The Princess and the Frog

We watched the Princess and the Frog a couple of times with Big G. This is the first time she's ever seen a princess movie and she seemed t like it (for the short periods when she was watching it, anyways).


I'm really torn about this movie. I liked the quickly unfolding love story between Tiana and Naveen because they started out not liking each other, it grew into friendship, and then a proposal was on the way. Very clean - good for a kids movie. I also fell in love with Raymond, the little Cajun firefly. The music was great and Big G and I were able to dance along with the characters.

On the other hand, the "magic" in this Disney movie was much much darker than the norm. You can tell a child that fairies don't exist, or that witches don't exist, but the way that "friends from the other side" aka demons were being summoned in this movie IS real. It was honestly just too real for me, and I had to look away during some parts.

That's my take on the movie. Any thoughts?
