The Princess and the Frog (Single-Disc Edition)

Description

Disney celebrates a modern-day classic from the directors
of THE LITTLE MERMAID and ALADDIN. Discover what really happened after the
princess kissed the frog in an inspired twist on the world’s most famous kiss.
This hilarious adventure leaps off the screen with stunning animation,
irresistible music and an unforgettable cast of characters. Enter Princess
Tiana’s world of talking frogs, singing alligators and lovesick fireflies as
she embarks on an incredible journey through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.
Spurred on by a little bit of courage and a great big dream, these new friends
come to realize what’s truly important in life…love, family and friendship.
Overflowing with humor and heart, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG is an incredible
motion picture experience your whole family will want to enjoy again and
again! After the visual bombast of many contemporary CG and motion-
capture features, the drawn characters in The Princess and the Frog, the Walt
Disney Studio’s eagerly awaited return to traditional animation, feel doubly
welcome. 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. Rated G: General Audiences, suitable for ages 6 and older:
violence, some scary imagery, tobacco use) –Charles Solomon Stills from
