DVD Imitation Of “The Princess And The Frog” Surfaces

By Tambay, on November 18th, 2009

Hmmm… I wonder if Disney is aware of this. A knock-off DVD titled The Frog Prince produced by a company called Goodtimes Home Video, will go on sale December 1st, 10 days before Disney’s The Princess And The Frog hits theatres nationwide. Sure, there certainly are dozens of live and animated adaptations of the original fairy tale, popularized by the Brothers Grimm, however, this new one also happens to feature a black princess as its central character.

Coincidence? Likely not! It’s listed on sale for $13.49 via Amazon.com; if any one has actually laid eyes on this thing, let us know what exactly is in it, and what it looks like.

I’m not sure if Disney has any claim here.

Heh. It’s healthy competition, and an extreme coincidence! Hey, it’s better than having people bootlegging your movie.
