"In the end, the prince and the princess lived happily together." Andersen's perfect ending has always been an important magic weapon for Disney animation to please the audience. The release of "Frog" still won a lot of applause and won a lot of praise from the young and old.
Children like lively cartoon images, cheerful and dynamic movie episodes, and exaggerated expressions of various characters. Disney uses extreme imagination to attract children's attention: every character in "The Princess and the Frog" has rich Expressions, the protagonist likes to express his wishes with songs and dances, these factors are undoubtedly very infectious. So how does "The Princess and the Frog" impress adults as a family film?
The protagonist Diana has no prominent identity, no flowery face, just like a Cinderella, but she has been disdainful of the story of "The Frog Prince" since she was a child, "What if I become a prince? I don't want to kiss the ugly frog. What!" This is a girl with a personality that sticks to principles, neither humble nor arrogant, just like a young man who is self-aggrandizing and unruly nowadays, watching her raise her head stubbornly and unyieldingly again and again, how can you not make people appreciate it? He did not feel wronged for the prince, but he worked tirelessly to realize his father's dream, accumulating scattered tips over time. This is similar to many young people who work hard for their dreams. How can we not sincerely admire it? The secluded jungle, the gurgling river, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there are also conspiracies and calculations that are missing. Although she can only be a frog, Diana can stop and take a rest, and her busy mind can finally calm down. Prince Marvin of the Frog indulges in a long-lost pleasure. When we are chasing each other in the fast-paced urban life, when can we drive a small boat into the resting place of the soul? That swipe of light green, that swipe of dark blue, the starlight in the sky, the soothing music seems to disperse the noise around us, the world can be so quiet, the body and mind can be so relaxed, in the real society, we must welcome the baptism of wind and rain , For many viewers who have experienced the cruelty of life, it is almost impossible to allow their childhood memories of fairy tales to be destroyed (unless they are spoofs), Disney dare not take such a risk, and let the princess and the frog prince use love Create miracles, break the curse, and live happily together. Like other similar works, "The Princess and the Frog" wants everyone to believe that love is a huge and magical force, and those who persevere will be happy eventually.
People can disbelieve anything, including fairy tales of course. Real warriors dare to face the bleak life, and smart warriors dare to face the bleak life of others. If they are fairy tales, they can gain hope and faith from them. Today, we still need such fairy tales. story. We find our shadow in the lovely protagonist, and like the persistent protagonist, we can also realize our dreams. More than "the prince and princess live happily ever after". . .

    Prince Naveen: , allow me to introduce myself: I am Prince Naveen

    [Tiana squashes him]

    Prince Naveen: ... of Maldonia.

    Tiana: A prince? But I didn't wish for any... Hold on, if you're the prince, then WHO was that waltzing with Lotte on the dance floor?

    [begins to flip back and forth between the last two pages of the book]

    Tiana: I didn't expect you to answer!

    Prince Naveen: Oh, but you must kiss me. Look, besides being unbelievably handsome, I come from a fabulously wealthy family. Surely, I can offer you some reward or a wish that I could grant, perhaps?

  • Tiana: Where are you taking me?

    Prince Naveen: Oh, I just... wanted to show you a little something to celebrate our last night together as frogs.

    [tugs her up and she sees his set-up of a table and wine bottle]

    Tiana: Oh... All my years. No one's ever done anything like this for me.

    [glances at Naveen and sees he is wearing a butterfly as a bowtie]

    Prince Naveen: Oh, heh, i - it is too much, isn't it? Um...

    [clears throat]

    Prince Naveen: Thank you, Bow.

    Bow: I thought it was a nice touch.

    Bow: Pretend you did not see that.

    [leads Tiana to the table]

    Bow: Please, please sit down.

    [Tiana looks shocked]

    Prince Naveen: No, no, no! You are not a guy! Let me begin again! Uh...
