    It's been a busy time for me, but I want to give a review. It may be helpful to somebody. Discover what really happened after the princess kissed the frog. Princess Tiana enters a world of talking frogs, singing alligators, and lovesick fireflies as she embarks on an incredible journey through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. Spurred on by a little bit of courage and a great big dream, these new friends come to realize what's truly important in life...love, family and friendship. The following is not on the case, but necessary. It was important for me to have this movie, as I am glad Disney has included all ethnicities to it princess collection. Oh yeah, and it's captioned.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Is Disney officially back [without Pixar's help]?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    It only took a couple of huge misses like Valiant and Pixar bringing in all the money and critical acclaim to get Disney back on the right track. That's not to say I'm one of those people who is anti-CG and thinks anything hand-drawn is good just because of how it's animated, but face it, Disney's own CG animated movies are best forgotten. And most of their 2D animated movies after Lilo and Stitch were a joke. I finally watched The Princess and the Frog tonight, after hearing my 3 year old daughter rave about it and how cool the Shadow Man is. And you know what? This IS a pretty damn good movie. To me, it seems like this could've come out in the early 90s along with Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Rescuers Down Under and fit right in. There really isn't much I can say as far as the negatives go with this movie aside from that I wanted it to be a little longer, and that I wish Shadow Man would've gotten more screen time.

    The story is pretty basic, but still fun. Tiana is a lower class girl trying to save up enough money to buy a building and turn it into a restaurant, which was a dream her father had. She's working two jobs as a waitress, and saves every cent she can, filling a bunch of coffee cans with tips. One day, Prince Naveen comes to town in search of a rich princess to marry since his parents cut him off, and it's either that or get a job. Tiana's friend Charlotte just happens to fit the bill, but before he can do anything, he takes a chance at getting rich an easier way thanks to the sinister Shadow Man. Long story short, Naveen turns into a frog and Tiana turns into a frog as well when she tries to turn him back with a kiss just like the old fairy tale. The two set off to find a way to turn human again before it's permanent, and before someone else marries Charlotte.

    I really did love everything about this movie. Most of the songs are memorable, especially Almost There and Friends on the Other Side. Though if you think about it, the animation during the latter is an awful lot like the Genie's song in Aladdin- A Friend Like Me. Regardless, the Shadow Man is one of the coolest Disney villains, animated or live action, to appear in a long time. He's kind of a cross between Ursula and Jafar, and the fact that he uses his shadow to control other people via their shadows is just plain rad. I was just disappointed that he got little screen time compared to other Disney greats like Scar, Ursula, Jafar and even lesser ones like Clayton. The animation, while it did have a lot of CG bits here and there (magazine covers and cards stood out like a sore thumb), was beautiful, and the character designs are a lot like those in the early/mid 90s, before Disney started to get weird like they did with Mulan and Hercules. The cast of characters is great, and characters I thought were just going to be comic relief ended up having some truly heart warming moments. What can I say? This is a great movie, and anyone who had doubts about Disney's future needs to check it out.

    Both the audio and picture quality on the blu-ray are perfect. 'not much else needs to be said here. As for the extras, well, go look at the list of them, 'cause there's a lot and I don't have enough room to talk about them all. But each extra covers nearly every aspect of making the film, though most of them are a bit on the short side. It's good to see that a newer film like this is getting the same treatment as the Platinum and Diamond editions of Snow White and others. If a special edition of this comes out in a few years, I really have no idea what extras they can throw in aside from a retrospective or something. And hey, you're also getting the dvd and digital copy here too, so you can keep the blu-ray at home to enjoy on a nice tv/sound system, bring the dvd in the car for trips, and have an extra copy on your computer or portable media player. This is a great deal.

    Do yourself a favor and get this movie, if not for your kids, for yourself if you're a fan of animation and good jazz music. I've seen a lot of reviews talking about how kids were scared by the Shadow Man, but really, it depends on what your kids like. My daughter loves 'scary' things like the Nightmare Before Christmas, Skelanimals and Dia de los Muertos style art, and she's only 3. Needless to say, when another kid would say that he's scary when watching the movie with her, she'd go "no, he's cool!". But aside from that, there's not much here that should be questionable for anyone. Thanks for making this movie Disney, now keep up the good work with the next few and we'll see if you can get back on the road to greatness that you once were.

    It's a well-known term that you have to miss something to really appreciate what it means to you. That's also the case with hand drawn animation from Disney. Between the years of absence of a hand drawn flick (2004 to 2009), I re-discovered and re-appreciated Disney classic hand drawn features again. While 2007's "Enchanted" had some animated parts (which were wonderfully animated), it was a sign of relief when I heard about Disney planning to make a full-length hand drawn feature again. And hardcore Disney fans have no reason to worry; "The Princess and the Frog" is definitively worth a watch and it's more compelling than Disney's recent hand drawn features, which were "Brother Bear" and "Home on the Range" (in spite of enjoying the latter movie a lot)

    This movie may not be one of Disney's very best features, but it's still a watchable and enjoyable feature which is worth to recommend to every Disney fan. Just don't expect a sweeping, grand adventure - this is after all John Musker and Ron Clements', which were behind "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin" and "Hercules", work. If you're going in for a lighthearted, fun adventure, then you'll be certainly pleased.

    "The Princess and the Frog" does certainly have the feel of a Classic Disney Movie (at least those from the 90's), although the segments on the Bayou does bring back memories to a Don Bluth movie as well, without that being a disadvantage. Although the beginning is a little slow, the screenplay is mostly quite solid, bringing humor, adventure, romance and emotion into a cohesive unit. Since this after all a Disney movie, there ought to be a moral and a nice one as well, although you would wonder how a Disney could possibly work without a moral.

    The characters are quite passable and the directors have made them appealing to the youngsters, but they've also made Prince Naveen the strongest Disney male in a long time and Facilier one of the most charismatic villains ever. Although the supporting characters may not be the most memorable ones in Disney history, they still appear as acceptable and evocative. They share great chemistry together, especially the two lovebirds.

    With the exception of some badly drawn townspeople, the animation is top-notch, both scenery and character design. As other Disney fans, I worried about Randy Newman's music, since I've never found his work for Pixar particularly noteworthy or memorable. But fortunately that isn't the case by "The Princess and the Frog", the songs are listenable and fun and flow nicely with the movie.

    BONUS FEATURES

    This review is based on the Combo Pack Edition, which is definitively recommendable for fans who want the film on both blu ray and DVD - and an extra disc with a digital copy. But for those who want to check out more special features, should definitively go with the Blu ray edition, since most of the extras lie there.

    Both the DVD and the blu ray edition include an Audio Commentary by directors John Musker and Ron Clemens, along with producer Peter Del Vecho. The trio provides an informative and listenable commentary, full with details of the production, story and character insights and animation. Not the very best Audio Commentary I've heard in my life, but neither far from the worst and it's the most recommendable of the features on the whole Combo Pack Edition.

    Next up are a few deleted scenes, the music video from Ne-Yo's "Never Knew I Needed" (which by the way doesn't includes clips from the movie) and a game called "What Do You See: Princess Portraits", which is fun on its own merits, but nothing memorable.
    On the blu ray is where the most interesting stuff lies. Or is it? Well, at lest you can play the movie in two versions; one regular one and the other with "Work in Progress". The latter is quite interesting, if you're a hardcore fan of the movie.

    "Bringing Life to Animation" is some life-footage references of two of the scenes in the movie; The Proposal and the musical sequence "Dig A Little Deeper", along with the director's commentary. It's quite informative and interesting to look at.

    Next up is "Magic in the Bayou: The Making of a Princess" (22:11), which looks at the production as a whole. Although some parts of the production are interesting, the whole featurette comes off as a mild disappointment. Not that it's a bad featurette, but compared to other "Making of"-featurettes from Disney DVD's, "Making of a Princess" feels rather slight in many ways and could've been more informative in some parts.

    The other featurettes comes off as bigger disappointments, since the blu ray includes several videos that have already been released on the Internet. Some of them are a little informative, while others are pure promotional. But still, they've already been released on the Internet and in this new YouTube-era, those featurettes would be easy to find on YouTube and just exists as to refill the blu ray-edition. With a heavily promoted and successful movie (although it took a while for it cross 100 $), couldn't Disney have made more interesting featurettes?

    OVERALL REVIEW
    "The Princess and the Frog" proves that Disney is still capable of making enchanting and captivating features. Although this isn't Disney's very best film, it's still a entertaining and heartfelt movie for families to enjoy. Although both the DVD and blu ray edition are surprisingly light on bonus material, I still give the Combo Pack Edition four of five stars, mostly because of the movie itself.
    Now my only wish is that Disney will continue making good-quality hand drawn animation again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastischer Zeichentrick- ein Märchen von heute: realitätsnah und tiefgründig
    Reviewed in Germany on November 24, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Nachdem ich lange von der deutschen Vorschau zum Film abgeschreckt wurde, konnte ich meine (vorverurteilende) Meinung zu diesen Film - zum Glück- ändern, als ich ihn- von meiner Tochter(damals fast 3) "gezwungenermaßen"- aus der Bücherhalle ausleihen musste. Aus Hoffnung, damit etwas für ihr englisches Sprachverständis zu tun, sehen wir solche Filme nämlich meistens- wenn vorhanden- in Englisch. Wir beide waren nach dem Sehen des Filmes begeistert, und sie wollte ihn immer und immer wieder sehen- inzwischen ist er auch gekauft. Was mich bei der Werbung abgeschreckt hat, waren die miserablen und unpassenden Stimmen. Wenn man den Film dann im Original kennt und dann auf Deutsch sieht, merkt man, dass die, im Falle der Hauptpersonen, Tiana und Naveen, fehlbesetzte Synchronisation, so ziemlich den gesamten Film versaut- 5 Sterne daher für das Original.

    Warnung: Im Laufe der Rezension "verrate" ich einiges aus dem Film, wer das (noch-)nicht wissen will, BITTE NICHT MEHR WEITERLESEN.

    "The Princess and the Frog", wie der Originaltitel lautet, begeistert mich aus folgenden Gründen:
    -Walt Disney hat sich weiterentwickelt, und muss seine "Märchen" nicht mehr zwangsläufig einige Jahrhunderte zurückliegend spielen lassen- dass das funktioniert, und zwar grandios, dafür ist dieser Film ein Beweis. Alte Klassiker wie Dornröschen, Pocahontas, Die Schöne und das Biest, Schneewitchen, um nur einige zu nennen, verlieren ja dadurch nicht an Wert, im Gegenteil, es ist eine Bereicherung, nun von Disney auch ein Märchen in der heutigen Zeit zu haben

    -Das Märchen "Der Froschkönig" wurde nur als Inspiration benutzt, wie man auch Parallellen zu "Aschenputtel", ziehen kann. Disney hat einen EIGENEN Film gemacht, ohne ein weiteres Märchen nur zu "verfilmen" - ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt. Filmische Umsetzungen traditioneller Märchen gibt es genug, und aus dem Hause Disney wäre das -inzwischen- einfallslos

    -Zum ersten Mal -und und fast schon überfällig -ist eine Disney-"Prinzessin" eine Schwarze- wie auch die meisten anderen in "Küss den Frosch". Der Film greift "echte" Thematiken New Orleans auf- eine Stadt mit wenigen Reichen und vielen- meist vor allem Schwarzen- Armen. Auch kennen dort alle "Vodoo", und sowohl die gute weise Hexe "Mama Odie", die das Weiße, "gute" Vodoo praktiziert, als auch der gefürchtete "Schattenmann", der dass Schwarze, "böse" Vodoo ausübt, sind wichtige Schlüsselpersonen im Film

    -Die Songs sind nicht wie in manch anderem Disney-Filmen nervig, im Gegenteil, sie machen Spaß- endlich mal kein seichtes (pop-mäßiges) Trällern, sondern (manchmal auch poppiges) Jazz mit Substanz (für einen Disney-Kinderfilm zumindest).

    - Die Hauptperson ist endlich mal keine "Prinzessin", im Gegenteil, sie ist eine sehr realitätsnahere "echte" junge Frau, die im Armenviertel aufgewachsen ist, deren Eltern hart arbeiten mussten um über die Runden zu kommen, die zwei Jobs nebeneinander hat, sich keinen Spaß im Leben gönnt, nur arbeitet, kaum zum schlafen kommt, und jeden Cent spart, um sich ihren Traum von einem eigenem Restaurant zu erfüllen- (etwas, dass ihr Vater vor seinem Tod nicht mehr geschafft hat)- trotz aller Belächelungen derer, die ihr sagen, dass sie es niemals schaffen werde
    -Ihr komplettes Gegenteil ist die extrem verwöhnte und vielleicht sogar etwas verzogene Weiße, Charlotte La Bouf, der es aber trotz aller Allüren nicht an Herz mangelt. Ssie bekommt von ihrem reichen Vater jeden Wunsch sofort erfüllt und schmeißt mit seinem Geld um sich. So will sie sich auch ihren Wunsch, eine echte Prinzessin zu sein, erfüllen, indem sie einen Prinz heiratet- ihr Auge hat sie auf den, zufällig gerade die Stadt besuchenden Prinz Naveen geworfen- und dank ihres Vaters Geldes kann sie ihn zum eigens ausgerichtetem Ball einladen
    -Prinz Naveen ist ebenfalls sehr realitätsnah. Er ist nicht der (sonst-typisch-Disney) tapfere Ritter auf dem Ross, der bereit ist, gegen einen Drachen zu kämpfen- nein im Gegenteil, das hört sich nach Arbeit an- und arbeiten musste Prinz Naveen seinen Lebtag noch nicht. Ihm wurde von den Dienern und Bediensteten jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen, alles wurde für ihn gemacht. Er ist somit ziemlich unselbstständig, und auf andere angewiesen, die alles für ihn tun, da er keine Ahnung hat, wie man irgendetwas selbst macht. Was Prinz Naveen gut kann, ist Feiern, das Leben genießen, und mit dem Geld seiner Eltern um sich werfen. Er liebt sein Leben so, seine Eltern aber sind nicht mehr begeistert. Sie bringen ihn in eine sehr unangenehme Lage, als sie ihm dem Zugang zum Geld abschneiden, um ihn endlich dazu bewegen, andere Richtungen einzuschlagen- das heißt für Naveen: Entweder arbeiten (Zitat OT: Eeewwwwww!) oder eine reiche Frau heiraten.

    - Der Film vermittelt vielerlei (für einen Kinderfilm sehr tiefgehende) Weisheiten: Wie mit dem Alligator Louis, der glaubt, um sich seinen Traum zu erfüllen, müsse er sich von Mama Odie in einen Menschen verwandeln lassen- Die alte Magiererin gibt ihm jedoch nur den (sich erfüllenden) Ratschlag, "dig a little deeper, you'll find everything you need", den sie zuvor auch Tiana und Naveen beidermaßen in einem Song gegeben hat. (Louis muss sich nicht verändern, um sich seinen Traum zu erfüllen, vor Publikum auf seiner Trompete zu spielen.) Sie ist es auch, die Naveen die Augen dafür öffnet: Sein ganzes Geld hat ihn nicht glücklich gemacht, um glücklich zu sein, muss er etwas anderes in sich finden- hier: seine Liebe für Tiana, die er vorher kategorisch aufgrund ihres Daseins als Kellnerin abgelehnt hat. Mama Odie zeigt den Unterschied auf, zwischen dem, was man WILL, und dem, was man BRAUCHT.
    Dass muss auch Tiana muss lernen- dass das Leben nicht nur aus Arbeit besteht, dass sie auch mal das Leben genießen kann und dass das kein Widerspruch zur Erfüllung ihres Traumes darstellt.
    Das Glühwümchen Ray betet "das schönste aller Glühwürmchen", seinen geliebten Abendstern "Evangeline" aus der Ferne an, und "weiß, dass sie eines Tages zusammensein werden"- wie es auch geschieht- nach seinem Tod taucht er als neuer Stern neben dem Abendstern am Himmel auf- somit hat Disney auch die zum Leben gehörende Thematik des Todes sehr gut umgesetzt
    - Tiana wiedersteht dem Angebot des bösen Schattenmannes, der ihr die Rückverwandlung zum Menschen, sowie die Erfüllung ihres Traumes von einem Restaurant bietet, im Austausch für seine"Macht", der Halskette, und Naveen, der vom Schattenmann für seine Machenschaften benutzt wird. Tiana ist in Versuchung, doch sie weiß, was wirklich zählt- Sie entscheidet sich für ein Leben als Frosch, indem sie das Angebot ablehnt und die Halskette- und damit auch die Kräfte- des Schattenmannes zerstört

    -Als Tiana und Naveen schließlich als Frösche heiraten, weil die Rückverwandlung in Menschen durch eine "echte" Prinzessin nicht mehr geklappt hat, verwandeln sie sich wundersamerweise doch zurück- die Lösung war so naheliegend- wie Mama Odie es ihnen gesagt hatte- Naveen müsse eine Prinzessin küssen, und sie würden sich wieder zurückverwandeln- denn mit der Heirat Naveens wird Tiana zur "echten" Prinzessin
    - Doch auch nachdem sie wieder Menschen sind, arbeitet Tiana, nun mit Naveen, für ihr Restaurant- nichts vom typischem Cinderella-Märchen, Frau heiratet reichen Prinzen und braucht nicht mehr arbeiten- sehr viel realitätsnaher und weiser in der Botschaft- ein weiterer Pluspunkt

    Fazit: Ein erfrischend "neu"er und tiefgründiger Disney-Film, der gottseiDank endlich wieder auf Zeichentrick zurückgegriffen hat. "The Princess and the Frog" hat definitiv das Zeug zu einem neuem "Klassiker"!!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars 2D comes back to Disney
    Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I'm glad that 2D is coming back to Disney, because as I said: I grew up with the 2D Classics and I'll always love them for years to come. I mean 3D's great and all, but it's artistically beautiful as 2D. I think the animation is beautifully done; the music is awesome. After seeing it, the film instantly became one of my favorite new millennium Disney animated features, along with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear and Home on The Range. The film retells the age-old "Frog Prince" story - with a slight twist.

    This story starts in New Orleans in the 1920s. A young lady named Tiana works two jobs...Yes she works two waitress jobs: one at night and one in the day. She works to earn money to own a restaurant, because it was her and departed dad's dream of owning their very own restaurant. One day, during her day-shift, her rich best friend Charlotte LeBouff is excited because Prince Naveen of Maldonia is coming to New Orleans, and is invited to her family estate for a masquerade party. Then Charlotte pays Tiana for catering at party. Excited by the amount of dollars Charlotte had given her, Tiana was sure she got money to the buy the old sugar mill to transform it into her dream restaurant.

    For the next part of the story, yes, Prince Naveen did arrive in New Orleans. But not just for an invite to a masquerade party, but to marry Charlotte LeBouff for her dad's fortune. You see, his royal parents cut him off for his spoiled, play-boy, jazzy lifestyle. While on the streets with his butler Lawrence, they come across a voodoo magician Dr. Facilier referred as "The Shadowman." Facilier invites the men into his emporium, and cuts a deal with the Voodoo gods for the special powers that will enable him to turn Naveen into a frog; use a voodoo talisman to fill Naveen's blood with to make Lawrence look like Naveen to marry Charlotte. But really, The Shadowman plans to murder Lawrence and LeBouff, seize the fortune for himself, and turn the city over to the evil Voodoo gods, who will feed on the souls of the citizens.

    Meanwhile while working at the LeBouff's grand masquerade party, Tiana learns that someone else put down a higher offer on the old sugar mill, and is now left with nothing unless she can top him after Mardi Gras - now that is just bull-s**t! Having given up hope, she desperately wishes on the evening star, when Naveen-the-frog appears. Thinking that she is a princess, for she is costumed as one, he convinces her to kiss him in order to break the curse and turn him back into a human again, but the spell backfires (because Tiana is not really a princess) and Tiana becomes a frog as well. And then, the two are chased out and head for the bayou, as Lawrence impersonates Naveen. But the talisman, filled with Naveen's blood, slowly starts to drain away. So Doctor Facilier sends out his shadows to retrieve the prince. In the bayou, Tiana and Naveen encounter Louis, an alligator who wants to become human so he can be a jazz musician and Ray, a Cajun firefly who is in love with the evening star (whom he has named Evangeline), which he thinks is another firefly. They take them to see Mama Odie, the good but eccentric voodoo priestess of the swamp. That's all I could tell you folks, you will have to see the film for yourself how it ends.

    This is Disney's best film! And I think Dr. Facilier should join other great Disney villains like Chernabog (Fantasia), Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) and Judge Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). To me the Dr. is like someone out of a story to scare kids into being good, like: "Don't stay up late, or the Shadowman will get you." "Eat your vegetables, or the Shadowman will get you." Or..."Come inside now! or I will tell the Shadowman." So my last word is that this film is awesome!
