Not every prince deserves love

The box office says everything. The Princess and the Frog's box office in the United States is just 100 million, which is far from satisfactory compared to her publicity and production. I am personally quite disappointed with this movie.

Most viewers were more impressed with the love-obsessed firefly and the trumpet-loving crocodile than the princess and the frog themselves. These two supporting roles are quite brilliant and make me cry. The prince who loves to sing and dance is also the representative of New Orleans, which is full of jazz. Under his influence, Tiana, who is hard-working and capable, gradually begins to learn to enjoy life happily. Is it really necessary to use princesses, frogs, and fairy tales as gimmicks for such a theme? A movie with a completely different plot from the original is misleading, right? Even the villain, the sorcerer, seemed inexplicable. Why can't we get rid of this cliché? Standing on the shoulders of giants, although he can see far, he cannot go further. Come on, Disney, get something of your own.

Still, the film is very positive. The cute black princess in the cartoon is a breakthrough in the history of animation at Disney and even in the United States. It can be seen that since Obama took office, the tolerance of black people in the United States has become stronger and stronger. This is really a happy thing. When the movie first started, I was worried that Tiana was being bullied by her white friends.

The movie came to an abrupt end in the climax, which really made people feel unfinished and unsatisfactory. The last two frogs turned back into prince and princess at the wedding, so let's say they live happily ever after. I still prefer the Brothers Grimm version, some classics can't be subverted.

Later, when talking about this movie with a friend, his first sentence was Too girly. It seems that most men would not pay to watch such a movie, even the famous Disney.

    Every time I was about to break out of the routine, I was quickly pulled back again, and there was no more benefit than adding a princess to the Disney world. Wondering if it was a "black seat" when Tiana and her mother took the bus home together as a child?

    "Tina" is Disney's first African-American princess, and after the princess kissed the frog, not only did the frog not become a prince, the princess became a frog instead. It's a bit like [Shrek]. Samsung
