From the creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin" comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG marks the return to hand-drawn animation from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman. --© Walt Disney

You'll walk away in a good mood, happy to see Disney back on track. But ... there's not much to remember in the morning.

The sweetest, most sincere romantic comedy to come along in ages, and a luminous love letter to a great American city.

The dialogue is fresh-prince clever, the themes are ageless, the rhythms are riotous and the return to a primal animation style is beautifully executed.

Where Pinocchio was about wishing on a star, The Princess and the Frog emphasizes backing up wishes with hard work. That proviso is a thoughtful message for young moviegoers.

This is the first Disney animated film about an African-American princess, and this delightful fairy tale couldn't come at a better time, what with the two little African-American princesses who live in the White House.

This long-anticipated throwback to a venerable house style never comes within kissing distance of the studio's former glory.

The first real addition to its princess lineup in 15 years, and the studio's biggest non-CG animated movie half a decade, it also belatedly brings racial diversity to a signature genre that's been mostly snow white for six decades.
