I just watched Princess and the Frog again and I thought it was about time for another blog post
where I talk about just how much I love this movie.
I know quite a lot of people focus on the fact that Tiana
should have spent more time as a human instead of a frog, (it is true, she
should have) but if that’s the part that people focus in on then I think they’re
missing a lot of wonderful stuff. So I am going to share just some of the
reasons I love Princess and the Frog…
·
Princess
and the Frog is the rare Disney Princess movie that features female
friendship and shows it as being important. Tiana has clearly been friends with
Lottie for a long time and during the ball when Tiana gets knocked down Lottie
immediately helps her get back up.
·
"The only way to get what you want in this
world is through hard work." I love that line.
·
Naveen is not Tiana’s happy ending. I’m sure we
all know the problematic trend in Disney Princess movies of having a man be a
woman’s happy ending. However Princess
and the Frog avoided this trap, Naveen is a part of Tiana’s happy ending
but he is not all of her happy ending.
·
I love that Tiana’s goal is to open her own
restaurant and I love that she is willing to work hard to achieve that.
·
The music is fun. It’s a little different from
the more traditional Disney Princess songs but Princess and the Frog has a really upbeat soundtrack that I can listen
to repeatedly.
·
The animation is beautiful. I feel like Princess and the Frog deserves more appreciation
just for the fact that it is (at the moment) the last hand drawn 2D animated
Disney Princess movie. But not did it use the traditional animation style one
last time it used it really effectively in many very visually striking scenes.
