I GREW UP WITH THOSE INCREDIBLE HAND DRAWN MOVIES, AND THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! I SAW THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG AND WHILE IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T THEIR BEST IT WAS STILL REALLY GOOD! PS: THE REASON DISNEY HASN'T DONE WELL IN THE NEAR PAST WITH 2D MOVIES IS BECAUSE THE STORIES, CHARACTERS ETC.. LACKED IN ALMOST EVERY WAY, IF ANYTHING THE ANIMATION ADDED TO THEM. I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ALMOST PUNISHING 2D ANIMATION BECAUSE THEIR LAST MOVIES DIDN'T DO WELL, SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE WHO MATTERS IN THE DISNEY WORLD HAPPENS TO READ THIS PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING SERIOUSLY: WHILE CG MOVIES ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND THE LIVE-ACTIONS GOOD.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE RELEASED TO THEATER 2D ANIMATED MOVIES AND FOCUS ON THE ANIMATION,STORY AND CHARACTERS, ALSO MARKET THEM A BIT BETTER, NOT MANY PEOPLE EVEN KNEW THAT THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG WAS COMING OUT! I PROMISE THAT IN ADDITION TO MAKING MONEY YOU WILL MAKE WALT DISNEY PROUD :) :) OH AND IN THE TRADITION OF CLASSIC DISNEY FILMS, MAYBE ADAPT OTHER FAIRY TALES, AFTER ALL THEY MADE MOST OF YOUR BEST MOVIES! THANKS SOO MUCH DISNEY!

And I don't care about the opinion of today's children that only want to see CGIs! These are the same children that have never seen Lion King, Beauty & Beast and so on ... Disney STOP FEEDING US CRAP and START releasing some good old crazy and DEEP stories that the whole world loves! (I too love CGI movies, but in a 5 or 6 year period disney plans to release 5 CGI movies and only 1 -pricess & frog .. guessing a crapy story..- classic animation movie) I mean, the US is the main maket BUT GET OUT OF THE CLOSET AND YOU'LL SE THAT THE WORLD WANTS AND NEEDS more movies like the old ones...

I know a TON of people who will be going to see this movie simply BECAUSE its a return to the classic style. How many crappy CGI movies have come out in the past few years?

I just hadn't looked at entertainment that way before; in terms of role models and what they will mean for the next generation. But here's my opinion. Any well-crafted character is widely empathetical. People should be able to relate to him almost universally, not just because of his skin color or nationality. A viewer relating to a character of his own nationality should be but a by-product of good storytelling. Not the goal. Does anyone recall the recent Resident Evil 5 scandal? People flipped out because the zombies in that game are African Americans. Strange, because it seems these people didn't take these things into account: 1. RE5 takes place in Africa. 2. Well, basically all other nationalities of zombies have been done before. Seriously. In Resident Evil 4 the zombies were specifically Europeans. No one cried, "Racism!" then. Turns out, when one of the game's producers was confronted, his statement was, to paraphrase, "It's in no way racism. The choice for the game to take place in Africa was essential for the story. I know people are upset about this, but...we can't please everyone." They had considered the ramifications previously, but decided it was essential that it take place in Africa. Sometimes, these racial things are just by-products of the story, not the main goal. Disney has been very racially diverse in their storytelling, but only because they wanted to tell different kinds of stories, like Aladdin and Pocahontas. It was never the main goal to simply please everybody systematically, so it makes absolutely no sense at all to try and hold them to it. Well, this ongoing debate has been very facinating.
