Underrated Disney Gem

'The Princess and the Frog' takes inspiration on The Frog Prince fairy tale to tell a wonderful original story. Here, our main female isn't of royalty, nor does she long to be such. She's a waitress who's only dream is to open her own restaurant. Through her unrelenting years of hard work she almost makes her dream come true near the beginning of the film.

This film brings together all the magic that has been missing since the old Disney films. It is every bit as amazing as Beauty and the Beast, if not a teensy bit more original. The plot is charming, the traditional storyline a bit twinged. The music is stunning from beginning to end and complements the plot wonderfully. The animation is tip top and the characters are very real and recognisable in modern society. The film has the trademark Disney happy ending that we all love to see, but it also brings across important lessons like you have to work hard in life to achieve your dreams and you will come second if you associate yourself with evil things. I have a compulsion to see New Orleans and its multi-cultural background and French influence. This film is ideal for children, but perhaps …
