In America, we all grew up by reading fairy tales and watching Disney movies. The new Walt Disney Movie, Princess and the Frog is a fairy tale story and a disney movie. Disney was able to combine music, dancing, and fairy tales into one feature film. Although movie critics have recently said that this movie is too repettitive, however I believe that this film is Disney's come back and a future nomination or winner of the Academy Awards. When you watch this movie, you will feel the nostalgia because this movie has excellent acting, music, dancing, story, and resolution. Walt Disney Pictures' new animated movie, The Princess and the Frog , has excellent resolution, world class music and dancing and acting.
For generations, people have enjoyed Disney movies because of their terrific music, choreography and acting. However as time went by, Disney started to have a slow decade in the beginining of the 21st century. I believe that the Princess and the Frog is the revival of the Walt Disney Pictures' mssion. This film incorporates Walt Disney's quote, "Keep Moving Foreward" by showing us that an young Africian American girl can grow up to be a princess. This movie seems like a fairy tale movie, however Disney was able to bring the fairy tale into a more modern setting in New Orleans. Princess Tianna loves to work for her goals and dreams because this belief was driven by her daddy. Her daddy tod her that a wish can only give you 50% of what you want and the rest is your job. Her goal was to have her own restaurant, however a tiny frog changed her life. This tiny frog is Prince Naveen and he helped save her. However, Prince Naveen was not my favorite character. I really like the old firefly and the alligator. They both had big dreams. Ironically, a little fly is small , but has big dreams to be with a star.
The songs sung by Anika were pure genius. Her voice is like the voice of an angel. When I listen to it, I know that Disney made a right choice in hiring her for the part. She can act, sing, and dnace. Her talents represent the true purpose of the Walt Disney Pictures' mission. Her songs reflect her own personality and Princess Tianna's personality.
When I watched this movie, I got a taste of New Orleans' culture, history, people, and traditions. I watched the Mardi Gras celebration like I was actually at the parade. Disney creators like to add a fourth element of research into the movies. In UP , the Pixar creators did research on the location because they feel that it be wrong to make up a place. Instead they want to entertain the viewers and teach them something about the location. We learned about New Orleans, Charles Dicken's writing styles, Japanese tsunamis, and the table top mountains of Peru this year. These movies may be funny and laughable, however I can look deeper into the movie and learn something. Walt Disney Pictures is teaching us that learning goes on forever.
