DisneyThe Princess and the Frog (The return of 2D)

[sdm42393]

To be honest, I'm more excited about Bolt (despite the fact Miley Cyrus is a VA). >_>

The premise looks promising, and it'll be interesting to see how this Disney movie will turn out. It's nice to see hand-drawn animation back (and hopefully there will be more movies of that sort in the future).

It's also nice to see the good ol' musical format getting back on its feet, because music (both songs and score) have always been an important part of the Disney experience. It's kind of unfortunate that Menken was replaced by Randy Newman, but I hope that Newman will deliver a soundtrack similar to Cats Don't Dance, because that has been his only decent soundtrack for animated films so far. However, I still keep wondering what Menken might've come up with if he had been allowed to score the movie.

I hope that political correctness doesn't affect the movie too much and that the changes they've made so far will not be repeated later on. Disney has a good team (voices, story and animation), so this might turn into a hit. I just hope that the whole thing won't crumble under all that pressure, but only time will tell what the result will be.

Sounds like they actually want just a really tanned white girl o.0

Hope there's no singing..

Actually no. I'm not interested in this movie really. I'm with Avarice. New Orleans doesn't do it for me. So they can ruin it if they want. So I hope Rapunzel is the one they don't ruin with doofy songs...

Sorry to disappoint you, but yes, it's going to be a musical like the classics. I can't wait!

I'm less than enthused about he New Orleans setting. I'm excited about a black princess, but I wish they would've gone with some traditional African fairytale or something, like they did when they made their Chinese princess (Mulan).

What really pisses me off about this movie, though, is all the crap Disney is getting for it. She stared out as a chamber maid named Maddy, but Disney was forced to change it because people bitched that apparently that job and name aren't good enough for a black person! Fine for all the white princesses (and one Chinese) that had that same posi<b></b>tion though. Some are bitching that her butt's too big, or her lips are too big. I thought those were good things?! I know I like 'em.

Just pisses me off that we finally get a black princess but you can't read or watch anything about this movie without someone popping up and complaining that it's racist.

Other than that I'm excited though. I hope they start cranking out 2-Ds again.

I agree, especially since, I like Maddy. MADDY IS A CUTE NAME! And it would of been perfectly befitting, since it takes place in the 1920s French Quarter (Maddy = Madiline). Even still, despite all the butthurt ultra PC stupidity, I still has mah high hopes. And YAY for Disney FINALLY having a black princess (or hell, a black protagonist period).

Despite everything, I'm still looking forward to this far more than any film in years.

Maddy is a cute as hell name! And it's very popular right now (Maddison). The protesters for that one insulted a lot of people. xD

[Roto13]

Randy Newman? I'm so there.

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm impressed with the visuals. It looks really cute and I can't believe people are getting all PC about this. I love New Orleans as a backdrop for the story so I'm actually stoked about this film.

If its as good as the Emperor's New Groove, I'm there!

I agree, especially since, I like Maddy. MADDY IS A CUTE NAME!

That name implies that she has matted hair and is a nappy headed ho.

Walt Disney might be rolling over in his grave right now, if he wasn't cremated. :huffy:

What I don't understand is that... well if you're going to have a black princess you'd want her to have black FEATURES. Last time I checked, black people had bigger lips, they PRIDE themselves on big butts and big hips. You seriously can't have it all ways, either have your black princess based off what black people look like, or make a white princess and color her black.

I don't think there were asians everywhere complaining about Mulan's tiny boobs, slanted eyes, and round face, if there were, I don't remember them.

Personally, the whole complaining is one thing that really killed my want to see this movie.

Also, my neice is named Madison, we call her Maddy. Yeah she's blonde hair, blue eyes and white as a ghost.

[Shlup]

Your niece is clearly low-class, Avarice, since Maddy is such a low-class name that it's very use is insulting to the entire black community*.

*And by "entire" I mean like five bitches.

YouTube - My RANT about Disney's "The Frog Princess" due out in 2009

Wow, it's almost pathetic that people care this much about a Disney movie.

Ooooh she gonna boycott it. Disney's shakin' in their boots about now.

Never mind the fact that Cinderella was practically a slave for most of the movie and had talking rats to keep her company, that Belle was a prisoner in the Beast's castle, the Snow White was stuck cleaning after seven smelly little homos, that Mulan was a social disaster who almost nobody could stand to be around for five minutes until she became a transvestite, if a black girl is anything short of a God, it's racist right? I hate people.
