Disney - once the leading studio in traditional hand-drawn 2D animation - returns to the genre with their latest release, the musical fairytale The Princess and the Frog, based upon E.D. Baker's book The Frog Princess. The studio has just released the first trailer for the movie (embedded below), while the folks over at Cinematical have also got their hands on the official teaser poster (be sure to check out the link for a high resolution version). In The Princess and the Frog, Toni Award winning singer Anika Noni Rose voices the heroine Tiana, a young waitress living in New Orleans who is asked by Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos) to help break a spell that has turned him into a frog. However rather than lifting the curse Tiana's kiss sees her join Prince Naveen as a frog and the two must set about tracking down the a 200 year-old Voodoo priestess, Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis), who has the power to turn them back.
The Princess and the Frog is set for release this December and also features the vocal talents of Keith David, John Goodman, Terrence Howard, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Cummings and Michael-Leon Wooley.
