Broke and in search of romance, and a wealthy wife, the Prince is instead seduced by the town\u2019s evil voodoo magician, Dr. Facilier (voiced by KEITH DAVID).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Facilier\u2019s evil plan is to fleece Big Daddy (voiced by JOHN GOODMAN), and sets in motion a series of events by transforming the Prince into a frog, and having the Prince\u2019s servant take his place in proposing marriage to Big Daddy\u2019s daughter Charlotte (voiced by JENNIFER CODY).<\/p>\n<p>The now \u201cfrog Prince\u201d mistakes the beautiful Tiana for true royalty, as an accident leaves her wearing Charlotte\u2019s clothes. Promising her enough money to fulfil her dream on the proviso that she agrees to kiss him to break the spell, a hilarious twist of fate occurs with the spell being far from broken: Tiana herself turns into a small, green frog!<\/p>\n<p>The pair must now travel into the mystical bayous of Louisiana in search of Mama Odie (voiced by JENNIFER LEWIS) , a friendly, blind and powerful Voodoo magician who has the power to reverse the curse and turn them back to their true form.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of a music-loving, guitar playing alligator named Louis and a love-struck firefly to light the way called Ray, a magical adventure begins that sets the scene for the founding of the first Disney Princess in eleven years.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the book <em>The Frog Princess<\/em> by E.D. Baker, <strong>The Princess and the Frog<\/strong> comes to life with an exceptional jazz score, amazing hand-drawn animation, and an all-star voice cast that also includes TERRENCE HOWARD and OPRAH WINFREY.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Princess and the Frog<\/strong> also comes to DVD and Blu-ray with exceptional bonus features including deleted scenes, audio commentary, games and activities.<\/p>\n<p>In a DVD release that will have the whole family spellbound, <strong>The Princess and the Frog<\/strong> is a magical journey through the mystical bayous of Louisiana not to be missed when released to DVD and in a Blu-ray\/DVD Value Pack 16 June 2010!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Available to own: 16 June 2010<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rated: G<\/p>\n<p>Running time:\u00a0 94 Mins<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Princess and the Frog is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.\u00a0 A division of Walt Disney Studios (US), Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment is the worldwide marketing, sales and distribution company for all Walt Disney, Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures and Buena Vista DVD releases.\u00a0 Buena Vista is the Australian sell-through market leader and has been a recognised world video \/ DVD industry leader for over a decade<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Princess and the Frog marks the return of the classically hand drawn animated Disney musical in a fairytale setting in the mystical bayous of Louisiana, released to Disney DVD and Blu-ray\/DVD Value Pack, 16 June 2010!
