Woohoo!
Jim Cummings was announced today as a nominee for the daytime Emmy of Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for his portrayal of Tigger in Disney’s My Friends Tigger and Pooh. See the full list of nominees here.
This is Jim Cummings’ first Emmy nomination so this is very exciting news for him and for us fans. He is up against some serious competition though so we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed.
It seems sort of crazy that of all the roles he’s had, he finally gets nominated for this one, especially since it is neither a role he originated nor Pooh which he has been playing longer. Either way, it is fantastic to see him get this recognition.

Let me start this by saying that I am a massive Disney fan. I usually give them much more benefit of the doubt than any other studio because I love so much of what they have produced. I am totally pumped about the return of classic animation and the classic Disney movie format. I also have been clamoring for a new princess movie for a really long time.
Let me also remind you that I am a huge Jim Cummings fan. I know that this role is important for him both because it is a pretty large, new role for him in a time when he’s mostly been sitting back and only playing his standard characters (Pooh, Tigger, etc) and we already know that he said this role is his favorite in his career. There are both big things for him and big news for us fans.
The official trailer was released a few days ago (as I tweeted when it came out) and I immediately popped over to Apple to watch it in High Definition. If you haven’t done so already, I recommend visiting http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/princessandthefrog/ to do so. My pumped level for this movie was high as heck.
So, taking all of that into account, what I am about to say is going to be total blasphemy but here we go.
I didn’t think it looked very good. This has got to be the first Disney animated trailer I have ever seen that I didn’t think looked good. Mind you, their trailer department is really good. They have made many a terrible movie look good in the trailer. But my reaction after seeing this trailer was just disappointment. It just looks…dumb.
Now, I am willing to reserve judgment until I see the film. Maybe they just did a terrible job with the trailer and the movie is really awesome. But I must say, after seeing this trailer, instead of getting me more excited, my spirits are a little dampened. The frog prince was so smarmy. I hope he’s not like that all movie, I will smack him. And the “funny” parts were…not funny. I actually rolled my eyes twice. That is never a good sign. I laugh at paint drying. Well, I do if it’s a funny color.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer but this is just my honest opinion. Am I alone in this? Did you think the movie looked awesome?
Let me know below.
