The Princess and the Frog in 35mm
The Princess and the Frog in 35mm
This animated musical was inspired by E. D. Baker’s book The Frog Princess—a reimagining of the Brothers Grimm classic The Frog Prince—and moves the story to 1920s New Orleans. The film features Disney’s first Black princess, Tiana. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, the team responsible for such modern classics as The Little Mermaid (1989) and Aladdin (1992), The Princess and the Frog was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film and twice-nominated for Original Song, for composer Randy Newman’s “Almost There” and “Down In New Orleans.”
