Somebodybends: give the animators more credit than that: they do this for a living and are among the best in the business; they convey emotion through the characters' artwork, the voice actor's performance and the director's wishes.

What is the difference between the meeting of Anna and Hans and the meeting of Phillip and Aurora?

Are you serious?

1) Phillip was in the forest minding his own business when he comes across The Woman of His Dreams®, though she basically runs away, her conversation with her godmothers makes it clear that she has fallen in love with him. Likewise, Philip tells his father of this peasant girl he met and it is clear that he has fallen for her.

2) Hans went to Arendelle with the express purpose of meeting Elsa and seducing her into marriage before assassinating her; by his own admittance he realized that Elsa might be too unapproachable, but when presented with Anna's desperate need for attention, he modified his plan and went after Anna instead; saying what she wanted to hear in order to seduce her into marrying him... specifically so that after he killed Elsa, Anna ascend the throne! EVERYTHING he does is fully consistent with his pursuit of this plan; chances to turn away from the plan are ignored.

Could he have fallen in love with Anna? There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that he did; if he had, he might have shown some compassion before locking her up in a cold room to freeze to death... with the knowledge that he had betrayed her trust and was going to kill her sister.

But he didn't show compassion, did he? he locked her away to die alone.

That is NOT an act of love. Not in any way, manner or form.

On the other hand... did you see what Phillip went through to save his One True Love®? Now THAT is an act of love.
