The Princess and the Frog is a tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana, a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. The Princess and the Frog marks the return to hand-drawn animation.Disney has finally gone back to its roots with awesome success. Disney was at its best when it would churn out one of these a year. They had that amazing stretch with The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King and Beauty & The Beast. Then it kind of faded a little bit with The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan. They were all still great and then Disney fell in love with Pixar and stopped making these types of movies that inevitably become classics just because of the mix of great storylines for kids, awesome sidekick characters and original music/dance scenes mixed in. The Princess And The Frog returns to that formula in every way. They can go ahead and get these characters walking the streets of Disney World. Its not quite on par with those four absolute triumphs that I mentioned, but its pretty close and thats very impressive considering the long layoff. I hope that Disney can capitalize on this and keep making these types of movies to go along with Pixar's greatness. It would be awesome to have an Up and a Princess And The Frog every year.
I fully recommend this movie. Its a great trip to the movies for kids and adults. Probably the best universal option that you'll have for the holidays.
