The Princess and The Frog

EVERYBODY KNOWS THE STORY OF THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. THE MAGICAL TALE IN WHICH THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL KISSES THE LITTLE FROG AND, BY DOING SO, TURNS HIM INTO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MAN. THE STORY ENDS AS ANY FAIRY TALE IS SUPPOSED TO END, WITH A HAPPILY EVER AFTER. OR DOES IT? WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AFTER WHAT IS MOST PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS KISS IN THE HISTORY OF FAIRY TALES?

Even though they come from very different social classes, young Tiana and Charlotte are the best of friends. One night, while finishing Charlotte’s dress, Eudora, Tiana’s mom, tells the girls the magical story of The Frog Prince. When she gets to the part where the princess kisses the frog in order to break the spell and transform him into a young man, the romantic Charlotte is delighted, but Tiana is disgusted, and swears she would never ever kiss a frog.

When the free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia comes to New Orleans, a deal with a shady voodoo doctor goes bad and the once suave royal is turned into a frog. In a desperate attempt to be human again, a favor in exchange for a fateful kiss on the lips from the beautiful girl, Tiana, takes an unexpected turn and leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana to the banks of the almighty Mississippi and back in time for Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

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. An unforgettable tale filled with music, humor and heart where two frogs—along with the help of a 197-year-old voodoo priestess, a love-sick Cajun firefly, and a trumpet-playing alligator—discover that what they want isn’t as important as what they need.

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, a tradition that Walt Disney set 72 years ago with the release of their first animated film Snow White.

The Princess and The Frog, starring Anika Noni Rose, Oprah Winfrey, Keith David, Jenifer Lewis, John Goodman, Bruno Campos, Terrence Howard, will open in New York and Los Angeles on November 25, and worldwide on December 11 2009. –B-

Oily dicks and Disney princess ... that is quite a stretch! Not sure I get the concept o this site.

In this day of CGI and whizz-bang special effects, it is great to see Walt Disney returning to the time-honored (and expensive) tradition of hand-drawn animation. This more personal, human touch from the illustrator always brings the characters more vividly to life, with genuine, believable emotions infused into each creation.
