Mini Reviews - The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog

From the creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin" comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.


A solid and enjoyable return to the classic traditional Disney fairy-tales that everyone including me have grown up on. Cleverly, the story was done with maturity and modern styles without losing the edginess. Though the songs and music numbers, fused with jazz and Southern, were wonderful to listen to, but not entirely memorable such as the past musical numbers. The main characters had good development and enough likability to follow the film, but the supporting characters managed to steal the show like Louis the alligator and the villain Dr. Facilier. People may be worried about the race card that it may be played too heavily on the film especially with having a black princess, but there is nothing to worry about. You're never too old to see a good ol' fashioned Disney film.

4 out of 5 stars
