"Frozen" never set out to subvert anything. "Frozen" never subverted anything.

"Frozen" never set out to be a fairy tale. "Frozen" set out to be a GOOD STORY, and then let the genre fall where it may. "Frozen" is, as I said, made from the same cloth as "Rise of the Guardians" and "How to Train Your Dragon": make a good story with compelling characters and a well-writen plot, and the rest will follow. "Frozen" is a movie Walt himself would be proud of, as "Frozen" is the first movie in a LONG time that is made just like Walt used to make them.

If Walt had this whole "let's make a fairy tale!" mindset when making his movies, he wouldn't have become the animation legend he is today. Movies like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Sleeping Beauty", "Alice in Wonderland" and "Peter Pan" were good stories first and foremost, wether they happened to be fairy tales or not was secondary.

And that's the kind of vision employed when making "Frozen".

Remember, Walt's philosophy was "you are dead if you aim only for kids." And to me, the "let's make a fairy tale!" mindset means aiming only for kids.
