The Princess and the Forg
For this homework I chose Tiana in The Princess and The Frog. This is the 115 feature-length animation and classic animation 49 Disney Studios. It was released on November 20, 2009 in the United States. The filmmakers are Ron Clements and John Musker.
Of all Disney movies I’ve seen in my childhood, Princess Tiana is the first black and really appealed to me because I think that it changes other Princess which are often white. But I appreciate that they brings up the side of African cultures (ex: the marabou). There are also some typical African animals ( the crocodile). I appreciate that we have filmmakersplays tricks on the film because normally when a Princess kissing a Frog we imagine all the animal immediately that the animal will be transformed into a human while not at all what it’s transformed into a Frog. The fact that we find a moral lesson in this film I like too. At the beginning the father of Tiana dies and has no time to realize his dream (open a restaurant). So Tiana to fight to realize the dream of his father and his mother make proud. I also think it’s his way of making a tribute to her father she loved so much. This Princess is a beauty of a stunning simplicity. She is ambitious and has a character.
The side that I like the least is the fact that the film is taking place in places in America and not in Africa. I will love that filmmakers grow a little by bringing the Princess to its origins view that this is an African-American Princess.
