"The Princess and the Frog" successfully conveys the lighthearted spirit of the original film, and presents itself as something completely approachable for young girls. Given the film's surprisingly nuanced composition, it is only regrettable that some deeper elements weren't put into play for older audiences.
Sadly, for those seeing the company's name and visualising such classics as Castle Of Illusion, Mickey Mania and Kingdom Hearts, here's another for the miserably long list making up the latter category. Developer Griptonite, with several middling film-based titles to their name, emerge with their iffy reputation relatively unaltered here.

While the movie wasn't quite a traditional retelling of the original tale, the infusion of a New Orleans setting provided a pretty quirky adventure with tons of original music, beautiful animation and solid voice acting that brought to mind classic Disney films of yore."

"Kid-centric games are always fun to review partly because I get to play them with my kids and partly because it forces me to remember that not all games cater to teenagers or adults and that games should be judged based on their target audience. However, kid-centric games also have a certain stigma attached to them in terms of lacking quality and playability. Throw in a movie tie-in and this is usually a recipe for disaster. Fortunately, Disney Interactive's The Princess and the Frog does not appear to be such a game."
