Disney Returns To 2D!

And I couldn't be happier. I'm a sucker for good ol' fashioned Disney 2D animation. Some of the best animated motion pictures I've seen are all in 2D, and only a couple of 3D animations stand up to those cartoons of old. I've watched Beauty & The Beast so many times I can remember the scenes in perfect sequence to this day. And what about Peter Pan, Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Aladdin, and the grandmaster of Disney's 2D flicks, The Lion King? All instant classics, all loved to this day. Which brings me to my topic.

This holiday season, Disney returns to its roots and brings one more magical fairy tale to life on the big screen. The Princess & The Frog tells the tale of a prince who is cursed to remain a frog until a beautiful princess gives him / it a passionate, lusty kiss. Okay maybe not so lusty unless you get The Princess & The Frog Unrated, Uncut, Uncensored, but still...a kiss. Instead of telling the age old story, Disney goes a step further and shows us what happens after the kiss. You wanna' know? Watch the first trailer above.

Also note that this happens during the Jazz Age in New Orleans so expect some jazz musicals, voodoo, and singing crocodiles. Princess Tiana is also Disney's first ever African-American princess. These guys really pay attention to people around the world. There's a Middle Eastern princess, a gypsy, I'm not sure what Pocahontas is, a lioness, and now their first African-American princess. Nice.

Anyway, enough talk! Enjoy the trailer. It gave me goosepimples. Especially the opening montage. It's so nice to see Disney and their 2D again. Hopefully there's more to come. :)
