Me. Wanty. *drools*

Smaller, Mama Odie looks less scary, I hope they changed her pointy skeletalness.

But Naveen should be his Prince self on the card! Everyone else is in their original forms...and it's like his photo opportunity!

AWESOME!

Love the artwork, but agree with Duster. They should have both versions of Tiana and Naveen.

Why does Charlotte look like Amber from Hairspray?

Anyone think Mama Odie looks like a snake facial wise? Kinda like Kaa from The Jungle Book.

And like with BatB, Naveen will probably be marketed in his frog form more than his human form

Yay thanks pap!

Hm Princess Forever, but the thing is we actually see a lot of Naveen in his Prince form before he transforms. We see his story. His Prince form is very much throughout the film, unlike Prince Adam, the Prince form of the Beast.

So if you are right, they show his frog form more...that's just lame.

Duster pretty much said what I was going to say about Naveen. Not to mention he already has some merchandise of him in both his human and frog forms, meaning that Disney has not excuse as to which form to market.

I mean we see mermaid Ariel and Human Ariel adorn most of the Princess Merchandise so why not have both Froggy and Princess Tiana be featured?

There's a new clip on youtube that features Tiana and Charlotte as children as well as Tiana'a mother and Charlotte's father http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOJqI29rlmI

Thanks! I had seen this already, but without any sound.

That's a great clip! Nice to have the voices, now it makes sense on what's going on. So that's how the girls meet and become friends. Her mom being the seamstress for the family. Making any princess dress she asks for. As always John Goodman is wonderfully cast. I love that man, he has such a great voice and presence, both for animation and live action. He really makes the character.

I dont think those Tarot Cards are gana fly with all the christian/catholic groups most likely gana be against it. They might ban the movie

Was anyone else expecting "Big Daddy" Labeouf to start yodelling at some point during that clip?

or am I the only thinking he resembled Alameda Slim?

Seriously though, the animation looks exactly like all the other recent handdrawn films before they got shut down. The flair, fluidity and comic timing remind me of the animation from Tarzan, New Groove, Atlantis and Home on the Range.

Definitely looks like they managed to hire back the best of what was sadly let go in 2003. It'll be interesting to see what Pooh looks like when animated by this crew.

They technically can't ban the film. They can ban it from their own churches and homes, but I think you mean boycott...which means they won't see the movie or buy the merchandise. To ban it nationwide, would be opening up a can of worms with the first amendment.

Let them boycott it. They are gonna do it anyways. Controversy sells.

Besides, I have real tarot cards and those are not tarot cards. If that is the official name for them, its just a marketing ploy. They are nothing more than game cards.

Churches may bann it, but they can't really do anything about it once Oprah makes it "her new favorite thing".

And she will.

I don't think there is anything in this movie that will make normal church goers ban or boycott this. Only the most zealous would, and if they did they wouldn't get very far.

I can totally see this happening, and I'm sure it will.

He borrows the "big barrel chest" design from both Alameda and Governor Ratcliffe from Pocahontas. Its a common caricature design for big men who are more chest than big bellies.

Very true. In all truth, I bet Oprah will do a whole show on it

Well, I think this was expected the moment Oprah was hired for the role. It wouldn't be right if one of the most well-known African Americans today (as well as probably in history long after she's gone, I would think) weren't in The Princess and the Frog, which is mostly being tagged as the first African American Disney (Princess) movie. Not to mention it was just a good decision to use her as an outlet for advertising the movie, considering so many mothers with children probably watch her show.

No more than I keep expecting Chief Powhatan to turn around mid song and say Oh Bother...
