Now those are great featurettes, far less spoiler-laden than the last trailer.
And I’m absolutely delighted to see the level of enthusiasm of the animators (especially Andreas Deja 
) and the quality of the animation that was shown.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I want to see this film, like, yesterday. 
Just to let you guys know, you can find both featurettes (“Return”, “Animator”) as well as “Legacy” on the official website under the bayou section.
Thanks for the heads-up, Bill! I haven’t been to the website for a while - nice to have everything all in one place. 
Also, I’m liking the little clips of background music they have on there…sounds totally jazzy and New Orleans-y! Definitely looking forward to hearing Randy Newman’s score for this.
Here’s the discussion on the film at this year’s Comic-Con:
Every new clip makes me more excited for this movie. It looks WONDERFUL! I like how Tiana and Naveen are going to build their relationship from the bottom up…a bit more fun to watch, ya know? I think I’m really going to like the music. I kinda like that old southern style, its catchy.
woody - OMG, that clip is TOO adorable! I love it!
Bill - Thanks for the Comic-Con clip! I like the crowd reaction - that is what I feel like doing every time I see something new.
Also, did you guys get this e-mail from Disney called “Wish On a Star”? It’s updated on the website, but you can make your own wish on a star, just like Princess Tiana! Really cute. I made my wish!
I agree! It’s sweet to see [spoil]Tiana and Charlotte as childhood friends! BFF! The part of kissing the toy frog was also great foreshadowing.[/spoil]
A new preview clip has been released, and there is more footage of Dr. Facilier! I think he’s gonna be another great baddie in the tradition of Disney villains; the kind that is so irresistibly malevolent and carries out his evil plans with maniacal glee along the lines of the Bowler Hat Guy and Hades.
The Inside Line with Ron and John
Thanks to femalemiya for the heads up!
All those in progress animations made me so friggin’ happy. Man, I could watch that film on mute and not care. The work there looks fabulous!
I’ve actually met one of the animators featured in the “Legacy” clip, Eric Goldberg; the one who worked on Genie and Phil. Sat next to him at a film festival last year. It was like sitting next to one of the Nine Old Men.
But this movie is going to be so motivating. It’s exciting!
Heh… this looks like a promising movie! Tiana looks like she’s viable to turn out to be as good to join the ranks of the Disney Princesses.
There are two new featurettes under the bayou section of the website: “Villian”, and “In-Progress Animation”.
I am, like, obsessed with this movie. I need it out. NOW.
Hurry up, December!
LOL! 
I totally agree! December can’t get here fast enough…
Here’s the “Villain” video that Bill was talking about: [url]http://www.cartoonbrew.com/brewtv/princessandfrog.html[/url]
Looks like another epic Disney bad guy (the shadows are creepy) - and I gotta say, Keith David has one awesome villainous voice. I’m also obsessed with the movie - four months to go yet!
It looks fantastic! 
And also funny. Though to be honest, [spoil]I’m not that fond of the firefly…[/spoil] but, anyway, I can’t wait for this! Maybe it’s just me, but the idea of [spoil]the alligator joining them on their journey to be human[/spoil] slightly reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, not that there’s anything not to like about that. I wonder if we’ll see more of Tiana in a frog form than in a human form.
I almost pee in my pants every time I see something new from this film.
BDD: I can definitely see the similarities to TWOZ… I think they also (unintentionally) reference a few Pixar flicks and even a Disney one as I mention in my comments below…
woody: Be sure to change once you’ve performed your involuntary actions!
…
As for what I think… my word, the new trailer looks absolutely marvelous!
I think Louis will be a favourite of mine, although Tiana and Dr. Facilier will be amazing too! Naveen and Fry are a bit annoying at the moment, but I’m sure they’ll be charming in their own way once we’ve seen them in the entire movie’s context.
I love the Up and A Bug’s Life references too, and [spoil]the accidental kiss reminded me of Lady and the Tramp[/spoil]. Though I wish they didn’t reveal that in the trailer…
But never mind, the new trailer hasn’t proved contrarian to my opinion so far, which means this movie will still be the one to look forward to this winter (or Oz summer). To heck with the twits who think this is racist (I didn’t see as big a @#$*storm stirred up about Aladdin and Mulan…), this is gonna be spectacular!
Thanks for the scoop, Rare Addict!
Totally, dude. It even says in the commerical, “It’s what’s under the skin that counts”. I hate it when people get all crazy over the little things.
Personally, I’m not looking forward to this movie, but I’m not not looking forward to it. I’ll probably end up seeing it with my little sister.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, mo! Except for the not not looking forward to it part. I, on the other hand, am so looking forward to it, heh!
Two new games now available to play on the official site:
Tiana’s Tiara - An easy and straightforward point-and-click adventure game. I completed it in minutes, but it provided a good preview of the movie’s various locales!
Louis’s Band on the Bayou - Another piece of cake game, but it’s so much fun hearing Louis rip a swingin’ number with his trumpet while he jiggles! I like how you hit the bad guys with musical notes!
Just go to the official site and click on Dr. Facillier’s.
