Princess And The Frog Source

Yes, there is a new Source site! Maybe not the one you expected (don't worry, the english version of Spirit Source is still on its way)
Nonetheless, this is an important one.

Why is Princess & The Frog important?

The main reason is simple : this upcoming film is Disney's comeback to traditional animation!

Let's remember : in 2003, Disney closed down their 2D animation department, deciding to stop making more "line drawn" animated films like their past glories from the 90's : The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast... That decision was based mainly on the fact that CGI films earned more at the time than their films (Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, ...), which lead to the release of films like Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, The Wild. (which, you'll admit, are anything but amazing) And not only Disney, but all the major companies stopped producing theatrical 2D films, which meant no more quality films like Balto or All Dogs Go To Heaven!

In 2006, Disney bought Pixar, in an attempt to gain more of the CGI market. Consequently, Ed Catmull and John Lasseter became lead of the animation departement, and decided to revive the tradition of Disney's hand-drawn animated films. And this is their first result! 

In other words, if Princess & The Frog bombs at the box office, you can forget getting new 2D animated films for the next decade. We want to see more diversity, there is a place for all kinds of films (2D, CGI, stop motion) on the market! This is the film that will decide the fate of 2D animation, for the whole industry.

The film is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who previously worked on Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Hercules. This means it's also a return to the musical style of films, which is something you might like or not, but is part of the tradition of Disney films and has been missing since a long time. By the way, it's also the longest 2D animated film made by Disney : 1 hour and 40 minutes! And rest assured : considering the rave reviews the film has been getting, it's already a classic!

The Princess & The Frog is set for a wide release on December 11th, 2009 in the USA, in theaters only!

Nice, new source site... :) can't say I did not expect that one and I am happy to see it, I really hope that movie will be success. Because I miss that good old 2d animated movies style we had in 90s, I really hope they will make more. Awwww man, here it will arrive to cinemas 28.1.2010, more than month later than US... °x° can't wait to see it.

Wonderful! This is quite a leap of faith to say the least, but I have high hopes for this movie and hopefully after people see the movie they'll visit the new site! Well let's hope this works out for the best...in more ways than one.

I'm very pleased with the new release of Disney's classic 2D animation The Princess and the Frog, if you ask me it's about time they got back to the real art of Disney hand drawn animation and hand painted backgrounds. John Lasseter and Ed Catmull are two of my favorite Disney animators there work is nothing less of brilliance. The music in this film should be thrilling the returning composer Randy Newman who also did the music for many more Disney films such as Toy Story and The Little Rascals. The Princess and the Frog is sure to be one of Disneys most cherished and beloved classics.

I will view the movie with neutral apprehension. I have been waiting for a good old Disney cell animation movie for a long time, I hope that they handle this one properly.

Walt Disney was so awesome! There's something about Disney...it's not just a major movie corporation; it's a lifestyle :) I have loved pretty much every Disney movie I have ever seen, and Walt Disney World is like heaven haha
