The Frogs are Escaping Early!

Okay, it's been officially announced so I can pass it on:

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Limited release NY & LA 25 Nov 2009
Nationwide* release 11 Dec 2009

That's a month earlier than the original schedule, in case you didn't know. It's very smart business-wise but at the same time AAAAAAH. Did I mention I'm busy? :)

*and presumably Canadian

Oh man, I'd been wanting to ask you about that, ever since I noticed the competition Frog would have with the other date, and after you mentioned a big Disney meeting. And this new date doesn't affect A Christmas Carol either :)

I wonder what the international release dates will be...

I've also been meaning to ask (hoping you can answer), are you directly animating scenes on the movie or are you storyboarding or doing bg or what? *is curious*

Awright! When it comes out you'll have to tell us what you all did on it. :)

This sort of release schedule (start on the coasts) is one that is typically undertaken by studios when they feel the film is something special. This I find encouraging.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Saw some of the teaser shots for Princess and the Frog while checking out part of "The View" on Disney today that you mentioned...love how it was lumped in as "3D" animation with the rest of the Pixar films and Bolt :P...but, actually, I was really impressed by what I saw. Must be quite an amazing project to be part of ;) If the overall quality of it turns out anything like "The Little Matchgirl," "One by One," or "Lorenzo"...I'll be quite a happy camper.
