Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
What matters is that Tiana triumphs as both a girl and a frog, that dreams are fulfilled, wrongs are righted, love prevails, and music unites not only a princess and a frog but also kids and grown-ups.

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
Marks Disney's rediscovery of a strong narrative loaded with vibrant characters and mind-bending, hilarious situations.

Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey
The dialogue is fresh-prince clever, the themes are ageless, the rhythms are riotous and the return to a primal animation style is beautifully executed.

Salon Mary Elizabeth Williams
The sweetest, most sincere romantic comedy to come along in ages, and a luminous love letter to a great American city.

USA Today Claudia Puig
Emphasizes backing up wishes with hard work. That proviso is a thoughtful message for young moviegoers.

New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Part of the problem with "P&F" is that Tiana and Naveen's connection feels superficial.

Time Out David Fear
Eye-candy–wise, the film plants a big wet smooch; everything else about this happily-ever-after tale, however, feels like a mere air-kiss.

Variety Justin Chang
This cheeky update of a classic fairy tale boasts almost as many talking points as merchandising opportunities.

Village Voice
The Princess and the Frog is pleasantly, if unmemorably, drawn. But the movie as a whole never approaches the wit, cleverness, and storytelling brio of the studio's early-1990s animation renaissance (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) or pretty much anything by Pixar.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis
It’s not easy being green. But to judge from how this hand-drawn movie addresses, or rather strenuously avoids, race, it is a lot more difficult to be black.
