First of all, let me just say that my wife and I LOVED "The Princess and the Frog" and were thoroughly entertained. However, I couldn't help noticing some things I might not have been sensitive to before our class.
First of all was this scene. I definitely laughed, but I would not want my kids acting out these things.
One other little thing I noticed was in the last scene it shows Tiana's (the Princess's) friend dancing with the Naveen's (the Prince's) little 6-year-old brother and she says something about how she can wait for him (suggesting she wants to marry him to become a princess). The thought crossed my mind of what a double standard this was. It was meant to be cute and funny, but if the roles were switched - a grown young man dancing with a 6-year-old girl implying that he wanted to marry her - then it would seem creepy and unacceptable.
Anyways, these were just a few passing thoughts I wanted to share. If you haven't seen this movie yet, go see it!

I really enjoyed the movie, but the villain really creeped me out. I don't know if I would've been able to handle that as a kid!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this movie!!! I seriously was like dancing at the theator while watching it, but in true disney style I am not sure it is such a good idea for kids. It's kinda creepy in many wanys.
