Pretty crazy how the movie with a firefly funeral and an alligator playing jazz also features Disney's most authentic depiction of hardworking blue-collar Americans and 1920s New Orleans
Georgia Coley on Letterboxd Here is a tuneful, entertaining, great-looking, hip, funny animated feature destined to the capture the hearts of young fans and Disney aficionados alike. All the right ingredients are here: a heroine we can relate to and root for, an unlikely hero who has to prove himself, an oily villain, a colorful array of supporting characters, magnificent production design, and a rousing musical score by Randy Newman.
Leonard Maltin on Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy The opening scenes of Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" are like a cool shower after a long and sweaty day. This is what classic animation once was like! No 3-D! No glasses! No extra ticket charge! No frantic frenzies of meaningless action! And . . . good gravy! A story! Characters! A plot! It's set in a particular time and place! And it uses (calm me down here) lovingly hand-drawn animation that proceeds at a human pace, instead of racing with odd smoothness.
