I'm not certain a Game Changer candidate is supposed to be applied against an entire brand. Because yeah, compared to earliest Micky Mouse shorts Frollo is extremely dark and edgy.

But when a particular franchise and its debut story starts its opening moments with a character chasing and cutting down a young mother and then nearly kill her misshapen baby, the story/franchise's tone is set, no matter how light-hearted other moments may be.

In fact, light-heartedness is needed to contrast The Heavy and Big Bad Especially in children/family-oriented franchises which rely upon easy recognizability of Good and Evil, so even the youngest of the audience KNOW WHO to dislike.

Frollo's first opening moments sets The Game, and no one comes along to Change it.
