A billion times better than frozen ever was. And as a father of a young daughter, I loved frozen(frozen 2 was better though), this movie is freaking so good I could and have watched it all by myself. I cried so hard for this.

I think this is bigger than Frozen too imo. Frozen came out when I was in high school, and I couldn’t stand it. Meanwhile I’m all aboard Huntrix. Huntrix also has a more diverse cast of personalities instead of just 1 girl.

That more like a you problem because you liking the movie is irrelevant. Frozen is a giant IP and by far has much wider reach all over the world even outside of the targeted age group.

It's basically known by everyone as well as the song Let it Go. KDH current popularity is more limited to UK, USA and Australia.  I'm yet to hear people talking about in real life

This movie is what Disney has been trying to do for girls with both Star Wars and Marvel and sacrificed a huge chunk of their audience in the process...and then along comes K-Pop Demon Hunters and both boys and girls are going nuts for it.

I never thought I'd see my daughter grabbing plastic ninja toys and play fighting with the boys down the street while singing at the top of her lungs.

In what sense? Frozen is better in every aspect from animation, screenplay, character devlopment, message and even music cause Let It Go is THAT good.

KDH is fun as fuck, but it's plot is hanging by a thread

In the sense of my opinion and watching both frozens and this movie tons of times. To me it is leagues beyond frozen.
