the princess and the frog (2009)



The very first movie that i wanted to share is the princess and the frog. newest Disney 2D animation film. directed by Ron Clement and John Musker. which is also directors of The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and Treasure Planet. Story based on E.D Baker's novel the frog princess which was published on 2002. which was inspired by Grimm brother's fairy tale the frog prince.

According to my research on this film. the rating about it was quite good. And unlike most Disney princess film. the main heroine is not a real princess. Tiana was just an ordinary poor woman that was trying her best to fulfill her late father wish, to open a restaurant on a particular ideal building. The princess in this film is actually Tiana's childhood best friend Charlotte. Charlotte is the one that suppose to marry Prince Naveen of Maldonia. But then Prince Naveen was turned into a frog by the evil shadow voodoo master Dr. Facilier. So the servant that serve Prince Naveen, Lawrence, is the Prince Naveen that you all see appearing in Charlotte party. And for some incident that happen Prince Naveen meets Tiana and thinks that she is the princess and wanted her to kiss him. But after that kiss Tiana was turned into a frog as well. So the two of them escape from the party that Charlotte have and found out that there is another voodoo master that can help them turn into human. And so with some help of their newly made friends, the trumpet playing alligator Louis and the firefly Ray, the two frog travel to find this voodoo master which was located in the deepest place of the Louisiana's swamp lands. Along the journey the two of them slowly fall for each other. And both of them found out that life is more then just money and hard working. So the two of them fight back with the evil voodoo master Dr. Facilier. And of cause as Disney tradition. this story have a happy ending.

This movie for me is kind of like a not so classic classical Disney movie. They have include lots of singing and dancing which most of the Walt's Disney really love. but yet it was a refreshing kind of classic. Personally i like this princess movie a lot more then other princess movies. Probably is because this movie don't have much of those princess glossy sparkling thing all over it. And in this film the character that i love the most is non other then Charlotte. Although her part was really little. But I really love her hyperactive way of appearance. This is a film that worth watching it. Too bad i never get the chance to watch it in the cinema. But it still worth collecting if your a Disney fans. Let me end this with Charlotte beautiful picture with her voice actress.
