What kind of parents erase part of their child’s memory just because she was hurt by magic, instead of helping both children understand what happened And then leave on a dangerous journey when one child is 18 and the other is only 15, without knowing how long they will be gone or even taking the younger one with them?
I think it’s well accepted and understood that their parents made a mistake by erasing their memories and keep Elsa isolated, etc.
The movie doesn’t present this as the correct choice. It was clearly wrong.
But also, these are normal people being presented with an unheard of supernatural threat. You can’t blame them too much for doing what they could to try to keep both children safe. Even though in this case, they made the wrong call.

Aren't they just listening to what the magical trolls are telling them to do to save her life?

This take, unfortunately, is more than a decade old.
Frozen 1 plot is bizarre with the backstory to setup the surprise reveal.

I remember watching it for the first time years after it came out and thinking this is such a bizarre story/plot from start to finish. I think the music was so good it distracted from the nonsensical plot.

The plot was heavily changed around multiple times late into development.

YUP. It’s one of the few children’s movie twists that catches people off guard because it makes little sense. It’s thematically jarring. Zero foreshadowing in a children’s movie is pretty unusual.

Sadly, family counselling was not available at the time. 😁
