T and I just saw the Princess and the Frog. I've seen a lot of stuff about it focusing on race, but nothing much from a Louisiana perspective, so I thought I'd try my hand. Overall, let me say I liked the movie. The story is good, the music is good, the message is good, and I thought the race issues (unavoidable since the movie is set in New Orleans in the 1920s or so) were dealt with subtly and with taste - the undertones ought to go right over the heads of small children but be obvious to teens and adults, which I think is just right. There were, however, enough points that jumped out to me as a local that I started to wish I'd brought a notepad. Let's see how I do working from memory.
