The Princess and the Frog

[meganbmoore]

Ok, O Mighty F-List Who Knows All, the following is what I know about this upcoming Disney movie:

1.  It's an adaptation of The Frog Prince.
2.  It's Disney doing 2D animation
3.  It has a black heroine
4.  It's set in New Orleans, presumably at some point in the past.

Anyway, apparently there is some sort of huge controversy over it?  Can anyone fill me in?

Also, does anyone know when it's coming out?

Seconding this.

Plus it's fun to see Disney doing 2-d animation again. And those stills linked above look like it's going to be a very pretty movie.

Yeah, the few images I've seen are amazing and atmospheric, and Disney 2D animation fairy tales are something I hugely imprinted on when younger.

Yeah, when my friend first linked it I was really surprised at the quality of it all, I'm just excited in general they're going to do 2D again, here's to hoping it doesn't...well, blow up more in their face...

Yeah, that's what made me happy. I miss 2-D animation.
