Critics Consensus

The warmth of traditional Disney animation makes this occasionally lightweight fairy-tale update a lively and captivating confection for the holidays.

The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color.

The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras.

The castle reopens its doors, this time supported by the strength of a narrative that understands that charm depends not on artifice, but on storytelling. [Full review in Spanish]

... lovingly designed, directed at a lively pace without tipping into excess, and filled with toe-tapping musical gumbo of jazz, zydeco, swing, blues and show-tune dynamism by Randy Newman ...

The Princess and the Frog represents a welcome return for Disney and a beacon of cartoon light that the company should aspire to with every new effort.

Although Princess and the Frog is the last animated feature from Disney that utilises 2-D animation, it was filled with both heart and soul from start to end. In addition to its colourful and vibrant animation, the Princess and the Frog truly succeeds in telling a very compelling story, a catchy soundtrack and excellent growth and development amongst Tiana and Naveen.

Com uma protagonista ambiciosa e sonhadora, personagens engraçados e um vilão marcante (Facilier), A Princesa e o Sapo é uma aventura da Disney que pode ser aproveitada por todas as idades.

I don’t get the overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s a decent movie, but not one I’d ever watch again.

It was great to see the hand drawn cartoon animation of Disney and it's greatest classic The princess and the frog I really hope they bring back the 2D animation for Disney

“The Princess and the Frog” is a soulful swirl of jazz, gumbo, and dreams, set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans. It reimagines the classic fairy tale with a modern heroine—Tiana—whose grit and heart make her one of Disney’s most grounded and inspiring leads. The hand-drawn animation is lush and nostalgic, and the soundtrack pulses with energy and emotion. But what truly sets it apart is its sentimentality: the film doesn’t just chase dreams, it honors the people and memories that shape them. From firefly Ray’s love for Evangeline to Tiana’s bond with her late father, it’s a story that glows with warmth and sincerity. A little magic, a lot of heart—and a reminder that sometimes, the detour is the real journey.
