Went to see the Princess and the Frog on Saturday. I've been looking forward to it, ever since I heard the head of Pixar was in charge of classical Disney animation (even though the trailers I've seen seemed kind of mediocre, IMO).
But it seems that I had nothing to worry about; I thought the movie was really good. :D I don't want to spoil anything, but I like how the characters didn't seem one-dimensional to me (for example, the protagonist's best friend is portrayed as a spoiled princess, but is still a good friend). And there's somewhat of a bittersweet ending... But it's still undeniably a Disney fairy tale movie, which I would definitely recommend to fans. :)
I do have to note that since we went on a Saturday, the theatre was full of little girls and their moms (there was even a girl's birthday party going on)! My SO was kind of disturbed to realize he was one of the only males actually watching the movie XD (he's as much of a Disney fan as I am, if not more so).
But the most surreal part was that there were at least three little girls that I saw dressed in Disney princess outfits; there was even a black girl dressed in the full Frog Princess outfit, from the tiara, down to the sparkling shoes. O_o (I admit, if I was a little girl, I would totally want to dress up as a Disney princess, but it still struck me as odd.) There was also a girl in a Minnie Mouse inspired outfit, and even one of the moms was wearing a Disney tiara. O_o
I do have to say that one of the funniest moments I had at the theatre that day was not from the movie itself... We were walking past where they were showing the new Twilight movie, and I couldn't help but notice that someone had taken a letter off the sign, turing "New Moon" into "Ew Moon", LOL. XD
