Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog” toys and movie trailer

The following froggy couple made by Mattel are characters from Disney’s latest 2-D animation movie - “The Princess and the Frog”.  The story is adapted from the famous fairy tale of the same name, but its time stream has been fast forwarded to the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans, USA. 

In this American version, the “princess” gets transformed into a frog as well after kissing the “frog prince”!  Then they both must embark on a journey to transform themselves back into humans again.  Along the way, there are the trademark Disney style song and dance scenes.  The movie release date in Singapore is on 10 December 2009.

Yes!  Disney has finally reverted to producing movies in the traditonal 2-D animation style, which I much prefer to the 3-D ones of recent years.  Of course the plot and flow of the 2-D movies also matter, to make it nice to watch, like those released in the 1990s (Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Tarzan etc).  I’ll reserve my comments about the movie after I have watched it.  Meanwhile, here’s the featurette with more details and info about filming this latest Disney 2-D movie.
