what most musicals do to distract you from how gay the singing is. Not Frozen! These characters are talking! It was nearly at the self-parody levels of the recent Les Miserables.
I also don't remember cutesy sidekicks being as annoying and pointless as Olaf the snowman. He felt like a wacky robot added in by George Lucas for a special edition. He was the Jar Jar Binks of this movie.
Whatever, kids movie. What I couldn't get over was the insane hype it was getting. Oscars? Were there zero other animated films that year? Were there no adults at the academy to at least nominateThe Congress?
I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all a You're Next kind of deal where a movie is massively overrated all because it has a woman main character who isn't saved by a man. Is THE SUBVERSION what people are going crazy for? Were people this insane for the original Shrek ending? I bet the makers of Mulan are pissed their movie wasn't released during the crest of 4th wave feminism.
