Behind the Scenes of 'The Princess and the Frog'

During a TV special featuring Up, the new Pixar movie due out at the end of the month, John Lasseter discussed The Princess and the Frog, a return to the traditional hand-drawn animation everyone over 30 grew up on. So here's our first real look at the film, which looks exactly like you'd hope it would. I don't believe for a second that Lasseter is concerned about going analog in a digital world, one he helped popularize with Toy Story, because all the Pixar guys know one thing: It's the story. If you tell a good story, it could be told with shadow puppets. And now that I think about it, that's not a bad idea... Anyway, take a look at The Princess and the Frog, which is not presented in the highest quality imaginable, but you can get a feel for what Disney's working on regardless. This is probably the beginning of Disney's marketing push for the film, which opens December 11th. I think we'd be fools not to expect a trailer or something attached to Up on May 29th.

i beliwve your right. I think perhaps they'll wait to release a Toy Story 3 Trailer(whether a teaser or full theatrical), just so the viewers will go and see the princess and the frog which looks fantastic.
