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

... lovingly designed, directed at a lively pace without tipping into excess, and filled with toe-tapping musical gumbo of jazz, zydeco, swing, blues and show-tune dynamism by Randy Newman ...

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.

Probably the best movie I've ever seen. It not only shows the effect that Tiana's hardwork has on others, but we see the betterment on Naveen to become a hardworking person himself from someone who used to "hop from place to place". This overall shows how just Tiana's hard work can lead to people follow her from a lavish lifestyle with no meaning, to a hardworking one that truly has meaning.

A groundbreaking Southern animation musical ever with really great storytelling and loveable characters and Keith David sounds absolutely marvelous as The Shadowman yet there's some scary parts but it will make you laugh dance and try Southern food from New Orleans.

A great Disney movie filled with nostalgia animation. This movie is the only one that takes place in the US, the most modern set as it takes place during the Jazz era of New Orleans, and it has the first African American princess. All of this movie feels amazing from the songs and the characters. Also has one of the best messages to the people watching. Definitely one of my top three favorite Disney Princess movies along with Brave and Beauty and the Beast.
