As for Frozen, the scene is WAY too similar to the Beauty and The Beast (the animated movie, not the crap live action one) wolves scene, it's just a simple way to raise stakes in a life threatening way. It's also a chance to have a sad death or an epic take down scene to show how totally cool and strong their characters are. You would probably like Balto, though.

As for the little girl, I think you're assuming too much. "Hated" is probably synonymous to "scared of" or "don't understand", not "I want to see them all killed by the Government", and when she grows up she'll have more access to the necessary education to learn about them and form an informed and logical opinion, instead of an intimidated emotion based one. Maybe she should watch Balto, too? :P XD Thank you, I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who thinks this.

Now that I think about it, you are right: the Frozen wolf attack scene is extremely similar to the wolf attack scene in Beauty in the Beast. I figured that those were the reasons why such scenes existed, but I just wish that moviemakers would take the real world consequences of how they represent animals into consideration; there are many other ways to accomplish those goals without demonizing an animal species.

Hopefully the little girl will change her attitude towards wolves as she grows up and learns more about them and the environment. But there are even adults today who have the "kill all wolves" mentality, and the anti-wolf movement is pretty strong in the state where I live, so it is also possible that she will grow up to hate them. That said, I hope that you are right.

I love Balto!
