If Frozen wasn't included, you would never see any character be exactly like Disney showed. They literally could not change Elsa and Anna and I bet they really didn't want to put Frozen in if it wasn't successful and just going of the hype train. You can even see how the ratings sharply dropped after the first few episodes. I think even ABC is willing to admit, that adding Frozen to OUaT was not the best idea. Everyone knew it was just a cheap marketing ploy and gimmick. Frozen cattered to the wrong audience, and ABC probably knew that. Most adults were already sick of the film's hype. Everyone I know views it as strictly a children's film.  OUaT's charm is that it feels nostalgic,and Frozen is anything but that.
