Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin), The Princess and the Frog moves the classic fairy tale to a snazzy version of 1920s New Orleans. Tiana (voice by Anika Noni Rose), the first African-American Disney heroine, is not a princess, but a young woman who hopes to fulfill her father's dream of opening a restaurant to serve food that will bring together people from all walks of life. Tiana may wish upon a star, but she believes that hard work is the way to fulfill your aspirations. Her dedication clashes with the cheerful idleness of the visiting prince Naveen (Bruno Campos). A voodoo spell cast by Dr. Facilier (Keith David) in a showstopping number by composer Randy Newman initiates the events that will bring the mismatched hero and heroine together. However, the animation of three supporting characters--Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley), a jazz-playing alligator; Ray (Jim Cummings), a Cajun firefly; and 197-year-old voodoo priestess Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis)--is so outstanding, it nearly steals the film. Alternately funny, touching, and dramatic, The Princess and the Frog is an all-too-rare example of a holiday entertainment a family can enjoy together, with the most and least sophisticated members appreciating different elements. The film is also a welcome sign that the beleaguered Disney Feature Animation Studio has turned away from such disasters as Home on the Range, Chicken Little, and Meet the Robinsons and is once again moving in the right direction.

The Princess And The Frog. Hmm. Song Of The South was much better, but regrettably today’s generation can’t see it.

Possibly the worst Disney animated film of all time. The animation is great. The hand-drawn frames and vibrant colors are wonderful, but what was Disney thinking with this awful story? Look at the height that they have fallen from. We are not supposed to be comparing the storyline with a Saturday morning cartoon. This is supposed to be a real movie. Look at the old Disney films: Lion King, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Robin Hood. What made them great? The story, plain and simple. I hope Disney loses millions on this film so they will learn to stop writing such awful material. Also. . . This movie is set in America. We have a democracy here not a monarchy. There are no princesses here. Also. . . this story is supposed to be set in New Orleans. This movie is out of place and completely out of line for Disney. Disney. . . come back.

If I had taken a small child to this, we would have walked out.
Shadowy demons dragging the living villin to Hell is NOT my idea of a childs animated video. It was as disturbing as the vivisection in “Toy Story”. We did walk out of that one.

This movie is pure racial propaganda. Why are they trying to jam a black into the white European princess outfits, stories, and role? Why arent they trying to put whites in the roles in black mythologies? It does not make any sense. Blacks have different IQ’s, different temperaments, and different cultures. Mixing the two in this manner is destructive of white cultures and peoples, and is insulting to blacks. Leave blacks out of white myths! This movie is horrible. What next, a black playing a northern European pagan god? Geez. . . Whites have a right to be who they are, so do blacks. The new “religion” of anti-racism is going to ridiculous extremes.

I took my one year old son to see this and we ended up walking out. There was voodoo magic and tarot cards which are NOT only against our beliefs, but I believe not something to be showing children (and encouraging) either. Voodoo is a real religion that curses people, and causes much misfortune. It is ironic that the cure for their being led astray by voodoo is to try and seek another voodoo witch. . . Very, very disappointing. I had a lot higher hopes, as others said, for Disney’s first black princess. How about we give the AA community a black woman to look up to, not one that is making critical mistakes!
