Not a rewatch, but I recently watched Frozen (2013). I'd heard the songs already (who hasn't?), but knew nothing of the plot. Boy, the themes of depression, anxiety, and PTSD were a lot more intense than I was expecting from a family-friendly Disney animated film.
Spoiler
After the accident, the trolls tell Elsa that "fear will be her enemy"... and then they scare her to the point that she withdraws from society and even her own family for over a decade out of fear of hurting them. The trolls also wipe Anna's memory, so she has no idea why Elsa is suddenly ignoring her. It's actually quite miraculous that the sisters turned out as well-adjusted as they did.Haha I think about the well-adjusted part all the time. Definitely hand-waviness on the part of Disney for that one!
Spoiler
Well, the queen does go AWOL mere hours after her coronation, and the next-in-line almost marries away the kingdom, so... they weren't entirely well-adjusted :)
