7) It’s Not All About Size… – Frozen (2013)
While this one isn’t a visual moment, it’s still a sneaky little sexual reference and since this is such a beloved film, we’ve decided to include it here since not many people seemed to have picked up on it.
As you no doubt know, one of the most refreshing aspects of Frozen, and the reason critics and audiences took to it so well, was its ‘new’ take on romance. For Disney, the emphasis on sisterly love over marriage was a relatively progressive stance compared to how the earlier princesses just swooned over the first handsome man they saw. Anna starts out like one of these typical leading ladies with her obsession over Hans – BOOOOOOO! – after only meeting him once, but fortunately, Kristoff jumps in to point out how ridiculous their engagement is.
On their way to the North Mountain, Kristoff quizzes Anna about Hans, asking whether she even knows the basics such as his last name, favorite food, eye color etc. Innocent enough, so far. However, when Kristoff asks Anna about Hans’ foot size, she quickly responds by saying that “Foot size doesn’t matter…”
Turns out Anna is more interested in Hans for his personality than the size of his penis. If that doesn’t scream feminism, then I don’t know what does.
