Disney Rewind Episode 2: The Princess and The Frog

We are back with another episode of Disney Rewind, this time looking at the Princess and the Frog. Will we like it? Will we hate it? Other topics discussed are whether or not they would be vegans, the star studded battle royal for the right to play Tiana, and more rambling about films we aren't reviewing. Plus, we reveal the next film we are reviewing.
