Yeah, for a long time we have not seen Disney hand-drawn cartoons. And so, on the first day of 2010, “The Princess and the Frog, a cartoon from the creators of “The Little Mermaid and “Aladdin, appeared on the big screens. It was painted by hand, it was not shown in the newfangled 3D format, and this, probably, caused a great stir. Everyone – from small to large – was in a hurry to take places in movie theaters. So I watched this cartoon at home, which did not spoil the impression, because “The Princess and the Frog is a real masterpiece of world animation.
Plot: The evil sorcerer Shadow Man turned the prince into a frog. If you believe the fairy tale, then only a kiss of the princess can return to his previous appearance. But the bewitched handsome man is kissed by the dark-skinned waitress Tiana and also turns into … a frog. The prince and Tiana fall into the swamp, where they have to make friends with a crocodile, escape from the servants of the Shadow Man and find their happiness … In the “Princess and the Frog” everything was mixed – love and friendship, magic and exciting adventures. This makes him look like a real classic Walt Disney studio. Cartoons shot at this studio teach us goodness and loyalty. Humor is also present, and not flat. Memorable songs (and “The Princess and the Frog – the musical) give the cartoon brightness and unforgettableness.
Characters: Their characters are individual, each of them is good in its own way. This time many Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel have already fallen in love with the company Tiana – this time the person is not of royal blood, but no less extraordinary. She loves to achieve her own, courageous and decisive. A prince who realized in time that he needed to live not only for his pleasure. A funny and funny alligator Louis who loves to sing and dreams of playing in a jazz band. Romantic firefly Ray with a lisping voice. A charismatic, but angry and greedy Shadow Man, somewhat similar to Michael Jackson … To continue this list of bright and dissimilar characters to each other is endless. They remembered me for their originality and sincerity.
The atmosphere is just fabulous! Night views of the swamp are drawn very beautifully, which is why the flights of fireflies and their enchanting performances cost. Graphics – as in the good old Disney masterpieces. The faces of the cartoon characters accurately reflect their character, the details are drawn perfectly. Everything reminds of the magical world of Disney.
Bottom line: Another fifteen years will pass, and “The Princess and the Frog will become the same ageless Disney classic, like many of the studio’s hand-drawn cartoons.
