Promoting its latest hand-drawing animation feature film, Walt Disney Pictures releases two brand new videos for "The Princess and the Frog". One is an extended clip, while the other is a featurette focusing on the story the movie will be presenting. Both video are clocking in at a similar length, which is around three minutes long each.
The extended clip, "Kiss the Frog", features the trouble Prince Naveen gets into when he tries to convince Tiana to help him break the frog curse by giving him one kiss. The featurette, on the other hand, puts three of the major characters, Naveen, Tiana and Doctor Facilier, under the spotlight as voice actors, Bruno Campos, Anika Noni Rose and Keith David, explain the relation of the three.
Set in the great city of New Orleans, this Disney feature film sees free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia turned into a frog by a shady voodoo doctor. In his desperate attempt to be human again, he asks a kiss from a young African-American girl named Tiana. But, instead of finding himself becoming a human again, he learns that Tiana has also been turned into a frog. Now, the two have to team up to find the source of the curse.
Marking the return to hand-drawn animation from director duo, John Musker and Ron Clements, "The Princess and the Frog" features music from Oscar-winning composer Randy Newman and the voice of Oprah Winfrey and many others. This 2-D animation will get a limited release in New York and Los Angeles starting on November 25, before going wide in theaters across the U.S. on December 11.

@Anna: 2-d Animated movies don't take a year to complete. So it's quite obvious that Disney didn't come up with the idea of making a movie with a black princess only right when Obama became president. It takes 3+ years to create a movie like this one. I personally think it's great that Disney is finally making a movie with an African American Princess. All I'm wondering is why people keep pulling the "racist" card on Disney, even after they make a movie with a character of another race. If Disney hadn't done this, people would still be complaining. Eh, I guess you can't please everyone.
I can't wait for this movie!! The trailers look awesome. : D
In response to Anna, there is no need to talk about racism. Everybody flaunts the word racist around like it's some kind of puppet. Well to be clear racism is discriminating/ hating/ severly disliking or mistreating of another race. If Disney were racist as you so well put it, then they'd be insulting african americans, calling them n-words, and not making a movie with one in them. People really shouldn't just label someone as racist. Think about the actual definiton of the word first. And the reason Disney didn't make this movie several years ago is because their animation department, save Pixar, was in shambles. After the box office bombs of this early millenium ( Treasure Planet which was actually great, and Home on the Range ) Disney wanted to step away from animation and 2D things. Now however, after the good success of Bolt under the helpful guidance of John Lasseter, Disney may return to their original and classic roots. I think it would be a shame if you didn't take your children to see this movie either. The animation looks breathtaking and it seems quite unique. I believe it will be the return of the excellent animation that Walt Disney intended for his company back in the 1930s. The Princess and the Frog will be spectacular, without question. A 500 million - 700 million dollar gross for this masterpiece.
I am just curious. Disney has never had an African American girl before or even thought about it?(She is not really a princess but a servant girl- right?) Did they only decide to do this because Obama is now the President of the United States? This just seems so racist to me. I am a white American and I am not a racist in any way, but why did they wait until Obama beceme President? Why not years ago. Also why is the poor girl in the movie-not a princess-but actually a house girl or servant to begin with?? Isn't that kind of racist on Disneys' part also? I find the whole thing confusing. I won't let my children go see this. I just feel that it's giving off the wrong impression to our children. I am still not sure what Disneys' goal is by this movie? Maybe someone out there can explain their stupidity to me?
