Because of my love of Disney, I went to the theatre to watch The Princess and the Frog. I was not exactly sure what to expect, but I was certain that it would be entertaining. I was looking forward to the return of songs, the more traditional appearance and hopefully a great film. In order to review this film though, I am forced to give away some spoilers, so I am giving the grade before the jump in case you plan on seeing it and would like to be surprised.So, the animation of The Princess and the Frog was phenomenal. At one point, the more realistic imagery gave way to a sort of vintage poster cartoon look that was creative and still flowed with the rest of the film. The songs were fun and well-composed. I especially enjoyed the music, which is good considering this takes place in New Orleans. The storyline is solid. It keeps you entertained and pulls at various emotions. You will feel angry, sad, happy, scared—it's really well executed in that sense. Kids and adults will enjoy The Princess and the Frog and can probably expect to add it to their movie library when it comes out on DVD some time next year.
Grade: A-
