Critics Consensus

The warmth of traditional Disney animation makes this occasionally lightweight fairy-tale update a lively and captivating confection for the holidays.

The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color.

The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras.

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

The Princess and the Frog represents a welcome return for Disney and a beacon of cartoon light that the company should aspire to with every new effort.

The narrative is largely dull and the representation ranges from overdue to problematic. While the film still has a charm, specifically in its visuals, the overall viewing experience is more average than anything else.

The Princess and the Frog is indeed good-not-great, as its considerable merits ... are weighed against a circuitous, unsatisfying plot.

This movie is pretty good, from it's 2D animation to its story to it's music and characters. It is a pretty fun time, but don't except to see Tiana in human form for a lot of the movie.

Hollywood is always learning the wrong lessons. Case in point, "The Princess and the Frog" underperformed at the box-office. The lesson that Disney took from this was: "Well, I guess people don't want to see 2D animated films anymore." I actually got the opportunity to ask the president of Disney Animation if he foresaw any 2D animated films in the company's future. He responded that, despite being a fan of that style, the company has no plans of going forward with that. That was back in 2012, and true to his word they have not made another traditionally animated feature. That is the wrong lesson to learn, because the animation for this film is beautiful. Some unfortunate timing and marketing helped spell this film's low return. In this same year we had "Secret of Kells", "Coraline", Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "Up", all some of the greatest animated films in their own right, tough competition to say the least. OK, enough of setting the context of the situation, how is the film. It's good. The animation, the music and voice acting are all really good. The characters of Dr. Faciler, (voiced excellently by Keith David) and Tiana are some of the all-time Disney greats. Tiana is a great example for young viewers. She has a strong work ethic and a positive attitude. Despite these strengths, she still goes on a character arc, leans a lesson and progresses through the adventure. And it could be that Dr. Faciler is the last great Disney villain for the last 15 years. The story is just uninspired. The setting of the swamp gets old pretty fast. The premise of our characters getting turned into animals, is one that I, and other audience members, have seen a dozen times too many. And the way circumstances play out is both overly convoluted and cliched. It is a step in the right direction for Disney animation, it is just a shame that it slips up a little on the way.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Icon, beautiful, masterpeice. I can't find a single flaw in this film. Frogs and voodoo magic by a skinny legend (that I would smash) need I say more. It is the last one it's kind and timeless. A watch for all ages.
