Trailer 2


Content:
When The free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia (Bruno Campos) comes to town, a deal with a shady voodoo doctor (Keith David) goes bad and the once suave royal is turned into a frog. In a desperate attempt to be human again, a favor in exchange for a fateful kiss on the lips from the beautiful girl, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), takes an unexpected turn and leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana to the banks of the almighty Mississippi and back in time for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. An unforgettable tale filled with music, humor and heart where two frogs—along with the help of a 197-year-old voodoo priestess, a love-sick Cajun firefly, and a trumpet-playing alligator—discover that what they want isn’t as important as what they need.
In the official trailer it is revealed that once Tiana kisses the frog prince, she herself becomes a frog, and they must journey together to change themselves back to humans.

Wikipedia fairy tale about princesses


The classic tale of the princess, the kiss, and the frog gets a sequel (with a bit of a setting swap!)—marking Disney's return to the timeless magic of traditional animation. Anika Noni Rose lends her voice to the stunning young woman from New Orleans who is about to seal a fate with a single kiss. Along with the legendary duo behind "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin"—directors Ron Clements and John Musker—and the incredible Oscar ®-winning composer Randy Newman, they bring you the most beautiful love story ever told... just with more frogs, voodoo, and a singing alligator.

Finally, Disney is returning to classic animation! Personally, I’ve always been much more of a fan of 2D hand-drawn styles over the whole 3D look—it just has that certain charm, you know? They’ve tweaked the story a bit (if I recall correctly, she doesn't turn into a frog in the original version) and they're featuring a Black princess for the first time. I am definitely checking this one out.🍿

He’s actually pulling decent reviews. This should be a guaranteed hit for the pre-Christmas season.

It’s a cute little flick, I guess, but let's not get carried away—it isn't much more than that. I actually dragged myself to the theater to catch this when it first dropped because I've always had a soft spot for classic 2D animation; there's just a certain charm to it that you just don't get anymore.

And honestly? The music hits way harder in the original version than it does in the American dub.

Honestly, this might even be the worst Disney movie they've done using that old-school formula, IMO. It just lacked... what? That spark? The songs aren't memorable enough, the plot is poorly executed, and the whole vibe feels incredibly lukewarm. What a massive disappointment, especially since I was actually looking forward to it.

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I just finished watching this movie and I am honestly blown away. Everything from the soundtrack to the characters (especially Charlotte 😍 )
I really don't get the disappointment.
They seriously need to bring back 2D animation... it’s a hundred times better and looks so much more beautiful

I totally agree! It is such a fantastic watch for kids and for us older crowds too, 😬 and everything was just so beautifully crafted.

I'm with you on that. Traditional animation has a certain magic to it—it's a shame everyone seems obsessed with CGI these days.

I thought this movie was absolutely fantastic! I truly had such a blast watching it, especially getting to soak in all that classic, old-school Disney animation style. Plus, let’s be honest—how could a cartoon featuring a crocodile playing the blues trumpet ever be anything less than amazing? 😁

Krokodil and Charlotte La Bouff are easily my top two favorite Disney characters 😁
They deserve more screen time... honestly, I’d love to see Lottie take center stage in her own movie one day

I was scrolling through some reviews on IMDb, and people were arguing that the movie is racist because the first Black princess ends up turned into a frog for more than half the runtime

Oh man, honestly, it feels like everything Americans touch turns into some kind of racial controversy... 🙄
I mean, The Princess and the Frog features one of the most stunningly designed characters in all of Disney's animation history... though, if I'm being totally honest, she’s only second to Ariel in my book... you know, the whole seashell aesthetic and everything... 😍
