InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Jesper Brun I was thankful and and delighted when I saw that Disney finally had decided to go back to their roots of traditional hand-drawn animation after a couple of CGI efforts ranging from garbage to mediocre. Because this is what I see as Disney. I have a distinct preference for traditional animation, not that Disney later made brilliant movies in CGI, but I have always told myself that CGI was Pixar's territory. The Princess and the Frog goes back to the fairy-tale, the musical, the animation, everything is really well done and most certainly Disney. I had a blast watching it. The romance is the most real since Beauty And The Beast if you ask me. Tiana and Prince Naveen take their time developing their relationship which brings us the awkwardness of being in love, dealing with each other's flaws etc. That is great! Tiana is also the most progressive female lead in the Disney Princess catalog since Belle. The first African American princess with sky- high ambitions and hard work to back make her dreams come true! Great! I also liked the supporting characters. Charlotte was hilarious! Some may say annoying, but I found her really funny and a great contrast to Tiana. Dr. Facilier was a well made mystical voodoo man with the greatest villain song since Hunchback! That song is the easily Randy Newman's greatest creation. All characters are voiced beautifully. Ray (Jim Cummings) and Dr. Facilier (Keith David) are my favorites. After all this praise, which I think the movie deserves, I must add the general consensus about one central flaw in it. The story too complicated to be a true classic all the way through. I love the colourful animation, the characters, the music, the message and I can accept the complicated story, but that one thing keeps it away from a 10. But watch it! It has some incredible scenes that will make your jaw drop.

Hermione Granger I was excited about the movie before I watched it. We have a black princess, its 2D, and this is from the directors of Aladdin and The Little Mermaid! What could go wrong with it? Almost everything. No wonder this didn't get much attention. We have evil spirits, unmemorable songs, and the ONLY black princess being a frog for most of the movie. Plot: Tiana and Naveen were frogs for most of the movie, which really dragged it. The plot was super weird, and it could have done without Voodoo, which was creepy even in cartoon. It had kids screaming in theaters.Characters: I like Tiana (who is a fabulous singer and role model), Naveen at the end, and Dr. Facilier, but no one else. One of the characters died, but I didn't feel any attachment and wasn't sad to see him/her go.Music: I love, love, love the songs, "Almost There" and "Friends on the Other Side," but the rest isn't memorable. Fun, yes. Energetic, yes. Something that gets stuck in your head? Nope. They were actually written by the person who did Toy Story's songs.Animation: The hand-drawn cartoons were just gorgeous! It's in a beautiful style I can't describe. Humor: Spot-on! I was continuously laughing. Really, everything that was supposed to make me laugh made me laugh, except for the firefly Ray being in love with a star, which was just plain weird. Message: The lesson is good, but it's not strong or clear. It's "try harder to find what you really need."Acting and voices: The acting was good but some voices annoying. The old woman, Ray, and Charlotte's voices annoyed me, especially Charlotte's. She was high-pitched and squeaky, constantly bugging me.In the end, Tiana is a fabulous role model, character, and singer. We have gorgeous animation and a great lesson, even though the latter isn't very strong. However, the movie did not deserve to be rated G just because the Voodoo was in cartoon. Tiana isn't human for even half of the movie, but 33% (I actually calculated that). This is not worth watching again. I honestly would've liked it and wouldn't even have minded the songs being done by Randy Newman if Tiana had been a frog for a shorter amount of time and there hadn't been Voodoo.

datautisticgamer-74853 The Princess and The Frog marked a brief period in Disney history when the company returned to traditionally animating movies for theatrical releases, and they took almost full advantage of that here. The animation, as far out of place it would seem in 2009's whimsy of variety in animated films, is quite beautiful in plenty of spots. The story is a fun parody of the Grimm tale successor The Frog Princess set in New Orleans, which is pretty swag for an original concept. The characters and acting are all top-notch and are animated pristinely so that their movements seem natural yet still appealing. It does have some times when the humor isn't strong, some scenes get dull, and personally I didn't take Ray's death that hard. Besides that, this film is nothing less than one you must consider seeing, whether you have the home video or the necessary TV channels it occasionally airs on. I don't need to mention the songs because like any Disney musical, they try very hard and it just pays off. For what the music might lack, the scenery the songs are set in enhances the experience.

ericjcant-1 Visually this movie looks beautiful, but unfortunately it was a little boring, which is kind of odd for a Disney film. I can look past almost every other hangup I might have with a movie if I am genuinely entertained, but not boredom. Not to say that the entire movie was boring, but enough that I did notice it, and when you get to point in a movie where you don't really care what is going on, well... that pretty much ends it. After seeing it I knew I had no desire to ever see it again even though some aspects were quite good. I know that most Disney movies have their predictable elements, but this movie seemed so by- the-numbers that it never surprised me and never moved outside the box.
