The Princess and the Frog (2009)
So Disappointing
I am very disappointed in Disney for this film. Here we have Disney's first Black/African American princess and she's poor, almost like a servant to a white blonde haired woman and she spends 96% of the movie as a frog! On top of that the movie is scary and dark, the songs aren't memorable (the music is an important part of Disney, I was just so upset that I couldn't remember one song after leaving the theater) and the characters and their drawls is just unsettling. If I recall correctly some were missing teeth and had the most obnoxious offensive accents that you could give a character in a movie about a black princess. The animation was not breathtaking as many of Disney's movies usually are. The animation was flat and dry.
Why couldn't the princess marry a black man? Most of all the Disney princesses have married/fell in love with someone of their race with the exception of Pocahontas which is historically based so it does not count. They could have made a beautiful princess and give her an interesting and intriguing background and setting. I can't stand that they went to New Orleans for this one, just why?
Disney should just erase Tiana, pretend like she never existed and start from scratch completely. This princess deserves better than that.
The Break-In (2016)
Just a bunch of talking
I felt like this whole movie was basic everyday conversation. It was flat. I can't believe that I was already 55 minutes into the movie and just feeling what little suspense there was. I was left confused with so many questions. The plot was not strong or even fully developed. I was very annoyed at the cellphone-found footage format that the movie was set in.
The actors were great and very strong. They did a wonderful job at bringing the characters to life. The movie could have been so much better especially given the craft of the actors.I felt like their talent went to waste.
I am just overall confused with this one.
