Why I watched this movie:

I watched this movie because my eldest sister is a huge Disney fan, especially the princess movies. I wanted to see it too. So we all decided to go see it the weekend it came out.

Likes:

I love the songs in this movie. They were catchy, cheerful (even the wicked ones sounded very upbeat), and wonderfully animated.I really enjoyed listening to them. The jazz music was a real hit too.
I think it was funny when Tiana and Prince Naveen were trying to catch a fly and they ended up in a ball with their tongues tied together. Haha!
I enjoyed watching Tiana on the screen. Her personality and her motivation were great! She was very beautiful too.
Ray (the firefly) was awesome! He was so funny (bad teeth and all) and very helpful.

Dislikes:

Charlotte was not a very well drawn character. Her face looked squished together and I think it was weird that she let Tiana and Prince Naveen get married when we know from the beginning that she was spoiled beyond belief and wanted to marry a prince.

Last minute thoughts: This was Disney's first African American princess movie and I thought it was great! I also think that they should make more hand drawn animated movies with music numbers. You can't go wrong with the classics!

Buy: The Princess and the Frog (Single Disc Widescreen)

Movie Rating: I give this movie 4 treasure chests!
