Disney Releases ‘The Princess and the Frog’ Theatrical Trailer
When the free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia (Bruno Campos) comes to town a deal with a shady voodoo doctor goes bad and the once suave royal is turned into a frog. In a desperate attempt to be human again, a favor in exchange for a fateful kiss on the lips from the beautiful girl, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), takes an unexpected turn and leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana to the banks of the almighty Mississippi and back in time for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. An unforgettable tale filled with music, humor and heart where two frogs—along with the help of a 200-year-old voodoo priestess, a love-sick Cajun firefly, and a trumpet-playing alligator—discover that what they want isn’t as important as what they need.
This will be the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics and the first 2D-animated film by Disney since 2004′s Home on the Range.
I am VERY MUCH excited for this movie. I love the 3-D CGI films, but something about this 2D film looks very beautiful and enticing! I’m by no means an animation historian. I like what I like. But maybe this film is stirring some nostalgia for classic Walt Disney animated movies?
I love that it’s set in New Orleans so we can get some swinging awesome jazz music on the soundtrack!
I’m looking forward to the December 11, 2009 premiere date!!
