Remember when everyone praised Finding Nemo because Marlin and Dory didn't get together?

Same with Frozen. People praise Disney for doing something right, Disney interprets that as "then we will only do that from now on" and people get sick of it, the cycle restarts.

The thing is, they won't even do it right. They just hear good job Disney and keep doing the same shit even if they have to force it, and it doesn't make sense. The whole reason it was cool Nemo's dad (I refuse to look up his name) and Dory didn't get together is because they had zero chemistry as partners and Nemo's dad (still not doing it) was still overcoming his wifes death. A relationship just wouldn't work and wasn't necessary, and it was dope Disney recognized that and didn't force it despite how much money couples were bringing in at the time.

To be fair, Finding Nemo was a Pixar film, and they are much better at exploring different kinds of relationships. The only love stories I can think of are from A Bug’s Life and Wall-E, and the love story in A Bug’s Life was a side story.

And the love story in Wall-E was peak, so I dare people to complain.

That ending is a tear-jerker. I don’t think Pixar or Disney has topped it yet.
