Minority funnies

1:47 PM / Animation / CommentsNo Comments

Disney's return to hand drawn animation, The Princess and the Frog, opened in theatres in the US on Friday. In typical Disney fashion, its doesn't hit UK shores until February, but in the meantime I thought you might enjoy this surprisingly amusing little parody from Landline TV. Given how much of the buzz surrounding The Princess and the Frog focuses on the fact that its heroine is the studio's first black princess, I do wonder how long it will be before we see something along the lines of the following:

Yes, I know that, if this were a real Disney production, the artistry would be of a considerably higher standard, but seriously, this is as bang-on a satire of Disney's self-aggrandising EPK features as I've ever seen, right down to the emphasis on the fabled "research trips" which often seem to have no bearing whatsoever on the final product.
