Oct 6 2009 First Five Minutes of 'Princess and the Frog': It's No 'Circle of Life'

Remember how, in The Lion King, Disney kicked open your skull doors and gave your brain a charliehorse right from the start with "Circle of Life"? Such powerful music! So much reverent African wildlife!

May 11 2009 'Princess and the Frog' is So Groundbreaking

Disney's The Princess and the Frog brings forth two important landmarks for the studio: the return of theatrically-released 2-D animation and the first time ever a Disney Princess will fight the above horrific fusion of Waluigi and Bubbles from The Wire, which is going to mean a lot to all those little, under-represented girls who have both played Mario sports titles and watched the critically-acclaimed HBO series.

This is the first image from the film, where we see Disney is finally expanding its princess lineup to include African-Americans, but, true to form, only in the most exploitive way possible.
