When you grow up watching The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast you know one thing. Fairy tales ROCK! Disney has captured all the beauty of these tales in the past, but it has been a long time since they brought together a tale that make you feel seven years old again.
The Princess and the Frog is that tale. Just waiting for it to start make you excited. The best part of the tale is that Tiana was not a Princess to begin with. Like Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Tiana knows hard work. Unlike Belle her dreams are not on Prince Charming, but on fulfilling her father's dream. Disney has come a long way since it's traditional fairy tale days. Tiana's hard work for her dream is what little girls should be aiming for instead of a crown. Although the lessons learnt through the story bring everything full circle. It is great to see Disney return to it's traditional animated style. The characters where third dimensional, fun, and got the emotions flowing. The songs were great, love songs, and toe tappers, incorporating the jazz that New Orleans is so famous for. The Princess and the Frog is definatley what it promised to be and more.
As far as being a princess goes, it was never at the top of my list. It was great to see a character that believes in the same things I do, hard work and determination will get you what you want in life. On my soapbox I can rest safely because I know that my little cousins can watch this movie and get the message that hard work gets you where you need to be to take the oppurtunities that will help you reach your goals. Disney is back. That's the world from my Window
