I got to watch The Princess and the Frog for the first time yesterday. What a great movie! The music and story are entertaining, but the highlight of the film is the gorgeous animation.

Though movies like Bolt and Tangled are great too, Disney truly shines when it sticks to traditional 2-D animation. Unfortunately, I don't think kids are as entertained by this old style of animation as much as they used to be. This is why Walt Disney Animation Studios doesn't release movies like The Princess and the Frog and Winnie the Pooh as often as they used to. Computer animation just tends to be more popular.

I hope Disney continues to release more traditionally animated films. I like the pattern of the last few years, where they alternate each year between computer and hand drawn animated movies. This year we get the computer animated Wreck-It Ralph. I can only hope we get a 2-D animated film next year, but it seems they already have another computer animated one in the works.
