You're not the only one. The songs sound boring/uninspired/generic, in my opinion. The only song that I find somewhat enjoyable is Almost There. If I enjoy the movie, It definitely won't be because of the music. That being said, I still don't get why Lasseter replaced Menken. It justs doesn't make ...

sorry guys. I thought I had posted Ne-Yo singing the closing song in the princess and the frog thread. Guess I hit the New topic instead. :?

Anyways, with Ne-Yo writing the closing song, maybe none of the songs lend themselves to mainstream music. "Beauty and The Beast", "A whole new world", "Can ...

New Images

just saw the new trailer.

-majority of the trailer consisted of the footage from the john lasseter interview.
-we also got brief glimpses of mama odie and new orleans itslelf.
-sadly, there were no songs shown, or any mention of the film being a musical.
-but the animation was amazing.

Here's some new info:

According to this first source:
-The short premiering in front of "The Princess and The Frog" will be "Tic Tock".
-"The Ballad of Nessie" has been delayed due to the fact that the majority of 2D ...

I'd just love to know if there's a motion to switch this back to traditional animation: it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there was an ambition to do that but it was outweighed by the amount of money Keane has burned through trying to get the CG just right.

I'm pretty sure there is. I ...

If you pay close attention early on in the video you can hear a part of the song princess tiana sings in the film.

Just saw bolt and thought it was an excellent movie. :D Also, I loved the painterly look. It had a distinct look and feel to it. It Didn't look anything like pixars animation style, unlike meet the robinsons. My biggest fear when John lasseter took over production of this film was that it would ...

Does anyone else besides me expect a swap between release dates with The Princess and The Frog and A Christmas Carol? With James Cameron's Avatar coming out only a few days before Princess, it would definitly be more reasonable to release a film that would offer better competion. Besides, wouldn't ...

The trailer was amazing. The animation looks beautiful (I was worried that we were going to see the same quality of animation that was present in Enchanted). I enjoyed the firefly too. Also, Anika’s voice sounds a lot like Lorrell Robinson (the role she played in Dreamgirls).

Found this concept art on a message boad at imdb.com

John Lassetter would be great if only he'd stick to Pixar.

My thoughts exactly

I was just wondering, since part of the disney/pixar deal was for John Lasseter to become Chief Creative Officer of both disney and pixar, what would hapen if he was fired?

Since Randy Newman is working on the songs, do they plan on making this an animated musical or just an animated movie with songs here and there?
