Those frogs from the movie The Princess and the Frogs aren’t the most interesting characters of the film, actually besides the supporting character who do more than stealing teh show, there’s Dr Facilier the villain of the story who’s got a real charisma:

I prefer CGI animation to hand-drawn animation, but a hand-drawn animated movie once I a while isn’t a bad thing… Well, as long as the story revolves around a cute girl!
;-P

The opening scene of The Princess and The Frog, aka the Princess Frog, has shown up online. It’s in Portuguese, but still worth a look:

The Princess and the Frog 5 Minute Clip

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG – First 5 minutes
Plot:
“A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the Jazz Age.”

Kids may enjoy the Princess and the Frog, but the way it looks, I think Disney is rather targeting grown-ups who are nostalgic of hand-drawn animation…
:)

Disney Pictures wants to reconnect with its glorious past in hand-drawn animation by producing The Princess and the Frog. The film will be relased in December 2009, but meanwhile let’s watch this first clip of the Princess and the Frog

Princess and the Frog Preview Clip

The Princess and the Frog
That’s exactly the answer: you must kiss me!
Kissing a frog, really? That girl must be really depressed… Or maybe he real intent was to get high from licking that frog? I should stop there, afraid to become like the old Scrooge in a A Christmas Carol…
:)

Walt Disney has released a new featurette for the Princess and the Frog, the upcoming hand-drawn animated movie directed by Ron Clements and John Musker:

If you go watch this movie with young kids: don’t forget to tell them that there is no need to kiss frogs for real!
;-P

Expect plenty of crazy characters in this new hand-drawn animated movie produced by Walt Disney!

There is a new Princess and the Frog trailer:

The Princess and the Frog Movie Trailer

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Plot:
“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 feels just like Aladdin. Normal, after all the same guys are working on it. Still no way I’d miss a fairytale infused with voodoo that brings us from the jazzy French Quarter of New Orleans to the swamp in the Bayou!
