The Princess and the Frog Discussion - Part II

[miklc]

Oww thanks for posting I like those plushies very much! Me wants the lil' Tiana one

[blackcauldron85]

You just reminded me that there was another doll, of young Tiana. Not plush, but vinyl (?).

[Cordy_Biddle]

I'll prolly get at least one of the Tiana dolls for my collection--the variety of dolls released with this movie is especially encouraging.

It's been a long, long time since I've been on this board, but this movie has me really excited.

[tsom]

I, too, don't understand where all the hate is coming from. The first five minutes was beautiful!!!! I had a smile on my face the whole time. So what if there isn't a big opening number like "Belle," "Circle of Life," and "True Love's Kiss"? The little song/prologue grabbed my attention and sets the tone for the rest of the movie. I also like how we get to see her childhood, even for a little bit. The only other Disney princess that we know something about her childhood is Cinderella.

Just two more months!

On top of that "Belle" doesn't even begin until we're already about 2:30 mins into the film.

To base your liking of this film with the first 5 or so mins of footage is silly. Beyond that to dislike it because it doesn't begin right away with a song is even more silly. The majority of Disney's greats don't start right off with memorable opening song at all.

[jpanimation]

Where are people seeing hate for the opening 5 min? I really haven't seen anyone hate on it. I also don't remember seeing anyone say they didn't like it because it lacks a musical number or that the whole movie will suck because they didn't like the opening

Anyways, I re-watched they opening again and I like it a little more. Still not great but charming none-the-less, although I noticed some spotty animation upon second viewing. I'm very excited to see this movie.

[CampbellzSoup]

I saw they had teh first five mintues n hte Snow White Blu and I turned it off don't want to see ANY of this before I see it in the movies. Thank God I know nothing of it lol

Any NYC UDers wanna see the Nov 28th showing?

[CherryLipTherapy]

I'm in NYC. I'm definitely going to the early premiere, but I haven't bought my ticket yet. Which ticket are you going to buy, the 30 or 50 dollar one?

[Poody]

^I don't know about NYC, but in LA most of the $30 have been selling out... so... HURRY!

[Super Aurora]

Thought this was funny.

[BelleGirl]

Hilarious, SuperAurora!

$30-50 tickets?! That's pretty expensive for movie tickets!

Hi, i'm from NYC, but i was about to buy the tickets and it showed sold out, did u recently check? I don't think they are anymore...

[Poody]

That comic was hilarious...

Yes, but the one in LA is at the actual Disney animation studio.. and they have a whole "experience" after the movie. $50 is too much, so yeah I went with the $30 tickets. Which means I have to watch it at 9:30....

[Wonderlicious]

I went with the $30 tickets. Which means I have to watch it at 9:30....

In the morning or the evening?

As for me, I've decided not to watch the whole thing until it comes to cinemas. Which means waiting till February. Disney UK, I hate you.

I know it's really not fair! Ha ha, that comic fun was awesome

If you don't want to know song and score titles for fear of knowing anything about the plot, then I'd suggest not reading my post!

Are they really putting the pop track as the first song? It is a musical, Disney- you don't need to do that! I can't imagine it being the same (oh wait, yes I can...?), but the Cheetah Girls have a song called "Dig a Little Deeper". While I do like that song, hopefully it'll be a different song we hear on Track 10! I just looked up Terrance Simien, and he's not playing a character, so maybe Ray just needs backup? I'm so excited!!!!!
