It's been a quite a while since Disney released a full-length, hand drawn feature film. There's a reason they stopped. The last few offerings from the studio were less than compelling and seemed to decrease in quality with each release (see: Home on the Range). Because of that downward trend, there was plenty of doubt to go around about this one, Disney's supposed return to form. Thankfully, those doubts were unfounded - Disney is back. While "The Princess and the Frog" may not be on the short list of the greatest Disney animated films ever, it belongs in the same category. It's got the look, the feel, and the humor we've all come to expect from the brand. The only thing I felt was lacking was a collection of memorable musical numbers. The songs were servicable, but nothing people are going to be humming afterwards. That being said, props to Disney for showing the world it's still got the magic! I hope this is the first of many.

ReplyDeleteTiana was a breath of fresh hair with her hard work ethic, sassyness and independency. Her life goal was not to find a prince and be taken care of, but to work hard for her own happily ever after. She is, by far, one of the most independent disney princesses and I am so glad Disney got around to making another strong heroine character. Thanks Disney; Cheers!
