Written by steet :
Yes, there is a new Source site! Maybe not the one you expected (don't worry, the english version of Spirit Source is still on its way)
Nonetheless, this is an important one.

Why is Princess & The Frog important?
The main reason is simple : this upcoming film is Disney's comeback to traditional animation!
Let's remember : in 2003, Disney closed down their 2D animation department, deciding to stop making more "line drawn" animated films like their past glories from the 90's : The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast... That decision was based mainly on the fact that CGI films earned more at the time than their films (Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, ...), which lead to the release of films like Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, The Wild. (which, you'll admit, are anything but amazing) And not only Disney, but all the major companies stopped producing theatrical 2D films, which meant no more quality films like Balto or All Dogs Go To Heaven!
In 2006, Disney bought Pixar, in an attempt to gain more of the CGI market. Consequently, Ed Catmull and John Lasseter became lead of the animation departement, and decided to revive the tradition of Disney's hand-drawn animated films. And this is their first result!
In other words, if Princess & The Frog bombs at the box office, you can forget getting new 2D animated films for the next decade. We want to see more diversity, there is a place for all kinds of films (2D, CGI, stop motion) on the market! This is the film that will decide the fate of 2D animation, for the whole industry.
The film is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who previously worked on Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Hercules. This means it's also a return to the musical style of films, which is something you might like or not, but is part of the tradition of Disney films and has been missing since a long time. By the way, it's also the longest 2D animated film made by Disney : 1 hour and 40 minutes! And rest assured : considering the rave reviews the film has been getting, it's already a classic!
The Princess & The Frog is set for a wide release on December 11th, 2009 in the USA, in theaters only!
