The more recent Princess and the Frog by Disney(November 25, 2009) follows a seamstresses journey through hardship after kissing a Frog prince backfires turning her into a frog as well, a light-hearted feel with some very dark twists. Interesting colours and story that takes away from the original fairy tale, not too much but it does, the colours because on most scenes they are surrounded in a blue background (but Mel its mostly dark) true but the choice of using blue in most of the backgrounds gives a feeling of sadness or uneasy, while at happy moments like when the seamstress finds an abandoned restaurant she wishes to save up for, she is surrounded by pleasant warm colours like yellows and oranges.

Possibly one of my favourite movies Monster in Paris is another light hearted take on a classic, based on Phantom of the opera it follows a story of series of mistakes make by a delivery man which lead to a flea growing around 8 feet tall and learning to sing(pretty cheesy I know). Pleasant songs through out as a singer tries to disguise the flea as another performer and somehow gets away with it for a while at least, I really admire the curves  in each character from the clothes to the over all body shape, I may keep the body shape of the singer, Lucille, as an inspiration for Princess.
