Thanks to the Disney Channel we may enjoy the movie trailer of The Princess and The Frog, the latest hand-drawn animated movie by Walt Disney Pictures, earlier than expected:
Walt Disney Pictures brings a classic tale to life!
Plot:
“A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the Jazz Age”
What a lovely a twist to this classic tale: the princess transforms into a frog after kissing the batracian!
But I still can’t say that I’m conquered by this animated movie… Maybe entertaining for my kids, bu not even sure about that… Well I suppose it’s one those movies that parents will force upon their children out of nostalgia… I don’t think this film deserves more a direct to dvd release…

The Princess and the Frog is a family feature film loosely based upon the book The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker. It marks the return a return to the Disney classic fairy tale. John Lasseter is confident in the quality of The Princess and the Frog and sing the praise of Directors John Musker and Ron Clements. He boasts about the movie:
“Actually seeing an animated film this well-done is like something brand new again.”

Call me a CGI convert, but I find hard to get excited for this animated movie… It doesn’t look bad, but that’s more something you’d expect to watch on TV with your family on Sunday rather than in a theater…
The movie The Princess and the Frog will be released on December 11, 2009.
