The Princess and the Frog is Disney's first foray into 2D animation since 3D animation took over several years ago. I don't know how kid's of today will receive this movie, but back then every 2d animated flick released by Disney was a major event. And I think this is exactly why I enjoyed the Princess and the Frog, it reminded me so much of my childhood.
That is not to take any merit away from the movie. On its own it stands as one of Disney's best. As with previous Disney creations, this one tries to update a classic story and is a brave entrance into untested waters. It features Disney's first black princess, Tihanna who is strong and independent and is unlikely to wait for any Prince Charming to save her from poverty. She dreams of having her own restaurant in New Orleans and she does everything she can to own one. But soon she discovers something more important in life that's been there all along - love and family.
Princess also features great music which shows what we already know from past Disney movies - they make movies not just for kids but also for adults to enjoy. The jazz tunes and performances is reminiscent of classic Disney fares such as Beauty's Be Our Guest filled with fireworks and amazing over the top animation.
Princess proves that Disney still has got it and I give it a B.
