With the level of detail shown in the conceptual artwork for Disney's The Princess and the Frog one would think that the studio was making a stylized CG-animation. No exaggeration, as some of this artwork looks like it could end up having more detail that the animation itself.
The world that the visual development team created is that of 1920's New Orleans. A lush, vibrant environment, with rich backgrounds and breathtaking scenery. The fresh, engaging look of the characters bring humor and warmth to this classic fairytale.

I have to hand it to Disney - this film is extraordinarily vibrant for the hand-drawn medium.
The Princess and the Frog opens to theaters on December 25th, 2009.
