A traditional fairy-tale doesn't constantly say things like:
You can't marry a man you just met
Who marries a man she just met?
It's true love!
A traditional fairy-tale doesn't constantly mock what other fairy-tales do. I mean, Cinderella did mock itself twice but they didn't do it constantly. The Duke just explained how the King's idea of Charming finding his love at the ball was something for fairy-tales but not in real life and when he mentions that the slipper is likely to fit more than one girl. Cinderella was made back in 1950, it mocked itself twice, and didn't beat a dead horse like Frozen did. Frozen acts more like a satire that hammers the lesson and the jokes in. In fact, Enchanted was more subtle than Frozen was.
No, it's not. By always pointing out the "flaws" of the original fairy tales it loses all the heart and naive charm that these stories carry. It comes off as a very cynical movie that tries hard to be "deep" and "analytical".
