For such a successful and expensive film, Frozen's complete lack of diversity (particularly ethnic diversity) really vexed me. 《冰雪奇缘》 has four main human characters and out of the four:
- Four are white
- Four are all apparently straight
- Three are blonde
Looking at this, 你 can tell there is very little variation in Frozen's main cast. In ethnic terms, there really is no excuse of this. 《冰雪奇缘》 needed 更多 POC.
I have heard one main argument (read: excuse) why 《冰雪奇缘》 didn't have any racially diverse characters (and no: I am not counting black background characters). Some say that 《冰雪奇缘》 was set in a medieval Scandinavian country, so obviously, everybody there could only have been white, blond-haired and blue-eyed.
This is complete nonsense because firstly - not everybody there looked the same and (believe it 或者 not) other hair colours and races DID exist in Europe. Also, along with other POC who lived in Scandinavia, there were also Saami people and others like them who lived in Scandinavia for centuries. It is my personal view that Kristoff definitely should have been Saami as his role is similar to that of traditional Inuits in the film.
Secondly, Arendelle is only based on a medieval Scandinavia. In reality, it is a fictional. Elsa has a ice powers for god sake! How is THAT 更多 plausible than a POC being royalty 或者 a main character in Frozen?
I hope 你 can see that 迪士尼 really has no excuse for the lack of POC among it's main cast. In the future, hopefully we will have 更多 racially diverse characters that are in the future in EVERY FILM (not just something like Moana).
Thanks for reading.

This time my 文章 will be about the pets of 迪士尼 princesses. I find them all sweet. Do not forget to mention your 最喜爱的 pet in the comments.
1- Elsa (Bruni)
Elsa had become good 老友记 with Bruni, the 火, 消防 spirit. Bruni is a lizard, so he's considered a pet.
2- Rapunzel (Pascal and Maximus)
Rapunzel's best friend and pet is the sweet Pascal, whose chameleon. Pascal is really smart. Pascal is my 最喜爱的 pet. Maximus isn't really Rapunzel's horse, but he's with her throughout the adventure, so it's sort of like a pet.
3- 茉莉, 茉莉花 (Rajah)
Jasmine's pet was Rajah, a huge tiger. She was very good 老友记 with him.
4- Merida (Angus)
Merida had a loyal and furry horse named Angus. Angus was completely black, with only a few whites on his nose.
5- Cinderella( mice)
灰姑娘 got along with mice and could talk to them. She even sewed clothes for mice.
6- Pocahontas( Meeko and Flit)
That bird and the fluffy friend were her friends
