Review – The Princess and the Frog

For the first time since Song of the South a Disney animation sports a black protagonist, though she’s transformed into a green protagonist shortly after the story gets underway. Frogification notwithstanding, at least the studio makes a good-faith effort to produce a picture with an uplifting message – success comes with both aspiration and effort – and some entertaining moments. I was particularly fond of the bad guy’s shadowy helpers, which I thought were just the right amount of scary for a kid’s movie. If you hate Disney movies then yeah, you’re gonna hate this. But if you accept it on its own terms, at least it’s willing to meet you halfway. Mildly amusing
