The Princess and the Frog

I must admit, I didn’t know what to think when I heard that Thom was going to start painting a new Disney series consisting of new movie releases.  I was a bit skeptical at first, but now that we’ve received the first canvas in the series, The Princess and the Frog, I am really excited.  Even without seeing the movie, I love the painting!  In fact, the image itself makes me want to go see the movie.  His colors are as vibrant as ever in this wonderful work of art.  Kinkade held true to what seems like tradition and painted a lot of detail into this piece.  He even included two of the ”classic” princesses, Snow White and Cinderella, in the background.

 The Princess and the Frog is the first release in what he’s appropriately titled the ”Disney Discoveries Collection.”  This series will consist of new movie releases as opposed to the Disney Dreams Collection which features the classic films we all grew up with.  The Princess and the Frog features several firsts: the first movie to take place in the city of New Orleans, the first Disney film to feature an African American princess and Kinkade’s painting is the first in a brand new series.  It’s full of romance, but it’s a fun piece as well.  You can’t help but smile when you look at the different characters.  I get that same great feeling when I look at this painting that I do when I watch Disney movies.  To me, there’s no better “feel good” movie than a Disney love story!  To be honest, I feel like a kid again when I look at these paintings….I can’t help but get caught up in the stories they tell.

The relationship between Thomas Kinkade and Disney continues to grow.  It’s been great to see what they’ve come up with so far and I am more excited than ever to see what’s next!  We  have The Princess and the Frog available at both Peddler’s Village and Freehold for anyone that would like to see the image for themselves.  I encourage you to stop in and check it out! 

I’ll be sure to keep you posted as more of the scenes in this great new series are released!
