and for the record, this film is NOT geared to children - it's a PG-13 at least, well, no, come to think of it - it's definately an 'R' cause well ... you just have to see it
Sorry for the Hijack. |

I absolutely loved it. It's definitely in my top 5 of the year at moment. This has been a great year for animation: this, Up, Ponyo, Monster vs. Aliens (I liked it), Coraline, Cloudy-Meatballs. Of course crap churns out too: 9, Ice Age 3, Christmas Carol,

This is going to sound odd, but the first 20 minutes of Up were better than all of Princess, but as a whole Princess is a far better film from beginning to end.
That does sound "odd!" :D |

9 and Ice Age were fun. Not on the level of an Up or Princess, but they were good.

I liked it a lot, some of the humor definitely reminded me of the early 90's movies, like when the man offered the flower to Tiana, she leaves, he turns around and accidentally offered it to a huge fat guy instead. Moments like that, the characters, and the alligator were awesome. The animation was great, and the stylized animation when Tiana was singing about her restaurant in the beginning was very good.
I agree about the villian being a little weak, the whole "I'm subservient to an even more powerful villian" thing seemed a little too convenient...also the fact that the Prince's servant was so quick to turn on him was sort of strange, despite that quick recap of his past. I did not appreciate the fact that the trailer released earlier this year showed so much from the movie. I hadn't seen the trailer since then, but I remembered most of it, and they showed a great deal from Act III, specifically the END of Act III. |

I found the 'Dig a Little Deeper' number on youtube. It'll probably be removed soon, but this is my favorite song and sequence from the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EyDKcPvO8g

mraw -- "Dig a Little Deeper" was one of my favorites too, although all the songs were really great throughout the entire movie.

Just caught this earlier tonight with the family. Enjoyed it, and more than I thought I would. I don't know if I can elevate it yet (perhaps after a home viewing on DVD) to "best film of the year" status or on par with some of the other Disney classics, but I thought it was well done.
