so when news broke about four years ago that their lackluster of a movie Home on the Range would be their last hand drawn film and that they would instead be going the CGI route, i was devastated. how could they just push aside their amazing abilities to bring drawings to life, to make them believable, and to make you want to care about them? and what would Walt think if he knew of what they did?
but, have no fear! they are officially bringing back hand drawn animation!
this is the teaser trailer for The Princess and the Frog, due out in 2009. here's an official synopsis from ComingSoon.net:
A musical set in the greatest city of them all, New Orleans, "The Princess and the Frog" marks Disney's return to the timeless art form of traditional animation. The film teams Ron Clements and John Musker, creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," with Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman to tell the most beautiful love story ever told... with frogs, voodoo, and a singing alligator.
and the most important factor of the film is that it includes the first ever African-American princess, voiced by Dreamgirls' Anika Noni Rose.
after watching this trailer, i felt a surge of true excitement. the same excitement i felt when i first saw trailers for Pocahontas, Hercules, Mulan, and so many others.
enjoy!
