Also, some crucial events relied on coincidence when they could've been worked into the plot more skillfully. I wish the directors would have slowed down and let us have a bit more interaction rather than relying on action and songs to advance plot. I personally think this is why the movie doesn't feel quite up to par with The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty or The Lion King – there are very few moments which rely on deeper truths or engage with characters' inner struggles and relationships. This leaves us very little time for dwelling in scene. There is an engaging plot, obstacles are overcome through action and songs also push the story forward. Too much happens and it happens too fast. Pacing and story are the main challenges The Princess and the Frog faces.
Their presence feels like designated intervals, sometimes jarring up moments which could have been executed wonderfully without any song. The downside to these songs is that they are many, short and have the task of pushing story. There are several songs in the movie, perhaps more than needed, but all catchy while bringing a yet another flavor to New Orleans. There is no one single style of music and Newman serves up a diverse platter accompanied by stunning animation. One of the strongest aspects of this musical is, of course, the music! Randy Newman has provided an array of songs, from bouncy piano songs to gospel to Broadway. Perhaps we can expect greater things for the future because this is a pretty good start. Disney Animation Studios has pulled it off again they have conjured up something fresh and new and have made it entertaining. The pair has great chemistry as frogs and their intertwining journey is full of laughs and heart tingling moments sprinkled with some good old Disney magic. He gets a fair amount of screen time and shows us that princes are more than just stuffy suits. And speaking of breaking from tradition, Prince Naveen is another fresh take on the classic Disney prince. She works hard, never taking a chance on Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet - she is a realist Disney 'princess' - and that makes her stand apart from the rest. Tiana is a young girl who wants to follow her father's dream and open up her very own restaurant. It's an updated take on the classic fairy tale, set in Jazzy New Orleans filled with witch doctors, Maldonian princes, southern lovesick daughters, Jazz playing alligators and even Cajun fireflies! In the midst of all this jazz is Disney's first black princess, Tiana, and her story.
However, unlike these previous movies, The Princess and the Frog does something new. It marks Walt Disney Animation Studio's return to 2D animation, to recapture the era of amazing movies like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast – timeless tales that have reached audiences across the world. The Princess and the Frog is one of the most highly anticipated films of the year.
