In response to The Frog Princess posted by SiriusWish:
Thank you for your kind words. Don't worry: I'm keeping a very careful eye on The Frog Princess and everything that's going on in the Mouse House. And I'll let you know what's going on. I'm pretty buzzed about this flick too.

There are a few other articles on the Frog Princess in my back catalog, if you haven't read them yet, they'll give you a good idea of what this movie will entail.

- These aren't *my* choices for Maddy, they're the known frontrunners for the role. Based on what I heard at the Grammy Awards, I prefer Jennifer Hudson's vocals to Beyoncé Knowles': I think Hudson has the stronger highs (notice during the duets, Hudson was singing the higher parts while Beyoncé went low?). I haven't heard Anika Noni Rose sing (I haven't seen Dreamgirls yet) but a Tony Award speaks volumes for this woman's talent.

- As I mentioned before, John Lasseter pulled Alan Menken off Frog Princess because Menken's already working on several Disney projects, including Enchanted. I believe Lasseter went with Newman because Newman is from New Orleans and he felt that Newman has a better feeling for New Orleans jazz.

Cheers,
Dominic
