The MovieSite — The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog

Disney returns to their 2D hand-drawn animation style for this quirky outing. Set in New Orleans back in the 1920s, a struggling young woman kisses a frog in the hope that he will turn into a prince. Instead, she turns into a frog, and then the two of them have to figure out a way to break the spell that has enfrogged both of them.

Box Office (USA)Pete Hammond An instant classic

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert The Princess and the Frog inspires memories of Disney's Golden Age it doesn't quite live up to, as I've said, but it's spritely and high-spirited, and will allow kids to enjoy it without visually assaulting them.

eye Weekly (Canada)Will Sloan The film’s style of animation deliberately recalls the Disney Studios’ early-’90s winning streak (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc.), but these archetypal characters feel more calculated, and the hyper-paced storytelling leaves little room for emotional investment.

ScreenIt (USA)T. Durgin Is it one of this year's best and most entertaining movies? The answer to that is a most resounding Yes!
