This movie is the Little Mermaid all over again. Back in '89 when Mermaid came out it was heavily criticized because it wasn't like all of Disney's older animated fairy tales. It also didn't due amazing in the box office either. Yet here we are 20 years later and Mermaid is scheduled for a 3D re release and a diamond edition. i expect Princess and the Frog to be getting the attention and praise it deserves in the future.
When they first announced that Princess and the Frog was to be traditional animation with musical numbers, I think at least 16 years was shed from my age when I actually felt excited for a new Disney movie which is something that hasn't happened in a really really long time. Thank you Disney for bringing back something precious!
I just got back from New Orleans (or N'awlins) and this film plays every single style down there! From Cajun to Dixie and from Jazz to Gospel, this movie has it all! Not to mention the beignets! They are the best dessert in the world and Tiana serves them at Lottie's Masquerade!! Love this movie!
I LOVE this song. I don't care that this finale one is short i LOVE Anika Noni Rose's voice. this song reminds me soooo much of Disney!!! I LOVE how the song has that new fresh jazzy edge that makes it unique to the Disney genre songs, but it also has that part where she goes 'Dreams do come true' and it sounds so Disney I just LOVE it!!!! ... ok ill stop going on and on about it now ...
lol did anyone else think that charlotte was such a cougar at this part in the movie "how old are you?" "six and a half" "well i waited this long" hahaha XD
Nobody please bash Tangled. I know the critics were idiots when it came to Princess and the Frog (this is obviously a great movie) but that doesn't mean Tangled is less great. They're both really good movies - great refreshing takes on famous fairytales.
I love this movie and this song so much, I like how powerfully Anika Noni Rose sings it. <3
Sorry to bring my love of football into this, but I love the fact this movie (and song) came out a few months before the Saints went to - and won - the Super Bowl for the first time.
Just goes to show you - Dreams do come true in New Orleans. :D
I love that "Dreams. Do. Come. True" bit. Send tiny shivers all down. Great Great Great film. Shame that Tangled (what kind of awful name is that?!) does not (yet) seem to follow in this great film's footsteps
@MagicansForce This was when we only had a trailer. It's not been released here yet, but there have been many good reviews so I may have to retract that statement. That being said, asthetically PatF does, visually, look much better (and has a better title ;) )
@Davidaiow I'm going to have to disagree with you on the visual statement. Yes, the fact that it's been hand-drawn is excellent, but the "I Can See the Light" scene of Tangled blows most, if not all of PatF out of the water (no pun intended). The lights, the water, the city skyline. Even Repunzel's hair is a piece of art in and of itself!
@MagicansForce Haha I'm happy for you to disagree. Like I said, I've only seen the trailers since it's not been released here. In my original post I even stipulated 'yet' and I think it's unfair to criticise a predictive statement which was made before I've had the chance to view it an alter my opinion. Of course, even if I still disagreed, it would be disrespectful to attack that opinion ;)
The reviewer on BBC Film2011 said that that final scene was the best part at that without it, Tangled (just call it Repunzel!) would just be a mediocre film. They also said it was better than Princess and the Frog. I guess I'll have to wait and see. The Horse looks hilarious though.
@Davidaiow I didn't realize that you hadn't seen it yet. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Please take my comments as glowing reviews to the movie and go see it as soon as possible. It really is very magical, and a wonderful interpretation of the story.
imagine listening to this song... then turning on the tv and seeing sad news about the fifth anniversery of hurricane katrina.... one of the saddest things ever. i love this movie. one of disney's greatest... long live princess and the frog!
man, this is such a good movie. now they finally have someone in new orleans square at disneyland. and plus tiana sings @ disneyland while no other princess does. so cool of her ^ ^
wow the critics being harsh on this Disney masterpiece? The Characters are awesome, the music is awesome, graphics blew me away and dance moves are incredible. the plot is just...amazing. I can't even stop myself from watching the movie. Even Ne-yo's song just drives me to tears. this is a really great movie. I wish people didn't hate it from the start. (the prince was white, we have a black princess, changes and blah) they human beings like all of us right? we have the right to love anyone no?
@sisi0cat0chan The bs of someone who couldn't come up with a movie like this. The music in this Movie was FANTASIC! So I don't know what in the hell thoose critics were thinking about when they reviewed this.
i'm from shreveport louisiana and i've been to new orleans. the music in the movie wasn't made by disney. yes they wrote the songs but this type of music has been around for yrs. this song already exisited well before the movie they just jazzed it up a little more ^_^ i love the part of the movie when Ray (the firefly)saids "ya'll must be new around here" Naveen: "well we are from far far away from here my friend" Ray: "don't chu play, ya'll from shreveport!" lolz i loved that XD
People, please go to a theater and actually 'PAY' to see this movie. If this movie gains enough profit, Disney will have no choice but to start making more traditional 2D animated canons.
Thus, The Disney Renaissance 2 have a better chance of becoming reality.
yeah, most of the disney princess movies came from grimm brother stories, but the grimm brothers had grimmer endings. ariel turns to foam and dies instead of marrying eric, etc
lol yeah and snow white choked on her apple and was in a coma instead of her biting it and falling asleep XD! no spells! The prince wanted to keep her body as a display in his room XD lol!! the grims are so weird haha!
They took the princes and the frog (princess kisses frog, frog turn into a prince, happily ever after) give it a deeper plot, set it in new orleans, and gave it music.
It's a really good movie, too. Saw it yesterday with my girlfriend.
This movie would have been awesome just with the plot, but when I usually watch movies, I listen carefully for the music and this is the first that used jazz so AWESOMELY!!!!!! LOVED IT!!! MUST WATCH AGAIN!!
@tooncrazy101, to be fair, this is Disney. If you're expecting a realistic love story, look elsewhere. I mean, what was Arielle's rationale for falling for Prince Eric again? Snow White? Sleeping Beauty? I'm pretty sure the main draw was that *they were there.*
Technically, the princess and the frog had a more realistic love story, at least they spread some time with each other before falling in love. I mean in the Little mermaid, didn't she just fall in love with Prince Eric at first sight, without knowing who he was. He could have been a murderer or something.
@dsbs42 Very nicely worded, sir. Also, do we really watch Disney movies for the complex, intimate relationships? Nooooo, we watch them for the characters, the great animation, and of course catchy songs. As far as plot goes on this movie, its essentially a mishmash of 15 other Disney movies, set in New orleans. But that's okay, because its amazing just the same.
geez, how cynical. it's called "love at first sight". and plus, they're centuries-old fairy tales. Disney didn't write them to begin with, people like Hans Christen Anderson and the Grimm brothers did.
We (Lyle Henderson & the Pinnacle Gospel Choir) were at the screening yesterday. The film is soooo magical and they really got the accents, cuisine, culture and subcultures RIGHT. I applaud the research that they did to develop the script.
It's in booklet that comes within the cd, you can find the lyrics for all the songs there. The booklet of song lyrics is amazing, it has images from the movie in it. I find the artwork to be extremely creative and beautiful for this movie. For a person, that never got to see New Orleans in it's glory, I feel that the movie captures the beauty of New Orleans.
I'm so in love with this song it's everything to me <3
