I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Very low budget, very evident in the sets of this film with very few known actors. Aileen Quinn (from Annie)her acting is horrible and so is Hellen Hunt's. Words from the actors come out of their mouths as if they have never spoken English before and don't know what the words mean.The "Frog Prince" of the movie would scare children. The Giant frog doesn't seem to scare Aileen Quin's character even though this over 6 foot tall man-frog leaps from the fountain very scary makeup for the man-frog. This Grims Brothers fairy tail is turned into a musical.The songs are oddly placed and are still strange at that.Do not waste your time or your child's time with this movie.
A lovely fairy tale made into a fun and enjoyable musical movie, I grew up watching this movie and loved it enough as a child to watch it over and over again. The songs are still fresh in my memory. Great cast, good acting, with nice characters make the plot engaging - not forgetting the fun songs. Recently saw the movie again and enjoyed it even 20 years later. Seeing it as a grown up was different, but my opinion about it doesn't change. Two princesses, one young and innocent and the older bitter sister, vying to be selected as the true princess of the kingdom, a magic ball, a funny king, and frog who dances and sings, a delightful movie for the whole family.
This is a film I was introduced to by a friend who gave it to me as a Christmas present back in 1988. I have worn out three copies of the film since then sharing it with friends and family. This is one of the films I watch when I am feeling blue. And in spite of its flaws (weak dialog at times and almost saccharine lyrics) it is charming and warms the heart. For me the highlight of the film is John Paragon (probably best known as Jambi the Genie) in the role of the title character. His physicality brings the Frog Prince to life. His mixture of high energy, melancholy and sense of humor showcases this under-rated performer's talent. Aileen Quinn's performance as one of the princesses, is another example of her ability to shine in front of the camera. Every time she cries, I cry. And Helen Hunt as the mean sister is classic. You really want to hate her, but at the same time are feeling sorry that she doesn't understand what it means to "be a princess". Over all a very enjoyable film for children and adults alike.
It is a very good film for kids and for the family. I think that everyone should view it once. It has wonderful music. If kids like story's like this, it would be a good one to see.
