The Princess and the Frog

Friday, December 11th, 2009

I don’t go to movies on opening days very often, so when I do, that means I really want to see the movie! For months I’d been looking forwards to the release of Disney’s latest animated movie, The Princess and the Frog, and today, it was finally released in theaters. The movie is a bit of a modern twist on the Frog Prince fairy tale, and Disney thankfully didn’t use 3D animation and used a more traditional animation style, which looked very well done. The story was well written, and there is a fairly sad part towards the end that might upset the kids. And finally, the voice acting was top-notch, fitting each character perfectly!

So go see the movie! You won’t regret it. Don’t let classic animation become extinct, please help show Disney that there’s still people that enjoy it. I’ll be busy buying up all the Princess and the Frog merchandise I can find (which has been very… non-existent in Canada..) and awaiting patiently for the DVD.

Princess Flame Allfire

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Princess Flame comes from the kingdom of Camelhot, where the Dragon Knights of the Square Table spend their time bickering with one another and foiling the evil plans of the dread Count Geoffrey. For more pictures of Princess Flame, just take a look over here.

((The cartoon Blazing Dragons ran from 1996 to 1998 for 2 seasons, and was based on a story by Terry Jones. The cartoon series was done by Nelvana and Ellipse Programme, and aired on various channels in Canada, and the Disney channel in the USA. It’s currently unavailable on VHS and DVD, and it’s doubtful that it will ever be on DVD or Blu-ray. You can find a few episodes on Youtube, but one would need to go somewhere else *cough*Bit Torrent*cough* for the rest.))
