 New to Theaters
Everyone knows the story in which a princess finds true love by kissing a frog that magically turns into her handsome prince. In this telling of the story, the girl still kisses a frog, but the result is quite different; it's only one of dozens of surprises in this mix of wacky humor, thrills, melody and emotion. Love eventually finds a way -- between a prince and a princess ... between frogs, perhaps ... or maybe between a firefly and the object of his affection. But it's clear that the most important details lie well beneath the skin. The film features Disney's newest princess, its next great fairy tale and the Studio's return to the Disney musical, reminiscent of classics like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aladdin.
Check out our extended preview of The Princess and the Frog, a Walt Disney Pictures release in theaters November 25, 2009, featuring film credits, synopsis and more than 25 images from the film.

 Watching Out For Mr. Stork
In our latest Disney's True-Life California Adventure, Kathy and Matthew Walker go to extremes to bring you pictures and descriptions of Disney influences at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank by actually getting pregnant and delivering a child at the hospital in order to check out the Dumbo and Mary Blair artwork decorating the maternity floors. OK, so maybe the pregnancy wasn't actually for editorial purposes but come along as they share what awaits expecting parents admitted to the hospital's labor and delivery ward.
Previous Disney's True-Life California Adventure articles include Bill Griffiths' look at Napa Valley and its Disney connections, a special Walt Disney exhibit held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum and El Capitan experiences, Treasure Planet's Port of Discovery, Lilo & Stitch's Hawaiian Beach Party and Destination Atlantis.
 Two Too Many Mickeys?
When does 77 actually equal 75? When you are creating statues of Mickey Mouse for a U.S. tour to celebrate his 75th anniversary. Get some answers to the mystery of why two of the statues appearing at Walt Disney World didn't appear on the official list of "InspEARations" featuring the titles and artists of each piece. And with the sudden disappearance of the statues from display at the Magic Kingdom before their scheduled departure in April, we'll give you a bit of a preview of where they're headed next. Fifteen of them may be headed to a city near you. Photo Credit: Shari Meyr, MagicalDisney.com
