Summary: touching version of the classic tale
Comment: This is is one of my favorite of the cannon movie tale series. It has a great moral which is to stand by your friends no matter what especially if they are in trouble. I like the princess character portrayed by the girl from annie. She was alot nicer than the princess in the origioanl story. In that varsion the princess didn't keep her promise to the frog and threw him against the wall and killed him. Thre frof then became a prince. The mean character in this version is helen hunt's character. She became jealous of her younger sister and captured the frog and put him in a deep hole. TRhe good princess whose name is zora was able to rescue her friend and her love for him broke the witche's spell and turned him back in to a prince. Zora was in cometition with her cruel sister to be crowed as a true princess. The princ3e was able to get zora to the ceramony on time and she was crowned. This movie is my favorite besides snow white,beauty and the beast,sleeping beauty,and rumelstiltskin

Summary: My favorite since age 6
Comment: I love the songs, the setting, and Zora's character.

Zora does all she can to be a true princess. After being mocked by her sister and the court, but receiving no aid from "Uncle," Zora retreats to solitude and the comfort of her lucky golden ball. Just when it seems life couldn't get any worse, Zora's golden ball sinks to the bottom of a deep fountain. Life seems to be unbearable.

Suddenly a "too tall frog' (wonderful song there) appears and in exchange for the frog rescuing the ball, she becomes his friend. Through the eyes of the frog, nicknamed "ribbit", Zora learns that she is lovable, and begins to gain confidence.

Ribbit promises to help her prepare for an important ceremony that evening which will determine the identiry of the one and only true princess. When morning comes, Ribbit is nowhere to be found. Zora discovers he is in terrible danger and leaves the palace to look for him-- understanding that she may well forfeit her chance of being the true princess by missing the ceremony. Her Uncle tries to stop her from going to save Ribbit, but she asks him desperately on her way out of the palace: "I think friends more important, don't you?"

Natually there is a happy ending, life's lessons are learned, and all that. This movie has been a friend for me. I have it memorized completely (including music cues!) and adore it. I still watch it occasionally.

Summary: Very Good
Comment: I watched this movie only once, when I was about ten years old. I must admit, I have never forgotten it and it is one of my favourite movies of all time. I am most disappointed that the DVD is not available; hopefully, it will be eventually...

The story is the typical tale about a Prince enchanted by magic, and only true love will set him free. The "twist" is in the fact that it is not romantic love that does this, but that of true friendship. Maybe this is why I love it so much...

The acting was okay, and the movie did drag at times, but the singing was wonderful... I still remember the songs... my favourites being "Have you forgotten me...", and "Friendship". They may not be the actual titles of the songs, but if you saw the movie, you know to which songs I refer.

Final thought: Wonderful movie; if you ever find it, watch it! (And tell me where you got it!!) ;)

Summary: can you say 'nostalgia?'
Comment: I havn't seen this movie in almost 10 years. I agree with everyone else who left reviews, and this was my favorite movie when I was growing up. I popped it in the vcr the other day, and I found that I still remember every word, every line. It's a heartwarming story with a good message, and it still makes me cry!
