The Princess and The Frog
Remember when we were young, our parents of someone older tells us the story of a prince cursed into becoming a frog that talks. Befriend a princess and asks her to kiss him when later he turned back into human being?It's a classic fairy tale, told from generations to generation all over the world. The end of 2009, Walt Disney Pictures screened the modern day tale of The Frog Prince. When the classic one suggests that the frog turned into human being upon kissing the princess, it's kind of different in this version of the Princess and the Frog.
The tale of Tiana, a pretty and very hardworking waitress, working shifts day and night at different places to earn as much fund as she can to open a restaurant that her father wanted to have before he died. It's called Tiana's Place. To make her dreams come true, Tiana work as much as she could that she barely go out with friends or relax. A poor girl herself, Tiana befriended a rich heiress of whom from the family her mother used to work with as a tailor. The one who so bubbly and dramatic Charlotte, who always believes true love and the power of wishing to a wishing star.
Tiana life's changed when she met a frog that claimed that it is a prince after being lures to make a deal with the devil by Dr. Facilier or famously called as The Shadow Man for almost the entire movie. He convinced her to kiss him and promised her plenty of money to help her open the restaurant. However, it might be a happy ending for the classic tale in the classic version once the frog was kissed, the's a bit of twist here because instead of turning the frog prince into human form, Tiana turned into a frog!
Their journey to seek for help to change themselves into human form again brought them an unexpected friendship, adventure and love...and a little bit of fun along the way. They both met a vegetarian gator who loves music and dream of playing his trumpet with the band, and Ray, a very helpful and caring firefly who if brave and very much in love with the wishing star he called Evangeline.
What I like about this movie is that the fact it feature morale values that were and still are reasonable and noble as well as touching. I can say that i could see the message of this movie. It's about dreaming big, overcome the circumstances that held you back from achieving it, work together and be helpful. Plus, love...it's blind!!
What i barely like here...it's too dark for certain parts.
I think I'll make this one simple enough. I barely have much time here actually. But I hope I can update more often later. =)
Enjoy!
Owh, to all my Chinese friends and visitors, Happy Chinese New Year of The Tiger!!
