    You can blame it on anything really. Maybe people just like the color blue… tmakes sense considering that Finding Nemo also became s big success and that was literally in blue.

    My point being, as long as you can argue for something you can have a point.

        Exactly! But I think the clue colours help a lot too… /S Also the ice theme, in a world struggling with global warming could be a utopian fairy tale in the viewers subconscious

      I am not sure I agree. Female characters tend to attract a big female audience which is often underserved and thus inclined to create a much bigger buzz surrounding movies that cater to them. “Barbie” being another example of that IMO.
