The Princess and the Frog - November 2009

This is only vaguely following the line of the original classic tale The Frog Prince about a black girl in New Orleans named Tiana ( voice by Anika Noni Rose) who is following her father's dream to own their own restaurant. He has passed away but she serves as a waitress struggling to save enough money to buy her building.

A prince Naveen (voice by Bruno Campos) comes to town and is turned into a frog by a evil voodoo priest. He wants to be human again of course and in exchange for him buying Tiana her restaurant she agrees to kiss him. It fails. She is turned into a frog too and they go hopping through the bayou to see the good voodoo priestess about turning them back into humans, and meeting friends along the way with both tears and laughs. Wonderful work, Walt Disney you did it again.
