The Princess And The Frog, which I probably a little excessively hated on last week when Disney released crappy footage prior to the real trailer, now has a real trailer:

As usual, Disney is way over self-romantic like they created childhood and art and the celebration of different cultures, but at least this gives a deeper story than that sexual predator frog and that awful Cajun firefly did. The tap dancing part looks really cool as a visual allusion, but I’m still not sure about stuff like the old lady yelling “This gon’ be guuuuuuud!” The whole thing just seems too made by rich old Beverly Hills dudes not to view with a critical eye. (Thanks to Joseph and Noah for the tips!)

  1. Wow, it started off bad, got a little bit better, but that little yell at the end made me want to kill.
    Plus that narration was getting on my fucking nerves.
    Or maybe I’m just primed to hate it.

  2. If anything, this trailer makes it look even worse.

  3. “This gon’ be baaaaad!”

  4. omg the “This gu’n be guuud” moment was so weird and worse than described I laughed out loud and almost fell out of my chair.

  5. I don’t want to be THAT GUY but I think the only reason this was made is because of Sasha and Malia.

    yay! now there is equal-opportunity patriarchical stereotyping! it’s a great day for girlkind!

  7. That’s what I do when a talking frog won’t stop bugging me too: I squish it with a book; that’s just basic talking frog self-defense.

    Normally I wouldn’t be interested in this movie, but since it’s from the same company who made Alladin and Lion King, you can count me in; at first I was thinking “who the hell’s Disney?” But those references really helped me out.

  8. Look, Disney, you can’t take a major plot point of the SHREK movies and also claim that you’re bringing childhood back to its state of perfect innocence and wonder and joy. If SHREK did it (changing to ugly rather than going back to pretty), it’s been defiled forever.

  9. Lindsay, since you are willing to admit you prematurely hated, I am willing to admit I and the comment section got a little caried away with the hate parade. :( I just really like cartoons ok.

  10. Yeah, this is just like if Shrek and Beauty and the Beast and Swan Lake had a politically incorrect lovechild. That is the end of my thoughts on this trailer…..

  11. I was confident that Disney will not make anything bad for fans like me. Its now looking great.

  12. Is it lame that the beginning with the past Disney movies made me giddy? If so, color me lame.

  13. the 30 seconds of Disney flashbacks was the best part of the clip. After that was just DOWNHILL. Also, she turns into a frog! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? :O!!!!

  14. So I guess going by the trailer that the first black disney Princess is onscreen for maybe 5 minutes then spends the rest of the movie as a frog :(

  15. Still, it is nice to see Disney going back to guuuuud old fashin’d cartoons, and i love ANYTHING whit witch doctors. (Hey videogum, post more stuff bout witchdoctors)
