While I applaud Disney's return to hand-drawn animation, this still has problems. My main beef is the overload of New Orleans cliches, at times this resembles an ad for tourists. They include everything, I mean everything, that typically defines New Orleans: an alligator named Louis that plays the trumpet, a Cajun firefly, frogs in the bayou, a voodoo villain, endless pots of gumbo, Riverboats, restaurants, Dixieland, cemeteries, mansions on the Avenue, and on and on. The plot is the standard "group on a mission": main characters are turned into frogs and end up in the swamp, they must get back to New Orleans by midnight and be kissed by a princess or remain frogs forever. They pick up a few buddies along the way and have some diverting adventures.
