"Disney never realized the biggest key to Frozen’s success: two female leads"

[kane_magus]

Not too sure about the main premise of this article, but I will say this much: if Disney ever made a movie/show/game/whatever in which all the Disney Princesses™ (and throw in Elsa and Anna and all the others who aren't officially Disney Princesses™ as well, just for good measure) were to team up to, say, fight all of their respective villains who had also teamed up... or even just teamed up to, like, do mundane slice-of-life stuff, that's something that I, a 40-something dude with no kids, would be willing to watch, let alone the little girls who are their primary target audience. It could potentially be the next MLP:FiM, at least if Disney treated such a thing with the respect it deserved. It could be like Kingdom Hearts, only without all the Squeenix baggage and convoluted plotlines and time-travel antics and such.

(And all the "anti-woke" broseph asshole types who'd just trash such a thing as "pandering" or "virtue signalling" or whatever can go sit firmly on a saguaro.)

That's actually not that far off from the plot of the Descendants franchise, except instead of the Disney princesses and villains it's their kids mostly just trying to live a normal life while dealing with their parents baggage. The cast is all new though, with the actual heroes and villains we [love|hate] mostly relegated to being name drops or middle-aged cameos.
