M&M: ‘Princess & Frog’ Starts Slowly

Why, I often wondered, wasn’t life more like a Disney movie? In recent years, Disney and all it stands for has changed, mainly because other companies have traipsed into its territory. Pixar offers us much of the same traditional Disney view, but it adds just a bit of irony and slightly edgy humor. DreamWorks thrives on irony and lets its humor pass by so quickly most viewers never understand just how edgy it really is. Twentieth Century Fox is a gag-happy combination of both. Which is why “The Princess and the Frog” is such a surprise. At its heart, this is Disney tradition at its most basic. The story itself, though a variation on the traditional Grimm Brothers tale “The Frog Prince,” mixes a little “Wizard of Oz” with “Beauty and the Beast” and more than a bit of “Song of the South”/ Dan Webster , Movies & More.
