So Disney has finally come up with a African American princess (who's not even really a princess at first). The movie is set in New Orleans, during the height of the Jazz revolution.
A spoilt prince, due to greed, is turned into a frog by an evil witch doctor. He then persuades a girl, who works hard to realize her dream of owning a restaurant, to kiss her. However, instead of turning that frog into a prince, the frog turns her into a frog as well instead!
It was a pleasant movie, with an interesting enough story line. There were parts which scared the smaller ones a bit though. These are the scenes where the witch doctor practices voodoo and summons evil spirits and such.
Well, anyway, the kids enjoyed themselves, though Claire and Eva were a bit afraid of the scary scenes and grew restless towards the end of the show. Halfway through the movie, Eva made me bring her to the loo to do the big one, again. (I did try to bribe her with ice-cream to stay at home with Grandma, but unfortunately, it didn't work this time! Need to think up some new bribes!)
After the movie, we celebrated Grandma's birthday. That's cousin Hughie (on Grandma's lap). He's on a long visit from Miri. He's around half a year younger than Solomon but they're almost the same size! He might even be a bit bigger! :) He's also the opposite of Solomon. Solomon is mostly serious and quiet whereas Hughie can't stop 'talking' and making noises with his loud voice! He also loves to laugh and smile! He's a real cutie pie!
