Somehow, I’m really excited about Walt Disney’s return to big-screen traditional animation with “The Princess and the Frog.” Don’t get me wrong, I really love the whole computer animation phenomenon, but I grew up watching all these wonderful hand-drawn Disney flicks and just have to feel a little bit nostalgic at this point.

Anyway, Disney recently launched a new Web site showcasing some of its upcoming projects. Click here to visit. Also on there, they posted some incredibly beautiful art work from the upcoming film, a fairy tale centering on a young princess living in New Orleans during the Jazz Age. “The Princess and the Frog” will open Dec. 25, 2009. Check out the pics below (after the jump), and click here for the teaser trailer.
