Last Week’s Must See Movie—Still a Must See This Week: The Princess and The Frog  

Posted by: Gwen Stewart in ,


Find a person who does not know this story. This is that story we all love with a twist. Honestly the first time I saw the trailer made me laugh and go down back memory lane. From Walt Disney comes a new rendition to the tale of a princess and a frog; in this one however the princess is a waitress named Tiana who kissed a desperate frog prince who just wants to be human again. The kiss gave the result anyone who had read or heard the original never expected—Tiana was turned into a frog instead.

It was set in time of the jazzy 1920s New Orleans, Louisiana; by the mystical bayous where the Tiana and the frog prince met. Background check on the characters reveals that Tiana was actually a waitress while Prince Naveen was an arrogant and carefree prince who was transformed into a frog by a voodoo magician. When Tiana kissed him (in his frog form both believing that it will break the spell) she was turned into a frog thus starting their journey to be turned back to humans.

Records search shows that this is Disney’s comeback to the hand drawn films we all love. The makers of Disney’s the Little Mermaid and Aladdin—the team has returned to make this a possibility. It’s a jazzy remake that receives good reviews and continues to raise itself in the movie charts. And why wouldn’t it be a big success? With award winning crew and a cast that rocks nothing can go wrong. And speaking of cast they have Anika Noni Rose, the third person of the Dreamgirls; plus there’s Oprah for her mother although she is named Eudora.

It’s a feel good film that gives us a rest from the digitalized versions we’ve been seeing lately. It’s definitely something worth seeing.
