The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 49th Disney animated feature film, the film is loosely based on the novel The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker, which is in turn based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Frog Prince”.
The film tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of owning her own restaurant. Her dreams take an unexpected turn when she kisses a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again. With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old who lives in a boat in a tree, Tiana embarks on a journey to turn the frog prince back into a human and fulfill her dreams.
The film stars the voices of Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Keith David, Michael-Leon Wooley, Jennifer Cody, Jim Cummings, Peter Bartlett, Jenifer Lewis, and Oprah Winfrey. The Princess and the Frog opened in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25, 2009, and went into wide release on December 11, 2009.
The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation, music, and characters. It was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Song (“Almost There”), and Best Original Score. It also won the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature.
The Princess and the Frog grossed million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2009 in the United States. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 16, 2010, and was met with positive sales. It was followed by a short film, The Princess and the Frog: Tiana and the Tiara, which was released in theaters with Tangled in 2010.
The Princess and the Frog was the first Disney animated feature film to star an African American princess. It was also the first traditionally animated Disney film since Home on the Range in 2004. The film was praised for its positive portrayal of African American characters and culture, and for its message of hard work and determination.
The Princess and the Frog was a critical and commercial success and is considered a modern Disney classic. It was followed by the 2011 video game, The Princess and the Frog: Tiana’s Cookbook, which was released for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms.
The Princess and the Frog is a wonderful example of Disney’s classic storytelling and animation. It is a heartwarming story of determination, hard work, and self-discovery that will leave viewers feeling inspired and uplifted. #
