The age-old story of the princess and the frog is known to all - a handsome prince turned into a frog that can only be reversed by a kiss from a princess.

Though it isn't on par with some of the "classics" in Disney animation, the Princess and the Frog is a fun and energetic take on the popular fairytale. The Cajun setting is unique for a Disney film and richly executed visually and the varied ethnicities of the characters is also refreshing. |

The animation is top-notch, but I found the story and music to be pretty standard. I'm glad Disney hasn't given up on traditional 2D animation, but if this is their best effort, it's on shaky ground. |

Finally! A return to the Disney animated films I grew up on. I only pray that this causes Disney to produce more and more of them. |

Well, I definitely didn't voodoo magic from New Orleans to tell me how this movie was going to go. There was nothing original about this movie except for the fact that it had soul and the princess was not your typical Disney princess. The Disney movies that I watched growing up were really truly magical. Sure some of the characters in this film were fun (especially the lighting bug), but it was missing that extra POW and that extra drama that you get from Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast. The movie had its moments, but all in all it was a bit of a let down unfortunately. I will say, though, that I DID like that it had that 90's feel to it without all the silly "3D." |

A Treasure |

I firmly believe that "The Princess and the Frog" is one of the best non-pixar animated film ever to be created. There has never been a better argument for the revival of traditional animated films.
"The Princess and the Frog," follows of the story of Tiana, a young woman who dreamed of opening her own resteraunt since she was a child. She's so close to her dream, when she gets outbid for the building she wants, and worse; turns into a frog due to a voodoo spell. Tiana and the spoiled Prince Navine must find a way to turn back into a human.
This film is visually enchanting, with gorgeous 2D animation that even rivals modern day CGI. One particularly dazzling scene, is during Dr. Facilier's song, "Friends on the Other Side," a vibrant colored, and elaborate musical number that will... |

Disney Definitely! |

This film brings together all the magic that has been missing since the old Disney films. It is every bit as amazing as Beauty and the Beast, if not a teensy bit more original. The plot is charming, the traditional storyline a bit twinged. The music is stunning from beginning to end and complements the plot wonderfully. The animation is tip top and the characters are very real and recognisable in modern society. The film has the trademark Disney happy ending that we all love to see, but it also brings across important lessons like you have to work hard in life to achieve your dreams and you will come second if you associate yourself with evil things. I have a compulsion to see New Orleans and its multi-cultural background and French influence. This film is ideal for children, but perhaps ... |
