>"This film was actively marketed as introducing the first African-American Disney Princess. This would have been well and good if this had been what the film was actually about. However, instead of featuring scenes of this new Disney Princess character, the film presents her for most of its running time as a green frog. She only regains her natural form at the very, very end of the film. This seems to me to be a somewhat insensitive way to introduce a potential new Disney star. While there are precedents in Disney features of a human turning into an animal–such as “The Emperor’s New Groove,” “Brother Bear,” and even “Beauty and the Beast”–there is an implication in those earlier films that becoming an animal is a form of retribution or punishment for one’s social sins. Thus, in “The Princess and the Frog” it seems somewhat demeaning to reduce the heroine Tiana to the form of a frog–and it also goes against the marketing of the time which was emphasizing Tiana as a role model for young women of all races. If the target audience for the film consisted of frogs, this transformation would make perfect sense–but what human is going to look to a frog to serve as a role model? This is my biggest problem with the film. Tiana herself is beautifully animated and a wonderful, strong personality without being overbearing. She could have carried the entire film in her human form. I went to the film expecting to see this new Disney Princess in action, and instead I got a frog"
>>153518612My god anon this film wasnt a fucking flop. Even if you do the damn "budget with marketing costs" bit it still made a good dime.Its obvious at this point that they just didnt want to invest in 2D animation anymore cause despite 3D being just as expensive its "easier" to make changes to films at the last minute. Plus god forbid they have to train the new generations of artists coming in, better to let a whole medium fucking die instead
Tiana has really, really nice tits.Cooming aside, I saw a young family watching this through the window the other day, and it was nice.
>>153518612The film was mid anyway, and I'm saying that as someone that likes it >>153519177She does look dam good

>Oh god, anon, don't stop!>I'm almost there!!!
>>153519435Thought that was African boobs for a second
>>153520479>African boobs
>>153519309How was Princess and the Frog "mid"? Even if it loses some steam once both leads become frogs, the film's entire presentation is still a gorgeous spectacle that could stand next to some of Disney's greats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsGuYOUX6bM&t=1s Facilier alone balances out the whole Tiana-spending-2/3rds-of-the-movie-as-a-frog controversy
>>153518747It was 100% intentional. Remember that this was before Disney stopped pandering to China.
>>153520746Gyatt DAYUM those hips
>>153518612Great movieFuck the retarded culture war that followed
>>153521359Tiana would never tell, but she likes it when you look.
I think this may be one of the only Disney movies with an actual date that it takes place, as opposed to timey wimey broadly historical bullshit.

>>153521670I can't find it right now, but I saw some fanart once where Tiana and Lottie went to go see Snow White in the theater when it came out in '37. It was cute.
