I can certainly see why you would think that, and it's a sentiment I've seen expressed in other places.

But this is the same kind of talk that was going on when Aurora, Phillip and Mulan were announced. And those characters are now loved by a large number of fans. (I know you're not a fan of them, Choc, but you see my point)

The writing team on this show is in the wonderful position of being able to pick and choose what stories and characters they want. They love "Snow White", so they're doing a retelling of that story. They love Frozen, so we'll be seeing those characters. But what is Frozen, anyway, besides a Disney telling of the "Snow Queen"? :) Yeah, they're using the Disneyfied names and traits of those characters, but I don't think they're going to just... transplant Anna, Kristoff, and Elsa straight from the movie. That's not what they do.
