why did Disney’s first African American “Princess” dream about cooking and cleaning up after for everybody, be a frog for 99% of the movie and not be shown as beautiful as all the other Disney Princesses? Even Cinderella was beautifully drawn when cleaning up, Why did Tiana have to be a frog , a hardworking frog, through out the whole movie, no sterotypes being broken here, not that it’s a big surprise

Not fun. Not lighthearted. Not Toy Story. Not Cars. Not Nemo. Not Incredibles. Not worth the price of admission even on a matinee! Not childlike!

i am going to throw away the dvd, i just feel like there is an evil attachment to it and feel very eerie about it. the real deception is that it’s packaged in such a cute show, very disarming yet so desperately wicked…parents, especially you with spiritual discernment, be warned it is not so innocent…

Is 21 and saw the movie with younger friends, was a little embarrassed but just adored growing up with the 2D styled of Disney animation. Being a young christian,loved the idea of a Voodoo artist being a villain and teaching the idea that being a Voodoo artist and following worshiping Satan is quite wrong, if you believe in it. It does have some scary moments in the movie, but what 2D movie didn’t ? In Pinocchio the main Villain throws a axe which flies past Pinocchio’s head and just barley ends up in the wood. In Hunchback of Notre Dame, the main character is tied up in ropes and is tortured. But think it’s because we were used to seeing something violent, these days 3D children movies are usually quite *cute* and careful and don’t show any violent or anything graphical at all. Where 2D Disney movies weren’t scared to add in a Drunk Elephant, or a mention towards Chip and Dale Strippers. Really, it’s a generation clash. [ Spoiler] About the Death, what about Mufasa from the Lion King ? Really that was much shocking considering you hear Simba’s loud horrifying scream as his Father falls to the ground, rather than the bug squashing. [spoiler end]Recommend training your children up and getting them used to the more violent themes of the older 2D movies, before seeing Princess and the Frog. Hire out the older 2D movies on DVD, so they can get used to what they wouldn’t see on Ice Age or Horton hears a Who. Just remembered Hercules slashing up the Hyrda’s heads, and Fantasia with the Axe chopping.. The older 2D Disney Movies WERE quite Violent, there is no denial in that.

I just wanted to point out that the movie does NOT depict voodoo as a bad and evil thing — after all, Mama Odie uses voodoo for GOOD.

I liked the heroine, Tiana, very much. However, my 5 year old son was terrified of the voodoo man and we left after an hour.

I agree there was some evil feeling about voodoo- there was even blood for that voodoo. Not even sleepy beauty show blood- dont care of it is 2009 it is Disney. rated G come on no blood please. I felt odd about the voodoo never before i had that feeling and I love scary movie but I think it was the color that made the voodoo seem more powerful-

I dont want to ruin your movie to tell you what ahppen but ouch – your kids might get scare!

I have to say – I saw it and I was very confuse because this was only princess that does not involve a fairy, music is ok but I mean where all the good song and I got only a few song, but I am a fan of Disney. Songs and music was alway da Bomb I felt like it was not well thought out.

I am a professional ballet dancer- some of the dance was very stereotyples OF AFRICAN AMERICAN.

Of course every princess involve a prince- well let say I was not sure if he was black or white.

Sadly it does involve the voodoo religion. A lot of it. Be ready to explain that.

Now my baby brother LOVE IT! He was singing but he kept saying gross everytime some girl kiss a guy so many too much kissing! I did agree too much affection in that movie. Tongue tie? Maybe the kids will miss it but us grown up know what that is.

if you pay attention- there a few racist issue still alive- be ready to see s few shocking things that Disney put in. Yes it was real where black people had to sit on the bus but do Disney need to add that?

I am deaf and hard of hearing and I tend to use my eyes a lot. Also I read caption – it will write everything they said.

There will be a few thing you will have to explain to your child in the movie.

So i did not love it but i like it. I understand the color picture and all but i felt there could be so much more than just basic line. I felt it could be so much more colorful. The should had asked Quincy Jones for help.

Oh well Hollywood did it thing. Not bad i rate it C-.

I didn’t think the voodoo was that bad. Have you ever seen any other Disney movies???? The villains often do some sort of witchcraft/sorcery. Its not uncommon in a Disney cartoon, especially a princess story. Personally I think Maleficent ( Sleeping Beauty) is wayyyyyy scarier then Facilier ( the voodoo guy).
