What a great thrill to see genuine animation once again. Disney's The Princess and the Frog is a gorgeous film, and like many of the Disney releases over the past two decades is built around a clever story and terrific music.
This is quality entertainment for all ages.
I will make note of a single point. I don't recall whether Disney is referring to TPatF as a "classic" or whether the term is being used by reviewers, but I'd very much like to set some guidelines, much like the concept of using the term "restoration."
To my mind, Bambi, Peter Pan, Pinocchio and others are true Disney classics. A limitation should be placed upon the use of the word for marketing. Let's go with 18 months. After that it can be called a "classic."
And let's make it at least 24 months before a film can be referred to as masterfully or beautifully "restored."
Quality modern entertainment from Disney, which may well someday be a "classic."
Did I mention that this is a magnificent Blu-ray?
Highly recommended.
