'Frozen' Adds Snowmen, Loses Some of my Interest

While I'm still hopeful that Disney's Frozen animated feature will be awesome (like Tangled was), the new plot details revealed recently are leaving me somewhat less optimistic:
When Anna is cursed by her estranged sister, the cold-hearted Snow Queen, Anna’s only hope of reversing the curse is to survive a perilous but thrilling journey across an icy and unforgiving landscape. Joined by a rugged, thrill-seeking outdoorsman, his one-antlered reindeer and a hapless snowman, Anna must race against time, conquer the elements and battle an army of menacing snowmen if she ever hopes to melt her frozen heart.
Hapless and menacing snowmen? Seriously? Clear broad comedy throw-in. I like reindeer, though, so that could be fun. Not sure how I feel about them turning it from a cursed land to just the protagonist being cursed - lowers the stakes a lot, but maybe that's just a misread. The sisters angle is certainly interesting!
