Reviews for The Princess and the Frog
• The Princess and the Frog is a movie dedicated to having your beignet and eating it, too. It is a timeless story, yet has a modern spirit when necessary.
11/25/09
By all means check out The Princess and the Frog… if only to support future, and hopefully more engaging, adventures in hand-drawn, 2-D animation.
11/25/09
The Princess and the Frog carries a lot on its shoulders, but--the odd stumble notwithstanding--thrives admirably under the weight.
11/25/09
It's not easy being green. But to judge from how this hand-drawn movie addresses, or rather strenuously avoids, race, it is a lot more difficult to be black.
11/25/09
Top CriticFirst African-American Disney princess is a good role model.
11/25/09
Pure holiday entertainment, a wonderful, toe-tapping musical gift everyone is likely to love.
11/25/09
Disney Animation is back doing what it does best -- musical romantic adventure with magic -- after 10 years of unfortunate forays into barnyard humor and science fiction (see the same directors’ Treasure Planet or, better yet, don’t.)
11/25/09
The movie as a whole never approaches the wit, cleverness, and storytelling brio of the studio's early-1990s animation renaissance.
11/25/09
It's the socio-cultural suggestions of this storytelling choice that's ultimately most troublesome.
11/25/09
It’s gaily colored, handmade art, with a straight stylistic link to old Baby-Boom offerings of the ’50s and ’60s.
11/25/09
A headlong story to go with its brilliantly imaginative and fanciful visuals and bright, upbeat score by Randy Newman, who covers a lot of ground.
11/25/09
Funny, inspiring and gorgeously rendered, The Princess and the Frog is an instant classic.
11/25/09
Eye-candy–wise, the film plants a big wet smooch; everything else about this happily-ever-after tale, however, feels like a mere air-kiss.
11/25/09
You'll walk away in a good mood, happy to see Disney back on track. But ... there's not much to remember in the morning.
11/24/09
The sweetest, most sincere romantic comedy to come along in ages, and a luminous love letter to a great American city.
11/24/09
The dialogue is fresh-prince clever, the themes are ageless, the rhythms are riotous and the return to a primal animation style is beautifully executed.
11/24/09
Top CriticWhere Pinocchio was about wishing on a star, The Princess and the Frog emphasizes backing up wishes with hard work. That proviso is a thoughtful message for young moviegoers.
11/24/09
Top CriticThis is the first Disney animated film about an African-American princess, and this delightful fairy tale couldn't come at a better time, what with the two little African-American princesses who live in the White House.
11/24/09
This is the best Disney animated film in years.
