Walt Disney Animation Studios’ soon-to-be-released 2D animated featureThe Princess and the Frog carries a large burden into the cinemas. Many in the animation community were dubious of claims that 2D was dead, as many claimed 6 years ago, but now as the studio that brought the medium to prominence returns to its roots, we all hold our breath. But it’s not about the medium in the end – it all comes down to story, and in this clip below, we get a good glimpse of the set-up. The feature, which was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, is in theaters December 11, 2009.
Back in October, the Blu-ray version of the newly restored Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs DVD released, and today the DVD hits the shelves. As with many Disney animated releases, they’re only releasing this “diamond edition” of the classic 1937 film in stores for a limited time.
If you’re within range of Hollywood this coming Monday night, consider attending a cast and crew screening of Waking Sleeping Beauty. The film centers on the revival of Walt Disney Animation that started in 1984. Tickets are going fast, so get your RSVP sorted out now.
