I took my granddaughters, age 6 and 4. The 6 yr. old stayed right with the movie, and the 4 yr. old was way less wiggly than usual. My granddaughters are part Hispanic and Native American, and it was so great to see smart and lovely warm-skinned, dark-brown-eyed women on the screen! Also wonderful was the relationship between the two young women seperated by class and race. The hard work ethic and excellent family relationships makes "Princess and the Frog" a great story even without the terrific musical score. The animation in the swamp scenes is often spectacular. The Shadow Man and voodoo elements are excellent ways to explore spirituality within a child-accessible context. Also,I appreciated the fewer-than usual modern references.
