The Princess and the Frog (2009) with the voices of Anika Noni Rose, Jennifer Cody, Jennifer Lewis, Keith David, Oprah Winfrey. Tiana (Rose) dreams of opening her own nightspot and restaurant, but when she kisses a frog, she turns into a frog herself. Set in New Orleans during the Jazz Age, this Disney animation is notable principally for the fact that the princess of the title is (at last) an African American. Trouble is, she spends most of the movie as a frog. The animation mostly looks flat, probably because it is -- as opposed to CGI; the songs are uninspired. Still, this will likely appeal to youngsters who still go for animated films. It's a cute movie. The subtitles are good. Grade: B
