Disney Gets the Thomas Kinkade Treatment

This past Easter, I was delighted to find a copy of the newest animated Disney hit The Princess and the Frog nestled among the other treats awaiting me in my Easter Basket.

Given that the male population in our household had yet to see the movie, I was quick to unwrap it and pop the disc in the player, insistent on rectifying that glaring gap in their Disney viewing history.

As we skipped through the plethora of ads preceding the film, I sifted through the other plethora of ads awaiting me inside the DVD case. Per usual, most of them were useless coupons for some of the lesser-known straight-to-DVD mediocrity that Disney releases between the big Summer and Holiday movie seasons... but one thing did manage to catch my eye...

Thomas Kinkade had done a print based on the end scene from the Princess and the Frog, and believe it or not, it was actually quite stunning. Certainly not worth the hefty Disney/Kinkade price tag ($300+?! I'm more that content to settle for simple using a jpeg of the image as my desktop background, thank you very much...) But, there's no denying the fact that the image is quite lovely, and certainly worth a mention here...
