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?

Shrek did it.

Very true. I admit, the Disney bashing makes it a bit difficult for me to like that movie as much as i want to. (The curse also didn't work for e the way I suspect it does for others because I'm not alwas big on "You should be true to and find your true self! Which is the exact opposite of what you want!")

I am just plain sick of the movie. I liked it the first 10 times I watched it but after that... Jeez, it got old fast.

Yeah... it's a bit... umm... if you think about it. If Shrek suddenly died or left or whatever would she really want to be an ogre? No. Methinks they just didn't want to have a human and an ogre mate (donkey/dragon was for the purpose of comedy and then cuteness (babies!) in the second one so that doesn't count). Or they wanted to do something different from the cliche. Which I get. Still though.
