What's The Story
Tiana is a young woman dreaming of owning her own restaurant in Jazz Age New Orleans. One night she wishes upon a star, and a talking frog appears on her balcony, claiming to be a prince. If she will give him one kiss, says the frog, he will turn human again and she will be richly rewarded. Unfortunately, things do not go as planned, and Tiana discovers that it's not easy being green. The two hop into the bayou together to seek out an ancient priestess who may hold the key to de-frogging them both.
Three Good Reasons
- After originally planning to go entirely digital, Disney is back to making hand-drawn animated films, and they've brought the directors of "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid" to lead the way.
- Randy Newman, the composer who made people laugh and cry in the "Toy Story" films, has created some jazzy original tunes for this Broadway-style musical.
- The 1920s New Orleans setting lends itself to some true visual magic, complete with streetcars, murky swamps, gorgeous old mansions, and of course, quirky wildlife.
Bet You Didn't Know
If Prince Naveen reminds you strangely of the Jonas Brothers, it may be because animation supervisor Randy Haycock showed different sketches of the prince to his daughter and asked her to pick out the most handsome ones.
