I just got back from The Princess and the Frog and I have to say, it's the best Post-Disney Renaissance movie by far. The movie's 2D animation is spectacular, the plot is unique and plays around with its Louisiana backdrop well, the songs are ALL immensely enjoyable, and the characters grew on me.

Dr. Facilier is a very nice villain and I liked every time he showed up on the screen. He was so pimp.

Tiana is a great addition to the Princess roster, being a beautiful, hard-working black woman who's actually pleasant for other people to be around.

Prince Naveen was a such a card and his interaction with Tiana is the wonderful backbone of the movie.

There is no man-bashing or anti-male tones (or anti-female) in the movie! Huzzah!

The movie even took a bold risk or two.

This was a great experience for me. I hope you see it, too.

Oh, and this is for people who've seen PATF:

All of the evil stuff reminded me a lot of Drag Me to Hell. :)

Okay, I'll add it to my (incredibly small) list of movies to see.

Ninja Assassin is pure suckage. Don't see it.

This movie (I just got back from it) is amazing.

This movie didn't have a bad song, period. I can't remember the last time I could say that authoritatively.

However, for maximum entertaining value, I would say this order:

Spoilered to prevent my bias from affecting y'all. ;)

1. Friends on the Other Side
2. Almost There
3. When We're Human
4. Ma Belle Evangeline
5. Gonna Take You There


and all the other songs are likely tied. It just shows how awesome they are.

I have to convey the sheer magnitude of wonderment this movie bestowed upon me:

I consider Tiana to be one of the finest black female characters ever.
