The Princess and the Frog/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

* [[Accidental Aesop]]: Some people prefer being single, and that's bad.

* [[Acceptable Targets]]: The hillbilly frog hunters are presented as villainous versions of [[The Three Stooges]]. Laugh at their stupidity.

* [[Girl Show Ghetto]]: The movie did okay at the box office for Disney, but not nearly as good as their previous animated films. Disney determined that this trope was the reason and was rumored to [http://articles.latimes.com/2010/nov/21/entertainment/la-et-1121-tangled-20101121 completely shut down adapting fairy tales into movies.] For ''[[Tangled]]'s'' marketing, they completely downplayed the fairy tale-ness of the movie, [http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/09/business/la-fi-ct-disney9-2010mar09 put the male hero character front and center, and marketed like a Dreamworks comedy film.] The advertising brought a whole lot of backlash, but in the end it paid off as ''Tangled'' is so far a success.

** It's funny when you realize that arguably, Princess and the Frog is among the least-girliest Princess movies, alongside ''[[Mulan]]'' and ''[[Pocahontas]]'' - it features a ''very'' menacing villain, a roadtrip, slapstick, strong leads that aren't romantically interested in ~~eachother~~ at all at first.. In comparison, [[Tangled]] is a girlier movie, with less peril, less [[Nightmare Fuel]] and more "princess"-stuff.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In a previous Disney animated feature, ''[[The Lion King]]'', Timon once said that the stars in the sky were 'fireflies that were trapped in that big blue-ish, black thing.' {{spoiler|Ray, a firefly in this movie, was killed by Dr. Facilier and turned into a star in the sky.}}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A while ago, some guy named [[Terry Pratchett]] wrote a novel called ''[[~~Discworld/Witches Abroad|~~Witches Abroad]]'', whose third act was set in a fusion of ~~the '~~''Disney's''' Magic Kingdom and '''New Orleans''', the plot of which involves voodoo and {{spoiler|a prince who's really a frog}}...

** In ''[[The Thing (film)|The Thing]]'', [[Keith David]]'s character calls out the others for believing in "voodoo bullshit". In ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', he plays a voodoo doctor.

* [[Like You Would Really Do It]] {{spoiler|Yeah, like Disney is going to kill off the lovable animal sideki--[[Subverted Trope|wait, what?]] ''[[Tear Jerker|What?!]]''}}
