We have a treat today. A guest review of a the new Disney film The Princess and the Frog by Alex Dale - Teenager. :)
Without further ado I give you Alex.
Dear humble readers of this blog, what you are about to read may have a little teenage angst in it but I'm sorry. I could not hold my tongue about this film. The film to which I write to you about is Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" (sigh), yes folks my life has hit rock bottom I am reviewing "The Princess and the Frog". There are very many reasons why this movie has royally ticked me off enough to leave my teenage lazy state of being, and write on this wonderful God-given vacation. Disney, Disney, Disney, tsk tsk tsk where do I begin. Since when did Disney start becoming political in what movies they made I mean come on we all know why this movie was made, it was to calm down a certain group of Disney fans from having an epilepsy attack about not having their own princess; hence why this movie was made! Well, well, well, where’s my beautiful Latina princess, ooooo can she be played by Salma Hayek and in the end have a song performed by the Gypsy Kings. This is when Disney says "No I'm afraid we cannot do that young man it might be offensive to some of our viewers." BULL$H!+ its because Disney won't feel a big hit in their pocket books if my group of people stop coming to Disneyland, buying costumes, or stop buying Disney films. Hence we have Mulan, Pocahontas, Jasmine, and all of the rest. Don't get me wrong in this review I am not a racist I just don't like the fact that political statements are now coming in the form of Disney Movies (well I guess they always have been). Any one seen Disney's "Der Fuehrer's Face", Donald Duck is a Nazi for Christ's sake check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZcs1SHVbz0 . Don't let me stray off topic; another thing that pisses me off about this film is the fact that the whole movie was one big freaking stereotype. I mean come on did Disney honestly think nobody would notice the accents, jazz playing, or the fact that only the white people in New Orleans lived in a mansion, I don't think so. How about at the beginning of the film when we found out that Tiana grew up without a father. That was offensive to me. What about the fact that there were no in the middle white people in that film, none that weren't really greedy and stuck up, or really retarded and uneducated. To finish off this very strong-willed review I would also like to add why did Ne-yo get to perform a song in the credits. Ne-yo? Really? Why not BB King or Stevie Wonder or even John Legend? Apparently Disney must have got a great deal in the price Ne-yo was asking for, because he is just awful. In total this movie was very fun for children who do not comprehend the concept of stereotypes. It was complete eye candy with all of the beautiful colors and such, and I guess the moral isn't half bad (hard work doesn't pay it is only true love that will get you what you want). The soundtrack wasn't so bad either. So I definitely wouldn't boycott the film I just would take my kids to see it and make sure that they have a good time, and that is it. All and all this movie was not terrible just minor errors that need to be addressed. Anyways thanks readers to listening to my review.
Sincerely Your Guest Writer,
