Disney rockets back to its roots--Dec. 11 marks the premier of "The Princess and the Frog"--the triumphant return of Disney animation as the nation knew it in the golden age.
Not only is this a return it’s an advance. The main talk besides the animation is the main heroine—Tiana. The 19 year old waitress and aspiring restaurant owner is African-American: the first in a line of eight official Disney Princesses.
The original and beloved animation style of hits such as "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast" is making it's way back into Disney. These classically hand-drawn feature films are also noted for their musical scores--which used to always garnish Oscar nods.
Not only is the spirited animation not seen since “Home on the Range”—maybe not the most memorable way to look back, but nonetheless the majority of fans are excited to see a return to what made them fall in love with Disney.
The classic fairytale comes to life from the animation team of John Musker and Ron Clements the team responsible for some of the best-loved Disney movies from “The Lady and the Tramp,” “The Rescuers” and “Hercules.”
Besides the wonder-team animation, the musical score promises to strike a cord with its audience—Oscar winner Randy Newman directs this movie to be more than just a film it’s a guaranteed musical, something fans have been looking forward to for a very long time.
