Walt Disney To Make 'Frog Princess'

[Thursday, July 27th, 2006]
Walt Disney Feature Animation is getting back into the business of traditional animation with Frog Princess, a new twist on a classic fairy tale, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Disney Animation's new leaders Ed Catmull and John Lasseter may have earned their reputation as computer-animation maestros at Pixar Animation Studios, but now that they are overseeing Disney's animation efforts, they also are interested in exploring Disney's 2-D tradition.

The studio is putting John Musker and Ron Clements in charge of developing "Frog," which promises, according to sources, to put a female spin on the tale of the Frog Prince. Musker and Clements demonstrated their ability to spin a popular tale around a female protagonist with 1989's "The Little Mermaid."
