Hey folks, Harry here... I collect animation cels - and pencil animation. I love the medium. When Disney decided to lose the tradition of turning Lead to Gold via the medium of 2D animation - a part of my love for Disney died. That the studio was blaming a series of badly developed animated films on the style of animation and not on the fumbling stupidity of micro-management, or simply never having a solid story. Well, I can remember writing those editorials back in the day - and I was so sooooo happy when Michael Eisner left the Mouse House because I hoped that perhaps it would signal a return to traditional animation.

Today, I got an email from a fella named Bert pointing out this YouTube video which gives most of us our first indepth look at THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. I have to say, I'm still not sure where this story is headed exactly, but I'm really loving the look of the film thus far. I imagine that we'll see our first big trailer for this in front of UP - I hope. But we'll have to wait and see. Here ya go...
