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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full 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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Miguel C @Miguel3110 Dec 2 Com uma protagonista ambiciosa e sonhadora, personagens engraçados e um vilão marcante (Facilier), A Princesa e o Sapo é uma aventura da Disney que pode ser aproveitada por todas as idades. See more CT 8 Nov 25 I don’t get the overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s a decent movie, but not one I’d ever watch again. See more the S. @theelijahstantonshow Nov 18 It was great to see the hand drawn cartoon animation of Disney and it's greatest classic The princess and the frog I really hope they bring back the 2D animation for Disney See more Zema K Oct 10 “The Princess and the Frog” is a soulful swirl of jazz, gumbo, and dreams, set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans. It reimagines the classic fairy tale with a modern heroine—Tiana—whose grit and heart make her one of Disney’s most grounded and inspiring leads. The hand-drawn animation is lush and nostalgic, and the soundtrack pulses with energy and emotion. But what truly sets it apart is its sentimentality: the film doesn’t just chase dreams, it honors the people and memories that shape them. From firefly Ray’s love for Evangeline to Tiana’s bond with her late father, it’s a story that glows with warmth and sincerity. A little magic, a lot of heart—and a reminder that sometimes, the detour is the real journey. See more Juju S Sep 14 La bande son est particulièrement entrainante et les personnages de Louis et Ray apportent la touche d'humour et de légèreté qui peut me manquer dans certains films Disney.
