Critic Reviews

  • Laremy Legel, Film.com

    It's a very cute film, a very accessible work for children and families.

  • A.O. Scott, At the Movies

    Most of The Princess and the Frog looks more like one of Disney's straight-to-DVD sequels than like their animated classics, and the few big, fun musical set-pieces are brought down by second-rate songwriting.

  • Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

    It's nice to know that the studio behind Cinderella can still cast a spell in two dimensions.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    Randy Newman provides the score, which, if short of memorable tunes, is rich in authenticity, with a mixture of local flavoured ragtime, zydeco and jazz.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    An instant if minor classic.

    Cute throwback to Disney movies of the past. I love jazz and the New Orleans setting and this was a great little film. Looked awesome on blu ray and had solid voice acting across the board.

    Princess Tiana: Daddy never got what he wanted... but he had what he NEEDED: love! He never gave that up, and neither will I!  The Princess and the Frog is a magnificent and ambitious animation from Walt Disney. I find that a lot of animated family movies almost beg you to like them.… More
