Yes, but you don't know Hans is a villain until 70% of the movie is over.
HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR SOCIETY TO BE LESS ANTI-GIRL?
I honestly think young boys would have gone to see The Snow Queen happily. (4-5 year olds.) But the question is whether or not parents would have taken them or told them, "It's too girly for you"
Seriously, if I could somehow make this topic into my job, I would.
I don't even get why the two guys and Olaf have to be on the poster at all. The movie's about the two sisters.
I don't know why they're so afraid to put a movie out there about women, and where there isn't a romantic aspect to the story.
I didn't see "Brave" yet ... I think there's a scene in it where archers have to compete for her hand in marriage, right? Is there any romance beyond that? (not too many spoilers, please, I'm still hoping to see it someday!)

The arranged marriage is part of the plot, but there is no romance- it's about the mother-daughter relationship rather than princes. Brave is my favorite Disney movie by far, Merida is a great princess. You should see it!
Yeah, but still, the whole thing is a lot about her not wanting to marry. There's not really too much outside that (besides the relationship with her mother.) but it all stems from the marriage-- much like Jasmine, but slightly more rounded out.
I still prefer Frozen.
We must have watched different movies Brave is all about her wanting to change her fate, deciding what she wants for herself, but also learning about responsibility for her actions. She has normal loving parents - that was especially refreshing with no evil stepmother or appalling, abusive parents like those in Frozen. Its animation was much better than Frozen - whose princesses can be interchanged with Rapunzel easily, with a setting that really felt different (granted Pixar's animation is generally superior). I could wish that they didn't make Merida a princess at all, but you can only expect so much of Disney! As for the plot stemming from the marriage, in that setting and presumed time period it's a fairly obvious choice to get other things moving. I feel like it's only a means to an end in developing Merida's personal growth and relationship with her mother (and appreciating that a woman doesn't necessarily need to be masculine to be strong like her mom).
Both Brave and Frozen (I haven't seen Tangled) are good movies and good steps forward for Disney, both have things they could improve.... but I'll never have a Frozen character statue on my shelf because it didn't resonate with me like Brave did. I think Elsa is an interesting character who was underused in Frozen, maybe if there had been more of her and less of Anna deciding she loves various boys I would like it more... I'm glad Elsa at least wasn't paired up with anyone.
On the whole French question, interestingly, the trailer is much more serious in French. The trailer in Spanish (and accompanying title of "A Frozen Adventure") is exactly the same as in English, but the French one is much more menacing. See link below. It makes me wonder if the posters and general marketing are not just aimed at young boy viewers but at adults as well.
