The first five minutes of The Princess and the Frog
Chad Concelmo | 11:38 AM on 10.06.2009 41 comments




I haven’t hidden my excitement for Disney’s upcoming hand-drawn 2D animated feature The Princess and the Frog. As anyone who knows me can tell you, I adore all Disney movies and am ecstatic that Disney (under the new leadership of my hero John Lasseter) decided to bring back the classic hand-drawn animated movies that made the mega-company famous in the first place. Choosing to also reunite the same animation/directing teams from the Little Mermaid/Beauty & the Beast/Aladdin trilogy of amazingness didn’t hurt either.

So, just today the first five minutes of The Princess and the Frog was released on YouTube.

Even though some of the footage is obviously still unfinished, I have to say I am excited. Really excited.

The clip is so beautiful, so rich, so wonderfully nostalgic that I am going to have a lot of trouble waiting until the film’s December 11th release date to see the entire thing.

Check out the opening sequence below:



What do you think? Pretty gorgeous, huh? How nice is it to see a brand new, hand-drawn animated movie from Disney? And the hint of one of the songs sounds absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to buy the soundtrack and listen to it over and over again in my Jeep until I get strange looks from people at stoplights.

I actually got a little misty-eyed watching this clip. It made me feel like a kid again.

I am so happy right now.

I can't wait! It's been too long since a good 2D Disney movie!

BulletMagnet's Destructoid Blog
Maybe I'm weird, but I actually like seeing unfinished footage of these things - somehow the link between that and the final product always struck a chord with me. Thanks much for the link, hope the end result meets expectations!
Booerns's Destructoid Blog
@Chad Concelmo
Hmm, how'd I miss that? Good 2 know, I tried to check out 69 (heh) but I got some "you're not an editor" bs message. And if you feel like it, check out my rant on how Tetris Attack still isn't on the VC, I know that game makes you wet.
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
@Booerns,
I read it! And I agree! Best game EVER! Exclamation points! :)
That's so odd about the random message. I hope you can read 'em now. :)
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the link to the video Chad, but I just can't watch it man. I want the first time I see this movie to be on the beauty and splendor of the big screen. The small You Tube video just will not do it justice.
Booerns's Destructoid Blog
@Chad Concelmo
Nice, that pretty much made my day. And memory card seems to be working for me now, can't wait to get down with it on my lunch break.
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
@SilverDragon1979,
Oh my gosh, I am totally with you. I almost didn't watch it (or share it). It doesn't reveal too much at all, though. It is a nice tease.
But I don't blame you. I would hate to ruin the experience of this movie for anyone. <3
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
AWESOME! yeah, I just LOVE Disney stuff... Beauty and the Beast is still one of my favorites! :)

Thanks for the video!
Knives's Destructoid Blog
OMG Chad, I wanna see it now!

Is that JOHN GOODMAN!?
naia-the-gamer's Destructoid Blog
Chad, can we go see this together? This looks amazing!
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
I was sort of excited.

Then I found out Keith David was the villain, and had a song.

Then I fapped and bought tickets.
garison's Destructoid Blog
Ugh. Looks so amazing, Chad.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
Wow........

@Chad and Naia
I'll buy the popcorn if you take me with you!
Tascar's Destructoid Blog
I was excited for this film as a long-time Disney fan but I confess that the trailers never really captured me. Watching this 5-minute opening however, has really fired me up about this film.

@Chad, I liked the song excerpt too, but I also did laugh a little because the bits of the song we heard and its piano accompaniment made me think of that Family Guy episode with Randy Newman singing at his piano about what he sees. :)

@Magnalon, yeah, <3 Keith David.
wanderingpixel's Destructoid Blog
So wonderful. As an animation buff, I'm creaming my pants with anticipation. Anybody see Toy Story 1 and 2 double feature yet? I did, and it was glorious.

Well, I missed the video, but that's OK. I haven't been this excited about a non-Pixar Disney movie in a long time!

I'm fine that it's gone, I planned to resist watching till it hits theaters.

"I haven't been this excited about a non-Pixar Disney movie in a long time!"

Possibly, for me, since Mulan!

This is racist and sexist because there's a black woman in it and thats racist because she's black
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
Ou Chad I can't wait for this movie~
Corak's Destructoid Blog
While I do have a special place in my heart for Disney movies I have seen as a child I just can't get behind them anymore. I've seen too many "Princess Complex" girls and women to support another princess movie. I love ya Chad but this is one movie I'll definetly be skipping.
lovemana23's Destructoid Blog
I was just last night thinking how cool it would be to have more old school, fanatastical 2D disney animation films, with all the gnarley trees and gorgeous backgrounds, as I saw a trailer for the remastered Sleeping Beauty, at the beginning of Ratatouille. And, lo and behold, there are, and this article jogged my memory of you mentioning it on a RFGO. WELL up for this!
gatorsax2010's Destructoid Blog
@Magnalon
I think Mulan was the last really good Disney animated movie. A couple after that had their moments, but Mulan fits in the classic Disney style much better than, say, Lilo & Stitch. I remember being surprised at how much I really enjoyed it.
Bat Country's Destructoid Blog
oh god whyyy is it gone
Tattoojoe3rd's Destructoid Blog
Sweet tap dancing baby jesus this movie is going to be awesome sauce old school disney style. Oh and Chad wanted to tell you me and the wife played a 5 hour game of Disney Charades last night if you see it you should buy it right away. Hours of fun for when you have Disney fans over for adult beverages.
