Big congratulations to The Princess and the Frog for rocking the number one spot at the box office this weekend, bringing in over 25 million. According to Hollywood.com Princess set a record for the “biggest debut for an animated film in December.” The screen life will will last throughout the holiday season so hopefully the Disney flick will reach the 100 million mark.

Here is a review of The Princess and the Frog and an interview with the princess herself, Anika Noni Rose.

In related news, Rose had a hot battle for the role of Tiana. According to The View, where Rose appeared this past Friday, the Tony winner beat out heavy weights like Alicia Keys, Tyra Banks (hmmmm…), Beyonce Knowles and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson.

I'm glad this movie did well

I think the right person got the part.

^ yeah I agree

Wait Beyonce was gonna play her....

Beyonce's Texas accent would have been too much for me.

Beating out her Dreamgirls costars. Not that it was a particularly juicy part, but her performance as Lorell was so overlooked.

Thank God Beyonce didn't get it.

sadly this movie has not longevity and will soon be forgotten ,

Black Princess

I love Anika. She's too underrated.

i actually coulda seen beyonce playing her

good job tho

25 million really isn't that much. Compared to all the Disney movies in the past. Let's see what happens, though.

Beyoncé prob was their choice but she didnt have time for that king of bullsh!t.

She has other things to worry about
