Why is Frozen so popular amongst adults when it is a kid's movie?

Answer 1

It may be aimed at kids, but it has plenty to offer adults, too. Sometimes we adults get tired of 'important, adult' subjects, and want a little fun. It is nice to have a happy ending to a movie sometimes.

There are also plenty of resonant, real-life overtones, which adults understand perhaps better than kids, like trying to fit in when you're not exactly like everyone else. You don't just toss that aside when you 'grow up' - it affects some people all their lives, and we all revisit that sort of thing from time to time in life, even if we've got it mostly in-hand.

Adults and kids aren't so different, really, just because something is a 'cartoon' doesn't mean it should be dismissed as an enjoyable movie by all adults. The songs are wonderful, there is plenty of action and humor, and let's face it, any sort of entertainment is supposed to take us 'out of ourselves' and leave us entertained. Frozen does that admirably, for adults and children alike.
