Are you getting excited about seeing “The Princess and the Frog”? I am! The reviews have been coming in since it premiered in New York and Los Angeles and so far so good. The rest of us have to wait until December 11 to see it.
In the video clip below, John Lasseter talks about the classic elements of “The Princess and the Frog,” and why the film is relevant to modern audiences.
So, what are film critics saying about the movie exactly? Here’s what they have to say:
- Entertainment Weekly: "A-level, G-rated entertainment."
- New York Post: "The Disney magic — not to be confused with the delights of its Pixar subsidiary — is finally back."
- New York Times: "Disney, the company that immortalized pale pretties like Snow White and the zip-a-dee-doo-dah of plantation living in ‘Song of the South’ has made a fairy tale about a black heroine, a character whose shoulders and story prove far too slight for all the hopes already weighing her down. It’s no wonder she’s soon jumping into the bayou, green legs and all."
- USA Today: "What a relief to watch an animated movie without 3-D glasses! And what a pleasure, after a season of bland computer-generated tales, to be swept up in the visual magic of ‘The Princess and the Frog.’ "
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin” comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), 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 from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman.
