Should "The Princess and the Frog" been released in 2008?

Agreed. "Mother Knows Best" sounds like it would fit a movie from Walt's era, not in a 2010 Disney flick. Either way, two of the songs are derivative. "I've Got a Dream" is exactly like the drinking song in "Dumbo" and "Mother Knows Best" reprise sounds almost like "Savages" from "Pocahontas".

You are confusing the chorus of SAVAGES with the bridge of MOTHER KNOWS BEST. There are some similar chords, but no, I do not find them derivative.

I thought the TANGLED soundtrack was very good and Disney-worthy. The story was a little predictable, but it had a better ending than PATF which kind of made it worthwhile.

If you want derivative, compare BELLE with SOMETHING THERE.

Or YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME with I LOVE TO SEE YOU SMILE.

I was talking about the reprise of "Mother Knows Best", not the song itself. If you'll listen, you'll find some melodic similarities.
