The warmth of traditional Disney animation makes this occasionally lightweight fairy-tale update a lively and captivating confection for the holidays.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color. Rated: A Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association A story everyone can enjoy. Nov 8, 2016 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 7, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The Princess and the Frog represents a welcome return for Disney and a beacon of cartoon light that the company should aspire to with every new effort. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 28, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn The narrative is largely dull and the representation ranges from overdue to problematic. While the film still has a charm, specifically in its visuals, the overall viewing experience is more average than anything else. Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Sean Collier Box Office Prophets The Princess and the Frog is indeed good-not-great, as its considerable merits ... are weighed against a circuitous, unsatisfying plot. Rated: 7/10 Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Luke R It’s a pretty good film. I watched this with my cousin when we were kids. I was shocked when Ray died, it was so emotional. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Russell H My daughter loves it. Has that old Disney feel to it. I didn't even know it was made that recently. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Noe G Princess and the frog is amazing Disney animated film from 2009 and my rating is 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review The Wandering D Second time watching this film. I didn't dislike it as much as the first time I watched it, but I just can't help feeling so uncompelled by this story. And don't even get me started on the songs. There are like two memorable songs in this movie and those are the only two I really enjoy. Visuals are nice in this but it's obvious that Disney wanted to shovel this out since it was their last 2D film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Ryan A This is one of the most beautiful disney movies I've ever seen in my whole life 💕💘💛💚💜🥰😎🤣😁👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Diego L This is the best Disney movie by far.
