Disney has released it's first Traditional Animation release since 2004's Home on the Range. And it may not have whizz-bang 3D or CGI set pieces but it's good:

Princess & The Frog:7/10. Old school Disney with good if familiar characters & some catchy tunes. Ray the romantic firefly is worth the stub.

So to celebrate this here's our Top 10 Disne
