Major motion pictures, as they call 'em, often open in "select cities" weeks before opening nationwide. I live in Ohio and unless there's a presidential election going on, I get dissed. Recently it was Precious, that made it to Cleveland only after appearing in New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, et al.
And so I am so happy to report that WCG and I were pleased to be able to help make The Princess & the Frog #1 on its opening weekend. We give our distinctly different generational blessings and recommend it highly to...
well...
to absolutely everyone.
As for the hand-drawn animation, you certainly don't need to be a graphics art student to know the difference. Any Bugs Bunny fan can tell the difference between old-school backdrops where walls were made of detailed, shaded bricks and lawns included blades of grass, not just an expanse of green.
There was a scene in Princess & the Frog -- a wide shot of the Louisiana bayou covered with mist and moss in a soft rain. It is stunningly beautiful.
And yes, Tiana is a frog for quite a while, but we all have bad days before the sun comes back out, right?
