The Princess and the Frog

UPDATE http://www.simplyandrea.com/?p=929

I’ve always wanted to be a Disney Princess.

What girl ever didn’t?

A couple months ago I began looking into what it takes to be a real Disney princess. I could work at Disney and make little kid’s (and adult’s) dreams come true. It never occurred to me that I didn’t look like any of the princesses until I my research. The closest one is Jasmine and even then, Disney would prefer a white girl to play the part.

The first part of the audition for a face character is purely based on looks.

So I gave up the dream of being a princess and started looking around for roles to play (with Disney) that I could actually pass for, until The Princess and the Frog came out!

Now I finally have a Disney princess that I look like! Woot!!! For my next job, I want to find a birthday party group in the Atlanta area that needs a Princess Tiana. I mean, how cool would it be to get that opportunity?

I’m already practicing her accent… hehe

Anyway, I watched the movie yesterday and LOVE IT!!! 10 out of 10. I love, love, LOVE Disney Princess movies. My favorite of all time is Beauty and the Beast. My second favorite is Aladdin. I just love the innocence and romance and light humor  Disney puts in their movies.

In the Princess and the Frog, I liked how Tiana worked hard to get what she wanted, and I like how love was the important thing not money. I think that’s an important lesson for kids to learn, especially during these hard times, and it’s perfect for the holidays. Growing up in America we get very spoiled, and I’m pointing a finger at me!

The thing I didn’t like was: NOTHING!!!

Go see it and tell me if I’m wrong.

In the meantime, I’m going to practice cooking gumbo, ya’ll
