The Princess and the Frog

Beautifully summarised.

Not surprisingly so, this film has earned its place as my favourite Disney feature. Being partial to cooking and very much a fan of New Orleans Blues and Jazz, the plot and soundtrack made the best of first impressions. The film and soundtrack are now a permanent fixture in my iphone.

Favourite character is the old woman living in the swamp

Gorgeous. A well received return to Disney's traditional roots. Beautiful animation, memorable characters, catchy songs and music.

The voice work is pitch perfect. The leads are great but it's the side characters that bring that Disney magic. I always love Keith Davids distinctive voice and here he brings such delightful menace to Dr Facilier. Michael-Lee Wooley's Louis the Aligator is so spirited and Jim Cummings Ray the Firefly is heart warming. Jenifer Lewis brings Mama Odie to life and she is gold!

The Princess and the Frog is funny and it's sad. It's charged and it's touching. It's New Orleans.

Random side note: I took my son to see the exhibition Dreams Come True: The Art of Disney's Classic Fairy Tales in Melbourne, Australia in April 2011 which ended with PatF (and Tangled, also another joy to watch) and they had the character maquettes. It was quite a spin to walk among these great characters with a third dimension and see the fine attention to detail.

Totally Ninja!

"Princess and the Frog" is one of my all-time favorite Disney animated films too. It's a beautiful story with a powerful message – hard work is more important than wishing on a star. Tiana is an absolutely incredible character and a fantastic role model, especially for young girls. Her journey is a timeless reminder that determination and ambition can lead to happily ever after. 🐸👑✨

I didn;t really appreciate this film the first time round, watching it again I suddenly realised what I had missed and really appreciated it. I love the songs from the film and the obvious plot twist. Charlotte is hilarious!

The end of the movie is so touching, I just love Ray and Evangeline. And Charlotte is a great character too, a nice change from the used mean blonde girl!

The animation was breathtaking, but wow, [spoiler] Ray's death hit me like a truck. Totally unnecessary heartbreak! I was left stunned, crying my eyes out—gave me the same emotional gut punch as Dobby in Harry Potter. [/spoiler]

Beautiful 2D animation! Made me come back to my childhood again.
Funny and emotional, full of vibrant colors and great musical numbers!

So fun. Disney needs to go back to hand drawn animation

Highly underrated Disney film which recalls the glory days of the Disney Renaissance. As of 2021, this is the last D film in classic hand-drawn style. Absolutely fantastic music and great fully fleshed heroine. Can't recommend enough.
