  1. Sorry but your argument for why 2 isn't going to be remembered as well as 1 is not very intelligent. I'm not going to take sides on which is better than the other because I'm a fan of the franchise as a whole, but just because the songs in the second film couldn't replicate the lightning-in-a-bottle phenomenon that was one song in the first film doesn't mean it's going to be remembered less. That would be like saying a jazz musician is worse than Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber or whatever pop singer because his latest album didn't top the music charts the way theirs did. The characters in the second film have aged up with their audience. Robert and Kristen Andersen Lopez made the conscious decision to make the songs more complex and convey more emotion than their counterparts in the first film. The trade-off was that it became less catchy. The marketing also did not emphasize much of the soundtrack besides a single song. As a result it did not equate to chart-topping success. That doesn't mean the audiences disliked it. The songs in the first film are great for what they are and convey great messages, don't get me wrong, but a song like "The Next Right Thing" would never exist in the first film with that target audience in mind. Also surely if songs are the main factor behind the first film's success, shouldn't this one decrease in box office receipts because no song caught on the way one song did in the first film? It could very easily have gone the route of the latest Jumanji film, going from the astonishing $404 mil DOM of the prior film to struggling to breach even $300 mil. But it increased everywhere except Japan, a market which doesn't like sequels as much as original properties. That should convincingly disprove your point that this film isn't going to be remembered down the line. I'd even hazard a guess that Frozen II will age just as gracefully as it's predecessor (and much better on the animation and effects front) as the years go by. One day the kids who think they have outgrown it now will come back to it with older eyes and will discover more layers to it than they realised. That is why it, as with other Disney classics, will persist through generations.
