The Princess and the Frog
While I am one of those who think drawn animation is dead and gone, there is something about Disney's
The Princess and the Frog that at least has me interested. I'm guessing it is the possibility of classic new songs and vibrant colors, as shown in the film's latest trailer.
The Princess and the Frog Trailer
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical The Princess and the Frog, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.
The Princess and the Frog marks the return to hand-drawn animation from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman.
That being said, it does look like Disney has no problem showing off how well the film is animated. What worries me is that they seem reluctant to sample much of the film's music. Make our own opinion by checkout the trailer in Quicktime at Yahoo! or watching it below (via TrailerAddict):
The Princess and the Frog opens to theaters on December 25th.
