Frozen takes the traditional “princess meets prince, they fall in love” trope and turns it on its head. While in many Disney princess movies, the prince is the source of resolution, and Frozen starts out painting this picture, by the end it is clear that the guy who suddenly appeared in Anna’s life and tried to court her is not a good guy. The foreshadowed act of true love is actually about her relationship with her sister.
While this kid’s movie is not overwhelmingly complex in plot, it’s understandable if some would put it a bit above Moana, which is also a good movie. But the plot of Moana is essentially a duo going on a MacGuffin hunt with a few character-shifting plot points sprinkled onto that path. But it’s more colorful and has a wider range of enjoyable songs, so depending on what you like, it may be a better watch. To each their own.

I love using Hans as an example when I’m trying to explain to my children that sometimes bad people will pretend to be nice to you.
