Disney Offering Special Limited Engagement for The Princess and the Frog

Disney has announced a special event to promote it’s upcoming animated film The Princess and the Frog.

Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA and Clearview’s historic Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City will host a limited engagement allowing fans to screen the film weeks before it’s official December 11th release date. This will not only be a film viewing, but an entire family fun event.

Starting on November 25th, Disney will begin multiple screenings of The Princess and the Frog. The film will be shown several times a day at both event locations with viewing times of 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., with a 9:30 p.m. show available on select dates. During the event there will be several other activities fans can enjoy besides the film itself.

The whole experience is themed to fit the film’s setting in New Orleans. This “Ultimate Disney Experience” features the following:

Princess Power: All nine of the Disney princesses will be together for the first time ever. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan will be welcoming Disney’s newest princess Tiana.

Fun ‘n Games: The Experience will feature opportunities to swing on ropes, climb trees, play games and race through the Bayou Adventure, plus a New Orleans Bead Toss, Naveen’s Leap Frog, video games and more.

Hollywood Heirlooms: Disney movie archives will be on display for the first time ever, including props and costumes from a variety of films including Mary Poppins, the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and more.

Movie Magic: Guests can learn about animated films from real Disney animators who will be on hand teaching guests how to draw a character from the film.

Picture This: Guests can put themselves in the movie at Kodak photo locations. Kodak photographers will capture guests’ images and place them in a scene from the movie.

Insider’s Glimpse: Burbank guests will also have the rare opportunity to tour the Studio lot.

This all sounds pretty amazing. I’m just wondering…since Disney has made such a big deal about this film being set in New Orleans and including all the culture there, why isn’t this “Ultimate Disney Experience” taking place in New Orleans?
