After the visual bombast of many contemporary CG and motion-capture features, the drawn characters in
The Princess and the Frog, the Walt Disney Studio's eagerly awaited return to traditional animation, feel doubly welcome. Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements (
The Little Mermaid, Aladdin),
The Princess and the Frog moves the classic fairy tale to a snazzy version of 1920s New Orleans. Tiana (voice by Anika Noni Rose), the first African-American Disney heroine, is not a princess, but a young woman who hopes to fulfill her father's dream of opening a restaurant to serve food that will bring together people from all walks of life. Tiana may wish upon a star, but she believes that hard work is the way to fulfill your aspirations. Her dedication clashes with the cheerful idleness of the visiting prince Naveen (Bruno Campos). A voodoo spell cast by Dr. Facilier (Keith David) in a showstopping number by composer Randy Newman initiates the events that will bring the mismatched hero and heroine together. However, the animation of three supporting characters--Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley), a jazz-playing alligator; Ray (Jim Cummings), a Cajun firefly; and 197-year-old voodoo priestess Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis)--is so outstanding, it nearly steals the film. Alternately funny, touching, and dramatic,
The Princess and the Frog is an all-too-rare example of a holiday entertainment a family can enjoy together, with the most and least sophisticated members appreciating different elements. The film is also a welcome sign that the beleaguered Disney Feature Animation Studio has turned away from such disasters as
Home on the Range,
Chicken Little, and
Meet the Robinsons and is once again moving in the right direction. Rated G: General Audiences, suitable for ages 6 and older: violence, some scary imagery, tobacco use) --

Cajun Fun, 2010-07-30
My boys ages 21 months, 4.5, & 6.5 really enjoyed this disney film. It is very colorful w/ beautiful animation set in New Orleans. Lots of songs throughout to keep the little ones interested. Good story and happy ending as well. About an hour and 40 minutes long. I'd recommend it, may purchase if price falls. Wide-screen image (1.78:1) fills the whole TV screen !
A frog!, 2010-07-28
CG Animation is a beautiful thing - it's given animation permission to explore themes that it couldn't before, like non-musical stories. Disney Traditional still hasn't gotten that in their thick skulls, and this movie makes many of same mistakes they were making post-Lion King (a politically correct voodoo priestess?! C'mon!).
But the movie is no less enjoyable; a great tale about balancing ambitions with character. It contains characters with strong dreams to risk, in addition to a villian worthy of fear (Parents, it may be rated G, but there are some shocking moments in the graveyard). As an aside, there are fantastic animation moments, worthy of the name Disney contained in 3 of the songs. During these sequences, you "leave" the story for a moment, enjoy it, and when you're back you'll say to yourself, "Oh yeah, we left off here".
While watching this movie, remind yourself that those lines you're seeing (which define the characters) are actually the artists'own marks (albeit the clean-up artist, but the movement is straight from the animator) - and that, my friends, is a privilege.

This movie was cute and fun. It was well done. It was surprising how it all unfolded.
Too Stereotypic, 2010-07-25
Why did a movie about a black princess have to be emeshed in a social and polictical framework? This movie attempted to capture black culture and failed miserably. This movie is not represenative of the black experience for most. Only people with roots in the creole culture might relate to this movie but that is only a fraction of the African American experience. What happened to the fantasy framework of all the other Disney princess movies? Film makers persist in portraying African Americans steeped in the stereotypes of the antebellum south. The very over played setting of The black servant's child playing with the rich white plantation owners daughter needs to be put to rest. The south, the massa/servant relationship, the dixieland music, the gumbo, the dialect, the voodoo, the caricatures, the prince, of course, couldn't be a black male to save the black princess and other stereotypes galore made for an incredibly disappointing cinema experience and disappointed with Disney --again. Blacks have progressed eons beyond the black slave/servant image ..just look around in the real world and step outside of racist stereotypics perceptions of black people in the USA . Stop tying and portraying African Americans to slavery and as servants, gangsters and criminals.
