"Marie" is such a great example of the kind of touching, beautiful song Newman can write, and something like that would go great with both the setting and, based on what we've seen so far, the mood of the film. I really just can't wait.

I'm eager to see what other costumes they've designed.

Pegboards. Hole-punched paper. I saw all those things with my very own eyes inside the Disney hat building. Also actual animators, holding pencils and flipping paper. There's a bunch of test animation getting done on Princess and the Frog, and it was a rush to see pencil drawings moving, as if by magic. The character designs are appealing but still evolving. One animator said: "Nothing is locked down, we're still tweaking characters. And nothing gets locked until John Lasseter signs off on final designs."<<
