As long as they are saying Tiana is their first African American main character and NOT that Tiana and Naveen are their first interracial couple, because they definitely are not! Princess Kida and Milo were their first ;D
Although, as a teeny critique, from the few previews I've seen, aren't Naveen's ears bigger? I dunno, I definitely don't know as much as you, but I could have SWORN.
<3 Whee, thank you for this lovely art

OH NO MY FRIEND! -
Pocahontas and John Smith we're Disney's first interracial couple! And while we're on that subject, Pocahontas was also Disney's first Princess from America, not Tiana... Oh well, but it all falls into categories, and Pocahontas is the daughter of the Chief, not a KING, and well, Tiana is only a princess by wedding... So...
Who cares really?! I just love Tiana and Naveen for who they are, and I can't take it any more - I want to see the film! Com'on Disney - Do me a favour! Send me a copy!!!

Tiara reminds me of Mya in Dancing with the Stars style.

You're amazing!
And I'm also having a hard time staying away from spoilers. I'm trying my hardest to resist, but it's sooo damn tempting!

I am sooo looking forward to see this when it gonna show here in Norway! But somehow I get the message from Disney that; if your beautiful, your successfull. Just something I started to think about ._.

The movie will start on 10th December here in Germany. German Title will be "KΓΌss den Frosch", that means "Kiss the frog".

*le sigh* not to mention the whole soundtrack is floating on the blasted music websites and iTunes. It's *so* hard to restrain myself from buying it until I see it!
Great work as usual David. Tiana looks adorable, and I'm not gonna lie, I want Charlotte's dress! ^_^

You're making me more anxious to see this film. I've been trying to stay away from spoilers...but they are so tempting. Not only that they're selling merchandise nonstop now (and it's selling out quickly too!). I got myself a poster and I wanted to buy the costume for my niece (who's my current muse)but it was too big for her. Too bad they don't sell costumes for older kids (I wanted to dress up for the Toronto premiere). I guess I'll just make my costume for the DVD release.

You are such an amazing artist. I love seeing your work in my watch list. It takes me weeks before I clear it out.
Wish you all the best.

this is really cute, i like how the sketches of especially the old woman and the man give you a sense of how the person holds themselves and acts in a single frame.

neofeliss [2009-11-30 02:26:20 +0000 UTC]
I should take your advice and avoid the spoilers too. Although I'm already beyond help, seeing as my mother bought me the storybook as a gift and I...guiltily read it fifteen times in one day.
Tiana is simply gorgeous in these sketches! And I know what you mean, I didn't like Charlotte much at first, but now she's growing on me. ^^

Excellent art concepts!!! Each character poses and expressions are simply amazing!!! I love the shadings and the paper you did this on. I really look forward to seeing this film. The story, message, characters, and of course, the music really makes New Orleans a one magnificent place!!!

I had a question prolly sounds really stupid but did you create the princess and the frog like the original sketches and stuff... I always wondered that ehe..

purinpuff [2009-11-30 00:53:51 +0000 UTC]
Wow, Charlotte looks so devious here, almost seductive!
I don't know if they did the whole Fonzie thing in the 20s, but it suits him!
I adored Tiana's dream sequence look. The first thing I thought seeing this was, "What, he's seen it already?"
You'd better shut your eyes up and go under a rock or something before you explode from spoilage. XP Disney itself puts spoilery clips in the previews and trailers. It's not fair. You shouldn't feel like you're just rewatching stuff when you go to the movies, even if you didn't see anything that spoiled the plot.

I love the way you draw these characters; you're really making me desire to see this movie more than I had previously--which is a challenging feat.
Simply awesome :]

great work as always!
just a stupid question
do you draw on yellow paper or you just edit it in photoshop or something?

This film looks like it will be so adorable. Plus I like John Goodman (who will play Charlotte's father) so that will be fun.

Ah-temptation, I have that problem myself. I have peaked at some of the books at the bookstores--but I never read the middle ironically. Just wanted to know the fate of the villain of course--and brush up on a few theories of mine.
Also, I have downloaded "Friends on the Otherside" and it is a great song.Love Tiana in the white dress.

I think in the past two days I've seen so many clips and features I think I have a pretty good idea whats going to happen... which I hate because I want to be suprised :/
Maybe I should do what you did and avoid the internet until it comes out
I mean, it's only... *twitch* 12 more days *twitch*
Love this btw !

Good God, I know how you feel. I typed in "Dr. Facilier" on YouTube and up popped, not one, but TWO videos that said contained the full version of "Friends on the Other Side". It is SO tempting. But I really want to see big musical number on the big screen, so I'm trying really hard to avoid it. I just have to wait 2 more weeks. I can do this!
I think Tiana looks adorable in that white dress and with that hair style, very classy. I'm really interested in what her relationship with Dr. Facilier will be like. If she tries to seduce him like how Jasmine tried to seduce Jafar, I will laugh my butt off!
