Frog Kisses

A dissertation on The princess and the Frog

Would you kiss a frog I know I wouldn't? Come and watch this wonderful movie packed full of funny and even scary moments, with loads of suspense throughout them.

Tiana, a little girl with a big dream. Comes from family a of a mother who's a tailor and a father who works three jobs just to keep his family going.

Tianas got a big dream, one shes been saving for her whole life. She wants to run a restaurant and make gumball for everyone. But mostly to fill her fathers dream.

She wishes on a star to get her restaurant. A frog, she sees one sitting on the balcony. Next thing you know he's asking her to kiss him, and says he's prince Naveene and will turn into a handsome prince if she does so. Doubting herself she finally does kiss him.

"EEWWW, I'm a frog, and I'm covered in slime," Tiana shouts.

"Actually, its mucus," prince Naveene (still a frog) clarifies.

Tiana and Prince Naveene have heard about a 197 year old priestess named Mama Odie who lives deep in the bayou, might be able to help.

Theresa a catch, Fcilier, who changed prince Naveene into a frog. A man who performs dark magic's has called the dark things from the other side to help capture them.

On their way they make friends with a trumpet blowing alligator named Louis and a firefly named Ray: who is crazy in love with the brightest star at night, Evangeline. Will all four of them get to Mama Odie in time, or will the dark shadows from the other side beat catch them?

I like how the directors/animators, John Musker and Ron Clemets, made this movie more modern, but still with that fairy tale taste. Not with Huge castles and princesses that need a hair cut or always loosing their shoes; but with places and characters and moments you can relate to.

The voice of Tiana (Anika noni Rose) really puts in lots of effort in to it.

"I WILL NEVER, EVER KISS A FROG," she says when she was little, just after her mother her mother reads her an original story, The Princess and the Frog.

I think that this movie is great for anyone and everyone to watch, with its dark magic, and its fairy tale feeling. It pulls you into Tianas world, and as you watch you can relate. This movie is summed up with one word, fantastic.
