The Princess and the Frog Trailer

The highly awaited Princess and the Frog trailer is now on line and all I can say is...Oh my God!! It looks GORGEOUS!!! We are going to have a closer look at it but before, as there IS below a lot of spoilers about different scenes i strongly suggest you to watch the trailer below or in high-def on Apple Trailers, and come back on D&M after you've seen it as there is lot of stunning images below!



As we know, the Princess and the Frog is a fairy tale - based upon the book by E.D. Baker - centered on a young girl named Tiana who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age. As we saw before on the first teaser she happened to meet a frog...



The frog explain to her that "he" desperately needs a kiss from her to break the spell ...



As "he" was before a Prince - Prince Naveen - from the land of Maldonia...



We can see the prince arriving and acclaimed by the crowd...



Before being transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo witch doctor Dr. Facilier.





For different reasons that i won't explained now if you haven't seen the trailer yet, Tiana and the frog must find the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie...




While befriending with a trumpet-playing alligator...




...and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way.




It looks like the help of Mama Odie will be a precious one...



And, although some of the trailer images shows a happy ending (what a surprise!)...




...there is ONE thing that i won't tell you - specially if you haven't watch the trailer yet, it's what is happening when Tiana finally agrees to kiss the frog...



You have to see the trailer first to discover it!

The trailer also introduce new characters like these musicians of a street Jazz band...



And the early life of Tiana while she was a waitress.




Some other scenes shows gorgeous backdrop like this night scene with the river boat...



...or sophisticated decors like this "fairy tale" bedroom



Graphically speaking Disney animators did outstanding stylisation and colours on the voodoo scenes...





After watching this trailer i can tell you that i have absolutely no doubts that The Princess and the Frog - directed by the highly talented John Musker and Ron Clements - will be a major Disney animated film! I just can't wait for November!

Recently, the Disney Channel aired the series below of Princess and the Frog featurettes. Called "The Princess and the Frog Top Secret Tour" it's a great behind the scenes tour with the directors John Musker and Ron Clements and artists involved in this awaited animated movie. A good soul - daytimesky2000 - had the good idea to upload them on Youtube, so here are the five featurettes. And yes, they include new clips from the movie never seen before!
