The 49th Disney Feature Film The classic Disney films are alive and well. I love every minute of this froggy jazz ride and enjoy the New Orleans touch (as Anne Rice often describes it in another genre) in a big way. The firefly, the voodoo, and the crazy interwar blonde captured my heart. I consider Tiana's Palace my own - where else can I get art deco, an alligator with a trumpet and a variation on Josephine without a banana? And the frogs and the snake... simply beautiful. Wonderful, God bless the banishment of 3D tastelessness. I haven't had this much fun since Dumbo and Pocahontas.

A pleasant shock in the fact that Disney dared to venture into the waters of its most classic stories in a time when it could hardly function without pop culture references or 3D animation. And furthermore, in how much it turns around a few unmistakable archetypes of well-known fairy tales. Although the swamp or jazz could have offered a little more, I must unequivocally praise this effort. Especially since instead of swan songs, it opened the studio a path to further success in the form of "Tangled" or the mega-hit "Frozen".
