**on a sidenote, what film did Tangled go up against that makes it incomparable to Frozen?
The only thing comparable was Yogi Bear a few weeks later and that bombed.

^lol, nobody here has said lack of competition isnt an important factor in a films box office. Just that it doesnt matter in this case, because theres no evidence the film would have done *poorly* in a different situation. This conversation started with a poster saying Frozens success was due to lack of competition. The only retort has been that the film is still successful enough to warrant a potential attraction, and thats the point you seem to be conveniently glossing over. Whats naive is to talk as though youre an expert on something when you clearly only have a very basic understanding of one concept, then continuously arguing a point that no one has even contradicted.
Also, what movie did Tangled go against? That film didnt do quite as well but had similar competition...your argument would collapse on itself even if anyone was arguing with you because you dont know fully what youre talking about.
Nobody is saying the ONLY reason it did good is because of no competition. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees it is a great movie, and that is why it did so well and had repeat visitors. But you can't say the lack of competition didn't play a SMALL role in the success.
Boy that is simple, thank you for that parental nugget that I am sure will lead me to being a more productive parent! Do you also buckle them up when you drive them around in the car????? Cause I am still confused about that one and you seem to know everything.

So my contribution to this thread is over. Believe all you want that the Disney magic would have seen Frozen to over 600M now even if there were 10 other kids movies in the marketplace.
This just in!! This conversation has taken a step in the wrong direction and points trying to be made are being taken out of context all around. Let's just all agree that Disney sucks and Frozen is making James Cameron jealous at the box office to appease all parties.
Sarcasm...
Let's just agree to disagree and talk about the actual rumor vs the financial success of this film. I personally think it's a terrible move by replacing stories within the highly themed World Showcase. It's pretty much the only part of the park that makes sense anymore. I mean why bother with World Showcase in terms of attractions when Future World looks like something from 1994... The best thing Disney could do for Epcot IMO is revive the future it's covets so much.
