Okay I'm a week late but here it is, finally!
If I can be honest this is a movie I'm not really that excited about watching again. Any time I watched it in the past I wasn't that interested but now that I've been watching 더 많이 디즈니 again lately maybe I'll enjoy it!
Tonight's rewatch: The Princess and the Frog
Last time watched: 2013
How much did I like this movie as a kid?
When I first watched this movie I was 16 years old and kinda going through a "I hate Disney" faze. It wasn't that I hated all the 디즈니 영화 since during that time I was still watching the classics like Hunchback of Notre Dame and Dinosaur (yes, I like to think it's a classic even with the plot being a bit of a Land Before Time ripoff), it was mostly the newer 영화 I didn't like. After 집 on the Range, Chicken Little, and The Wild, I was beginning to lose interest in whatever 디즈니 put out that was animated, unless it was Pixar. Meet the Robinsons was probably the only movie that was "recently" released that I loved and Bolt was only a little enjoyable at the time. Because of this (and commercials spoiling the ending when the dvd came out) I almost didn't watch Princess and the Frog at all until my sister, who just had a baby and would only watch 만화 when around her, invited me to watch the movie with her. The movie had just come out on dvd and I wasn't too interested but I figured, "what the heck?" As I had predicted, however, the movie didn't keep my interest. I think the only parts of the movie I really liked were Almost There and 프렌즈 on the Other Side. I watched it again a few years later and I don't remember if I even liked it then either which is not a good sign. I'm going to try giving this movie another chance since it has been 6 years maybe my opinion will change.
How much of this movie have I forgotten:
I've said a few times that James was one of my 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 dads and this movie reminds me why. We see him only for a few 분 but his scenes with his family really stick 의해 me and I 사랑 all his lines. And I loved that even after coming 집 so tired and sore he never took it out on his family, he kept a smile on his face and made sure his wife and daughter knew how much he loved them.
I'm also remembering why I 사랑 샬럿, 샬 롯 so much. She's a spoiled princess, yeah, but that doesn't stop her from being such a great friend to Tiana. 디즈니 could have had 샬럿, 샬 롯 turn out to be a 퀸 B-Word and look down on Tiana but she plays with Tiana when they're kids, she hires Tiana to help cater Big Daddy's party, lent Tiana a nice dress when her's was ruined, and when Tiana and Naveen showed how much they loved each other 샬럿, 샬 롯 put aside her dream to try helping Tiana be with the man/frog she loved. 샬럿, 샬 롯 may have wanted to be a princess, but I like to see her as the Fairy Godmother of the movie. And I 사랑 her sass.
This isn't something I've really forgotten but some things I'm noticing in Facilier's lair every time I watch this movie, like his 바탕화면 showing skull and crossbones when his shadow is on it, when his face becomes a skeleton it's the skull and crossbones on his hat, and him hinting he's turning Naveen into a frog ("hop from place to place", one of the tarot cards showing Naveen on a lilypad made of money, him seeing green in Naveen's future)
And I totally forgot how much of a jerk Naveen was at first. I know the Beast and Flynn/Eugene were jerks at first too but they at least didn't treat women the same way Naveen did 또는 looked down on someone for being a waitress. He even blamed Tiana for "tricking him" into believing that she was a princess and blamed her for the 키스 not working. He's 더 많이 likeable later at least. I still don't like him as much as Flynn/Eugene though, but that's mostly for biased reasons.
The frog hunters were definitely forgettable too. The only time I ever remember them is when I'm actually watching the movie because we only see them for a few 분 and they're never seen 또는 talked about again.
I 사랑 Mama Odie so much too! Just as much as I 사랑 the Good 요정 from Sleeping Beauty.
레이 and Louis were funny sidekicks but I still don't really like them as much as Mushu and Cri-kee 또는 Timon and Pumbaa. Ray's relationship with Evangeline has to be one of my 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 relationships. I actually like 레이 and Evangeline 더 많이 than Tiana and Naveen together. Even at 16 I was so sad that 레이 died and I still felt sad when he died. At least he and Evangeline were finally really together in the end.
Princess:
Tiana is one of the fictional characters I look up to on how working hard will help your dreams come true and she's one of the characters who got me so interested in cooking. I've seen a lot of people say Tiana was too harsh on other people and I don't really see it. The only times I saw her be harsh was when someone was disrespecting her 또는 when Naveen was being lazy. As someone who had to work two very exhausting jobs like Tiana did, I can understand her frustration when Naveen just called her a waitress and a stick in the mud. The only real complaint I had about her is she got angry at Naveen for doing what he said he would do (he technically didn't tell her his feelings yet and he hadn't made it clear to him yet that she had any feelings for him) and she didn't even realize that "Naveen" was human and yet she was still a frog. What she said to 레이 was definitely going too far too. Tiana was 12 on my list but I'm going to bump her up to 10
Movie:
I have to say I had fun! I wish the froghunters scene was left out 또는 had an actual point and I wish Tiana didn't get mad at Naveen for doing what he said he would do (or at least Lawrence doing it) and vice versa but I wasn't bored while watching this movie and like I said, I had fun! Princess and the Frog was 9 on my list but for now I'm going to leave it there.
Rating: 7/10
How much has my opinion changed?
My opinion for this movie since the first time I watched it has changed a lot in a good way. Ten years really makes a difference I guess :P
Would I watch it again?
Yes
Since I'm behind on a few 영화 I will be doing Maleficent today as well and Pocahontas II and 신데렐라 will be done tomorrow :)
If I can be honest this is a movie I'm not really that excited about watching again. Any time I watched it in the past I wasn't that interested but now that I've been watching 더 많이 디즈니 again lately maybe I'll enjoy it!
