For us twenty-something females the Disney which simultaneously made our childhoods, but ruined the rest of our lives is back. YEY. "The Princess and the Frog" really is up there with "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid" - it doesn't disappoint. The songs aren't quite up to scratch...(god only knows why they didn't get Alan Menken to do the music) but Randy Newton does a pretty good job. There are no instant classics like "Under the Sea" or "A Whole New World" but I will certainly be limewiring the soundtrack when I get a minute.

The animation is spectacular; and a refreshing change from Pixar. The firefly sequence was beautiful, and the thing that always strikes me about Disney 2D is their ability to give their characters the most beautiful eyes. Still makes me melt. There are also plenty of amazing sparkly dresses which will have you wishing that the Disney store stocked adult sized replicas.
The best thing about this film however is the humour. Louis the trumpet playing Alligator, Ray the firefly with an unfortunate love interest, and Prince Neveen as the frog all practically had me rolling about the floor with laughter. Hilarious.
Also....Aladdin has competition from Naveen for the hottest prince title... is that weird? Never mind.
It's a Disney renaissance, hurrah.
