A great movie whether you're a child, or just a big kid at heart. This one is in the tradition of the older Disney musicals like Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins, and the animation is similar. It doesn't get too detailed or look overly done. It is a simple tale set in New Orleans around the 1930's about a young girl Tiana who has a dream of buying her own restaurant.
She has been working 2 jobs for years to save up enough money, and when it seems she's about to achieve her dream, a voodoo witch doctor comes in and ruins it by meddling with a visiting prince. I don't want to give away too much, but this is a heartwarming movie, with great muscial numbers, a wonderful cast of characters, and some very moving parts both happy and sad. Definitely a rental and if you have kids, buy it. Of course you may end up watching it 500 times, but isn't that the case with every kids movie?
