I’m not one for Disney movies, but I love Anika Noni Rose, so I kind of want to go see “The Princess and the Frog”, which hits theatres finally on this Friday, December 11th. Rose stars as Disney’s first black princess, Princess Tiana. Though I hear she is a frog for the majority of the movie, wamp.
There’s also a soundtrack (which is out now) full of original music by Randy Newman (who also scored and composed for the film), and stars such as Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lewis and Rose herself. You can watch a live clip of her singing “Almost There” on “Good Morning America” a couple of weeks ago — she sounds great!
I’d take my little cousins to see this movie, as it is a pretty historic event for Disney. I’m not a real animated movie fan though, and haven’t seen a lot of “classic” Disney joints — don’t judge me. But I’m all for diversifying, and though there has been some backlash about this movie…when isn’t there backlash about anything as sensitive as race and how we handle it in America?
Are you going to check this out?

There is nothing I loathe more than going to a crowded theater with snotty, H1N1 carrying kids but if I could go see “Babe” (when I didn’t have kids), I can take my daughter to see this.
