The Princess and the Frog looks different from what I expected, but it looks like it (hopefully) will be a great animated film. I cannot wait to see more of the Louis Armstrong-inspired character Louis the Alligator, animated by everybody's favorite lead animator Eric Goldberg, who was also the lead animator for the Genie in Aladdin.

• Here is a video of "Cluster Ballooning" that took place at Pixar as a part of Up's marketing campaign.

• DisneyStore.com has a ton of new Up merchandise, including a Dug the Dog plush, a Wilderness Explorer T-shirt, and more!

• Forbes has an interesting article about animation that I don't absolutely agree with, but it is still a good read.
