The Princess and the Frog
Starring Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley
Written by Ron Clements, John Musker
Directed by Ron Clements, John Musker
Plot: A back-to-roots Disney fairy tale set in New Orleans around a young girl and her fateful kiss with a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again.


"The Princess and the Frog tries desperately to be a Disney classic, but sadly comes short. It simply sags too much in the middle. The end credits song by Ne-Yo however is a winner."
