THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG MOVIE TRAILER AND POSTER
Pictured is the poster to Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, which will feature the first African-American princess. Here is a summation of the movie:
“A musical set in the legendary birthplace of jazz — New Orleans — The Princess and the Frog will introduce the newest Disney princess, Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose), a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. From the heart of Louisiana’s mystical bayous and the banks of the mighty Mississippi comes an unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm at every turn.”
In addition to Anika Noni Rose (as Princess Tiana), the movie will also feature the voices of Oprah Winfrey, Keith David, Jim Cummings, John Goodman, Jenifer Lewis, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, Peter Bartlett and Terrence Howard. The film will debut in theaters in New York and LA on November 25th before expanding wide on December 11th.
finally! i’m happy for princess tiana’s debut. now the lil black girls have a disney princess the can identify with. also, being a disney passholder, it would be nice to see some of the lil girls walking around with princess tiana costumes on.
I agree I’m on bored with this, the trailer looks good.
I cant wait for this its gonna be good!
i’m looking forward to this one… can’t wait, and yea the trailer does look good, but why we gotta wait so long……….. november.. lol
I hope everyone goes to see this movie when it comes out!
I too am glad little Black girls all over the world will have their own Princess, but I still have one problem with the movie. If they’re going to give us a Black princess, why can’t we get a Black prince too? What’s so wrong with that? Disney could have made this the first Black princess and prince movie. That way it would have been even. Unless they’re going to make another movie with a White princess and she falls for a Black prince. But that’s HIGHLY UNLIKEY right?
Good point!
Black prince with a white princess…yeah, very unlikely!! But you never know what the near future may hold. There was a point in time when a BLACK princess was “unlikely”…and look what we have here!
I’m a little confused why does the black princess need a black prince? I think this one is over my head. My mother always told me to bring home someone who makes me happy, has a job, and doesn’t hit me……………….
OK I’M NOT SAYING IN ANY WAY THAT BLACK MEN IN GENERAL DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS, I’m just saying I was always told that as long as he meets those requiremnets who cares if hes short, blind, and ashy! LOL

I agree with you to some extent i don’t belive it’s vital that the cartoon black princess has to have a black prince. It would nice, if she did but it’s still nice even though she doesn’t. I’m just happy that they are giving us the magic that is hand drawn animation rather then the souless CG movies they been churning out.
Watching trailer made feel like I was little again when every year disney brought out hit after hit. The little mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Alladin and The Lion king.
I hope this film will join their golden ranks.
It’s seems like a cute movie. =D

The original prince was going to be white Prince named Henry. But they changed it and now ‘Prince Naveen’ is going to be from the fictional country Maldonia. So in actuality he’s probably Indian not Black.
That’s what I’m saying. Why can’t he be Black? Disney already gave us an Indian prince, Aladdin and then of course the White Prince’s. So again, why not a Black one?
Sounded like an Hispanic accent a bit there to me… - Aladdin wasn’t Indian - maybe Arab?
They did have little Mowgli though - man I loved that movie.
Maybe they did a Hispanic prince because she is Creole - or it is at least set in Creole culture, i guess they though non-specific Hispanic would suffice?
Anyways, they prob figured they had to do the black thing soon, they were runnung out of races to do instead:
Snow White, Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Swan Princess etc… All white
Jasmine/Aladdin- Arab (had the whole series)
Milan-Oriental/Asian
Mowgli-Indian
Pocahontas - Native American
Not to mention the animal kingdom like Simba and Bambi (gosh I looovved that one too)…. and even Arial was white and she is a mermaid!
lol, I’m in my 20’s and will be watching it!!
(I’ll just bring my 6 year old brother too so I won’t look so pathetic, lol)
I wonder how many more different ideas/movies would have been if they released this in the 80’s when I was coming up. I wonder how many more “ethnic” characters produced…and the Lion King does not count, lol.
Oh-My-Gawd!
I feel like a little girl again! So magical and not only that, it’s in New Orleans! Oh HECK yes!
I REALLY hope they do the music justice, I mean this IS New Orleans
I cant wait to take my daughter and nieces to see this one. We will go on opening weekend.
Oh WOW!! I can’t wait until this comes out!! I am so excited to see my daughter reaction. The trailer looks good!
It’s high time. I plan to take my grandchildren to see this!
O please don’t tell me the only Black Disney Princess turns in to a frog and remains so for the majority of the movie, halfway in your gonna forget she is black anyway. Is it really just the thought that counts?
I mean, the only other princess I can think of that mutated into an animal turned into a swan (The Swan Princess). Swan vs frog? I think that comparision says enough…
Am i just nit picking?
On another note I was so happy about this when I first heard about it - took them long enough - but now I just need to find a kid to take with me lol. I should take a white kid… (prob so many that arn’t gonna see the movie - I can make a difference lol).
