The Princess and the Frog Movie Poster

With the Princess and the Frog, that now makes for forty nine animated movies by Walt Disney. No doubt as with other Disney movies, the Princess and the Frog movie poster will wind up in many children's bedrooms across the country.

The movie is based somewhat on the novel The Frog Princess which is somewhat based on the fairy tale The Frog Prince. The story takes place in the New Orleans French Quarter. Mean ole Dr. Facilier weaves his magic and turn Naveen the prince into a frog. Naveen mistakenly identifies Tiana as a princess and get her to kiss him thinking the spell will be broken. The whole thing backfires because instead of turning the prince back into prince, it changes Tiana into a frog also. So the adventure begins as they both head off to find Mama Odie the good priestess who can fix their problem. As they go, they make new friends including an gator that plays the trumpet and a firefly with a passion for romance.

Particularly noted by most reviewers of The Princess and the Frog is that Tiana is African American. Most think it is about time Disney had a lead character not of the Snow White variety.

Tiana also distinguishes herself from other Disney female characters who mostly get rescued by their prince charmings. Tiana thinks more work than romance. While mom is thinking about her romantic life, Tiana is thinking about opening a restaurant. She less into wishing for something happening and more into making things happen.

Here are a few reviews of the movie online:

Never lose sight of what is really important is the moral of this enchanting Disney animation whose jazzy and funky twist on the original fable brings a of surprises, laughter and music.

Princess and the Frog revels in the sumptuous qualities of mood and color and especially music that flow naturally through hand-drawn animation but eludes the subroutines of computer animation.

Despite all the fuss that's been made over the fact that this is Disney's first film with a black heroine this is pretty completely Disney basic.

The film is a wonderful reminder of how Disney truly is the king of hand-drawn animation, with the rich, lush backgrounds and a fluidity in the characters that you really can't get anywhere else.

It doesn't tread much new ground, but that's beside the point. The lack of a black princess in Disney's repertoire was as appalling as it was glaring. This otherwise excellent film makes a solid effort to remedy that.

It's a return to Disney's glory days of animation at the end of the last century, and hopefully it proves to be profitable enough to keep hand-drawn 2D alive for the studio.

It's like getting into a time machine and going back to the days of great mouse detectives, lion kings, and open-hearted beauties and their lovelorn beasts.

They avoid trying to make the film hip, modern and sassy, which is such a breath of fresh air. The Princess and The Frog is like the antidote to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Sqeakquel.

But now a look at a the Princess and the Frog movie poster. This will surely delight a child to see this on their bedroom wall and remind both parent and child of the fun of seeing the movie together.
