Ah. So that's how they're dragging the Frog Princess story out to movie-length. I mean, the original's kind of - girl meets frog, girl is mean to frog, frog is mean to girl, eventually they get so sick of each other she gives in and kisses him just to make him shut up, frog turns into prince, they live happily ever after - two thirds of which, including the kiss, happened in the original 30 second teaser trailer.
(... the version I remember best was on TV in the early nineties and had Rik Mayall narrating it. It's possible they were less mean to each other in the original. But then, 'original fairytale' and 'less mean' are not two phrases that often turn up in the same sentence.)
Anyway. Looks entertaining and Prince Naveen looks like he has more personality than most Disney Princes even if that personality is kind of... irritating. And not in an awesome angsty Beast kind of way. Maybe it goes with becoming a frog? I've thought much too hard about all of this.
