Why is Elsa bigger/more popular than Anna from the Frozen franchise when Anna is 10x more interesting/fun/cute in the film?
Anna doesn't have as much merch, childrens costumes and children don't seem to want to be Anna who has a much bigger personality than Elsa whom is only interesting when she is fierce during Let It Go.
Because contrary to popular believe, girls do love a more complex character and we especially love female character that have power. Anna is a stereotypical manic pixie dream girl.
Plus her look is basic and forgetable. Elsa's look is more memorable and more glamorous.
Probably because Elsa released her hit single when she's already an adult, same like Katy Perry, Rihanna, than Anna who has hit from her childhood era (like Disney artist). like Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato
