Princess producer Peter del Vecho commented on this point. "There is a whole new generation now that hasn't experienced a great musical, hasn't experienced a big, epic fairy tale," he said.
Ron Clements and John Musker were chosen for the job - the same writer-director team that created The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. I love the comedy and fresh outlook of both these movies, and it is pretty likely that their third project will be as enchanting as their first two.
Princess will greatly affect the next generation of Disney movies. If it fails, hand-drawn animation will be labeled outdated and fade into a childhood memory. If it succeeds, traditional animations may start to combine with modern stories to create a comeback.
Lasseter holds great enthusiasm for the newest princess movie. "If there was a single lesson we could take from Walt himself to take Walt Disney Animation Studios into the future," he said, "it is to leverage the richness of its past," he said. "Its beloved storytelling forms, its successful characters, its musical opulence - all of these are an essential part of our newest hand-drawn project."
The movie seems to have all the ingredients of a spectacular fairy tale, and I eagerly await Dec. 11 when it comes out into theaters. Nothing can beat a classic Disney princess movie. Not only will that tin lunchbox have a new addition, but ladies, next Halloween, you will have yet another princess costume option.

This 'PRINCESS FROG the story of maddie' movie is
not acceptable. Its disturbing how hollywood producers suddenly throw in a black princess during the Obama era, such hypocrites, they don't care about the black cause except to make money, they are a group of White people who probably send their kids to expensive private schools with as little black kids as possible.
