The first five minutes of the new Disney film The Princess and the Frog wound up online yesterday—the unfinished clip seems to have been leaked, since the video’s since been pulled from YouTube, but as of right now it can still be found in a few places. Jezebel also has a dozen screen grabs.
The hand-drawn images are gorgeous—not to mention the fact that it’s really fun to see the animation in progress—but I’m particularly thrilled to see two Disney rarities here: girl friends and a doting mom. Is it too much to hope that both survive the rest of the film?

I liked it!

I just watched the first five minutes of the movie and I have to say, I really liked it. It was beautifully drawn (a flashback to the Disney movies of my childhood) and I giggled out loud at the little girls "tormenting" of the kitten (not because I laugh at animal cruelty, but because the facial expressions of the kitten are hysterical and vintage Disney).
I do wonder if some will find the depiction of the main characters' poverty racially insensitive, but I hope not. I found the scene where Tiana invited the neighbourhood onto her front porch to try her gumbo both sweet and very kind-hearted.
