First Five Minutes of Disney’s ‘The Princess and the Frog’

princess-the-frog_teaser-posterWell here you go folks, the first five minutes of the return to traditional animation by Disney. There is some unfinished animation, but this clip has really piqued my interest in the project. As much as I love the detail, and substantial look of CG animation, it has become wholly overused. I still remember being a kid and loving those Disney animated movies. Now hopefully another generation will experience that.

After being summoned back to the Mouse House by Pixar founder John Lasseter in 2006, Alladin and Treasure Planet directors Ron Clements and John Musker join forces once again for this traditionally animated 2-D fantasy for the entire family, set in New Orleans. Former Dreamgirl Anika Noni Rose will voice the lead character Tiana, Disney’s first African-American heroine in their long heritage of fairy tale animated features. Also in the voice cast is Keith David, lending his baritone chords to the film’s villain, Dr. Facilier. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    It scares me whenever Disney releases the first 5 or 10 minutes of a film, because that indicates that the film is no good and they’re doing whatever it takes to sell it. You can also bet that these 5 minutes are probobly going to be the best part in the film.

    It looks adorable, and I cannot wait to take my three girls to see it. We love Disney movies, Alladin being a favorite.
