The HCA stuff was cool and if the Frozen characters were such static cutouts (who were very present, but never relevant) with decent tie-ins, I'd like it. It (or rather the writers) forced Emma into an Elsa type roll which made no sense whatsoever. I guess I tie that into the Disney handling stuff.

Brave had a cool story element and even a cool subplot, but it was that added thing that could have been better at a different time. Doing it during the Dark Swan arc made sense, but there was so much more important stuff going on that Merida would have been better off with like a two-parter episode in the middle right before the 'Big Twist" of Dark Hook, but I digress.

In another note, Emma was forced to parallel Elsa (Emma and Regina to parallel Anna and Elsa) during the Frozen arc, while Merida didn't parallel or really connect to anyone at all, not Belle, Rumple, and especially not Emma.
