The Princess and the Frog represents a welcome return for Disney and a beacon of cartoon light that the company should aspire to with every new effort.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 28, 2023

The narrative is largely dull and the representation ranges from overdue to problematic. While the film still has a charm, specifically in its visuals, the overall viewing experience is more average than anything else.

The Princess and the Frog is indeed good-not-great, as its considerable merits ... are weighed against a circuitous, unsatisfying plot.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 19, 2021

The Princess of the Frog's black heroine is undoubtedly a step forward, yet in other respects the movie is backward looking - but in a good way.

| Nov 30, 2020

A welcome return to traditional animation, with changes in animation styles to highlight specific sequences, and unobtrusive CG effects.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 29, 2020

An entertaining and vibrant film.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020

Despite the beautiful animation and some contagious musical acts, I find the fairy tale a bit routinary. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 21, 2020

It is highly appreciated that Disney has been adapting to the new times, giving a less dependent and conformist version of its female characters. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Princess and the Frog is a real feel-good movie, with that magical mix of realism and Disney charm, characters that resonate, and gorgeous animation.

| Apr 8, 2020

A timeless classic, The Princess and The Frog is magical, simply magical.

| Nov 13, 2019

A pretty standard Disney plot, filled with funny sidekicks and jazzy musical numbers, but that is precisely what makes The Princess and the Frog so charming and ultimately so comforting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

The story is very convoluted and complicated but it does teach a nice message and like I said it looks stunning.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 22, 2019

More importantly, the film stars the best Disney princess to date. Tiana is kind, determined, talented, hardworking and not at all inclined to sit around waiting for a prince to rescue her.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 13, 2018

The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color.

| Original Score: A | Sep 12, 2017

Sweet songs inspired by the Jazz Era setting, a happy story and a heroine with ambition; this is Disney as I remember it and now your children can too.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2017

Tiana is a wonderful Disney princess; let's hope she gets to come back in a livelier vehicle.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 17, 2017

A story everyone can enjoy.

| Nov 8, 2016

The sweet finale ensures that the whole thing ends on a positive note, admittedly, but it's simply not enough to compensate for The Princess and the Frog's otherwise lackluster, overly familiar sensibilities.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2015

The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 7, 2014

The styles are varied, but always in tune with the narrative content, ensuring there's never an unwelcome eyeful of colour and motion.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 7, 2014
