"The Princess and the Frog"

So this years "The Princess and the Frog" is the first hand drawn Disney movie in 5 years... and it's a New Orleans based musical with songs by Randy Newman. Count me in! According to the Wiki page it was new Disney animation-boss John Lasseter who decided to throw the bland hack composer Alan Menken off the project and get Randy Newman involved. Lasseter is a hero!

(But come to think of it it's a bit sad if the New Orleans of the golden age is now almost becoming like the Baghdad of the famous "Sandman" story "Ramadan" - now it's something out of fairy tales, it doesn't exist in the real world anymore.)

The animation for the frog looks like it's heavily Chuck Jones influenced. Cool!
