Look familiar? Our beloved ”Castle” provided the inspiration to the animators for the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog. The film is from the Disney Animated Classics 2D line, the latest since 2004 with Home on the Range. From the makers of the classics Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog is sure to be a holiday favorite.
The movie is a “modern twist on a classic tale” which takes place in a 1920’s New Orleans. Prince Naveen is placed under a spell that turns him into a frog, and the only way to break the spell is to be kissed by a princess. Unsuspecting Princess Tiana believes she is coming to his rescue but is transformed into a frog as well. The two royal frogs travel through the Louisiana Bayous to find the good Voodoo priestess, Mamma Odie, for she holds the key to break the spell.
In cooperation with the New Orleans CVB, Disney hosted a group of American and European journalists to tour the French Quarter and experience outdoor adventures such as swamp and plantation tours. Nottoway hosted the group for a private dinner with Chef David Reyes, an overnight stay and mansion tour. The Princess and the Frog video game is available now and make sure to catch the movie, it leapt into theatres December 11!
