This has been a long weekend of movies for me, and I NEED to see a really GOOD one. Actually, I did see one: the new Disney Princess movie. The Princess and the Frog. For once, Disney’s princess has a dream that she knows takes years of hard work to achieve. She is not after only finding her prince. She happens to fall in love, but it’s not her only goal in life.
The animation was sensational and HAND DRAWN. The location is New Orleans, so the music was excellent. The characters were wonderful. The story was quite original. Conservatives, take your kids to this one without fear.
I felt that “Up in the Air” and “Sherlock Holmes” were serious meh. Even though the stars were some serious eye candy for us girls.
Sadly tonight Jim Cameron gets some bucks from us. I have teenage boys, sorry.
I took my young daughter to see The Princess and the Frog on Friday fully expecting to be, at best, underwhelmed. I was surprised though . . . it was rather good. And the sub message of working hard to achieve your goals and taking responsibility for your own life was just as pleasant and just as surprising.
