The Frog Princess

*Raph's Girl* · 03-09-2007, 09:26 AM

Disney is set to release a movie entitled The Frog Princess, which introduces us to the first black Disney Princess...she's from New Orleans.

This is gonna be a hand drawn movie with Randy Newman doing the music....and there's a soul singing aligator involved (well duh...it's New Orleans).

Oh and Toy Story 3 will be out in 2010..

Singing aligators? That's weird,but toy story 3 is great news.

**Jo Dawn** · 03-09-2007, 10:04 AM

Hand drawn is excellent news.

Ok... now don't get me wrong... I'm all for whatever race princess you want... But a teeny part of me is afraid that Disney is doing this 'New Orleans-African American Princess' thing as a, like... marketing thing. I mean, to me, none of this matters... I just hope they're doing it for the right reasons.

Here's a pic of the Frog Princess who's name is Maddy.

All I can Say is:WOW!!!!
Thanks for the info raph's girl

Randy Newman, eh. We'll see what he does, but a lot of his stuff sounds the same to me.

But I've been watching the news on this for a while... very pleased that it will be traditionally animated. I too hope they don't overdo the "omg black Princess!" thing, but it has the potential to be really cool.

great they bring this out but yet they can't even bring the muppets frog prince movie on dvd.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-10-2007, 02:58 AM

I never thought I would see a hand drawn Disney movie again. This was like the greatest thing I had heard in a long time when I first found out about it. Seriously. Hand drawn animation is a timeless artform, and it needs to be preserved.

Wow, they are returning to the classical hand-drawn technique? I have never been so happy in my entire life!

It's good to see that Disney is giving the old traditional way of things a go again. I can't help but wonder what the story line is though. Judging by the title, I have a slight feeling that this has to deal with a "Frog" and a "Princess".

...

*thinks*

...

I'll get to the bottom of this eventually...

I could care less about the whole "black princess" thing. I mean, thats great and all, but I'm not going to see a Disney princess movie anytime soon.

But I am stoked to see Disney going back to Traditional style. It really warms my heart to see it back.

I think it's high time we saw a remake of Freddy: FR-07.

...Better Bond movie than Brosnan's s*it.

*DrSpengler* · 03-10-2007, 03:09 PM

I hope they don't pansy out and release this straight to video. I thought that Mickey/Donald/Goofy: Three Musketeers had all the qualities that would've worked perfect as a theatrical release but Disney decided "ZOMG ITS HAND DRAWN NO ONE WILL GO SEE IT!!11!" and released it straight to video.

Still, I'm wondering exactly how a woman living in New Orleans in what appears to be the 20's could possibly be a princess. Was she a princess back in Africa or something and just moved to New Orleans.

Anyhow, I'll have to see some trailers or something before I decide to go see a movie called the "Frog Princess" in theaters (though there's always the possibility my boss might make me go review it). Nevertheless, I am very pleased the Disney has gotten over that whole "hand drawn animation is dead" phase.

*Mecha Cow* · 03-10-2007, 04:03 PM

I think by 'princess' they just mean a female lead character.

Anyway, I lost my faith in Disney years ago, but it's nice to see they're back in the traditional animation business.
