Review: 'The Princess and the Frog' is like a visit from an old friend | 
From member Brandon Fibbs:
Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is like a visit from an old friend after a long time spent apart. While Pixar has preserved and exponentially advanced the Disney standard, there is something comforting about traditional, hand-drawn, 2-D animation. For those hoping The Princess and the Frog will be a throwback to the films of their childhood, a Broadway-inspired musical extravaganza of the sort you thought they stopped making ever since Woody and Buzz Lightyear appeared on the scene, I have great news: your hope is not misplaced.
All her life, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) dreamt of opening a restaurant where she could feed the hungry city of New Orleans on the gumbo recipe passed down to her from her parents (Terrance Howard and Oprah Winfrey).
