“Cinematical has just received this beautiful exclusive teaser poster for Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, which marks the studio’s triumphant return to 2D hand-drawn animation. Featuring the voices of Anika Noni Rose (as Princess Tiana), Oprah Winfrey, Keith David, Jim Cummings, John Goodman, Jenifer Lewis, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, Peter Bartlett and Terrence Howard, The Princess and the Frog is based on E.D. Baker’s classic novel The Frog Princess, except this film — written and directed by the filmmaking duo of John Musker and Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules) — is set in New Orleans, stars a singing crocodile and features Disney’s first African-American princess. Famed songwriter/composer Randy Newman (Toy Story, Monsters, Inc.) lent his familiar voice to the soundtrack, which I’m sure will carve out its special place alongside Disney’s long list of memorable tracks … folks will have a chance to see the film when it hits theaters in New York and LA on November 25th before expanding wide on December 11th.”
ABOUT TIME!! That’s All.
