[Picture is Tiana and Prince Naveen from the animated movie "The Princess and the Frog". Tiana is a young woman with somewhat dark skin and long dark hair pulled up in a bun. She has amber-orange eyes and is wearing dark red lipstick. She is wearing a sleeveless, strapless, shiny light blue dress with white trims, long white gloves extending over her whole arms, a white necklace with a blue stone hanging from it and a silver tiara with three triangles on her head. She is holding Prince Naveen in her hand, who is frog with a wide smile showing his teeth. He is a light green frog with dark green spots on his legs, and a cream-green colored belly.He is standing on his rear legs all cartoon-anthropomorphic-like, looking smugly at Tiana, who is smiling sheepishly back at him.]

It pisses me off when fans come up with excuses as to why Princess and the Frog didn't do so well. "American audiences are racist", "Kids only like CGI movies nowadays", "People aren't interested in Disney anymore", etc.

Let's face it, the movie wasn't great. It was on par with other late Disney films like Atlantis or Treasure Planet. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad movies. But they weren't the magical, epic, memorable movies of the Disney Renaissance. Princess and the Frog was okay. But it certainly didn't bring back the magic of the Disney Renaissance in my opinion.

The songs weren't memorable (not counting Facillier's song) and didn't add anything to the plot. There were too many pointless scenes, there were too many subplots that detracted from the main plot. And there weren't any jaw-droppingly epic moments like the stamped from The Lion King or Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

It was just... an okay movie.
