We took Rachel to see "The Princess and the Frog." Doug and I felt it was not comparable to the spectacular stories, songs or humor of "The Lion King" or "The Little Mermaid." It was a cute story with some very funny parts. I liked the princess. She was a hard worker who learned that you can let down your guard and have some fun...sometimes. But, we were glad that Rachel fell asleep before the villain was introduced. Doug and I felt that the villain and his voodoo companions were far too scary for a G rated movie. Shadows are a concept that young children understand. As a child I was prone to nightmares. The idea that scary shadows could sneak up and carry me away would have kept me up for a month.
All in all, I could take it or leave it. I probably won't buy it for my collection.
