The Princess and the Frog

One of the things that I love about this video is how the music is very different than a lot of typical Disney songs, which is reflected in the animation - less bold lines and using a more tonal approach. the warm colors work nicely with the upbeat tempo of the song, and they don't change drastically throughout the video, with the music staying at a steady rhythm throughout the video. The music is less childlike and more sophisticated, and the video uses longer and more swirly shapes. I think this shows quite well how the idea of this film moves slightly further away from the stereotypical Disney Princess kind of plot and theme; The Princess and the Frog feels much more like a coming of ago kind of film, and shows goal that involve work and careers rather than just a girl dreaming of romance. I think that the style of the animation shows Tiana's attempts to stand out, and to have a very put together sort of plan, and using the sort of smoother music that appeals to a slightly older audience than the sort of pop-ish kind you would find in Hercules or The Little Mermaid helps to cement this idea.
