Reviews for The Princess and the Frog
A pleasant but undistinguished addition to the Disney animated canon,...an agreeable throwback to a type of animation one doesn't see much of anymore.

Intentional or not, what kind of message does it send out that the studio's first African-American princess has to be relegated for the vast majority of screen time to the form of an amphibian?

You know how they say that cops come in only one color, blue? Well, Disney princesses come in only one color: pink.
12/07/09
This charming twist on the classic fairy tale follows the standard Disney outline splendidly, updating itself with self-referential cheekiness and its first African American heroine.
12/07/09
A start-to-finish delight.
12/07/09
Top CriticSpicy and heart-warming, sprinkled with Creole zing and dashes of Dixieland, gospel and zydeco.
12/06/09
For the most part, The Princess And The Frog is Disney business as usual, a little bland but very pretty, and calculated for maximum slick pleasantry. It’s exactly as though the 2-D department never left at all.
12/03/09
The Princess and the Frog is not offensive. This is a harmless, animated musical and as close to getting it socially right as Disney will ever get -- too bad it's about 40 years late.
12/01/09
"You can't just wish on a star," advises Tiana, and with that, Disney makes amends for three generations of mealy indoctrination.
11/30/09
While Disney seems to be trying to counter some of its pervasive princess ideology, The Princess and the Frog is still showing women who can't get by without men.
11/30/09
Disney's return to 2D animation, starring its first African-American lead, offers a flavorful gumbo of entertainment for holiday family audiences.
11/30/09
Its hypocrisy is hidden inside a disingenuous promotional campaign that suggests change has come to Disney’s animated white house.
11/29/09
A thoroughly fun, magical, thrilling and captivating adventure filled with stunning animation, a lively soundtrack, a big heart and plenty of laughs for everyone both young and old.
11/25/09
• The Princess and the Frog is a movie dedicated to having your beignet and eating it, too. It is a timeless story, yet has a modern spirit when necessary.
11/25/09
By all means check out The Princess and the Frog… if only to support future, and hopefully more engaging, adventures in hand-drawn, 2-D animation.
11/25/09
The Princess and the Frog carries a lot on its shoulders, but--the odd stumble notwithstanding--thrives admirably under the weight.
11/25/09
It's not easy being green. But to judge from how this hand-drawn movie addresses, or rather strenuously avoids, race, it is a lot more difficult to be black.
11/25/09
Top CriticFirst African-American Disney princess is a good role model.
11/25/09
Pure holiday entertainment, a wonderful, toe-tapping musical gift everyone is likely to love.
