Help me find this movie: A pair of princes become frogs in Medieval times, and immortal. They become humans again in the present.
In modern-day London, an American child tourist picks up these pair of frogs near the Tower of London. He takes them home to NY on a jet, and keeps them until he's caught with them by his mother, who orders him to let them go.

Some spell eventually happens, and they're humans again, this time somewhere in Midtown Manhattan.

They hail a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park and get a good tour around. The carriage driver, a nice, young woman, gives a lecture about life in the city, etc. The ride takes a good while, then they ask to be taken to the nearest castle. She says that "You guys are a piece of work!" and drops them off at Belvedere Castle. When the carriage driver asks for payment, the princes give them a coin from their day. They go to a coin collecting agency. Turns out, the coin was worth $6,000 so $5,625 was their change.

Later on, the pair sees a duel taking place on a stage. Thinking the fight is real, they join in, unaware that they're disrupting a practice act. A play director asks if he should call security. The assistant says, "Oh, no! This is too good!" When the princes "win," (surprisingly without drawing any blood,) they have pleasantries with the director, who gets them an acting gig. They do quite well in it.

There's far more to tell about the movie I saw back in high school, but I think the above ought to be enough for now.

Now what is the title of the movie I'm looking for? --Let Us Update Dusty Articles 08:08, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to match in every detail, but could it be Prince Charming? Deor (talk) 11:02, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * OMG! IT REALLY IS! I'LL LOOK FOR IT NOW; THANKS A LOT, DEOR. --Let Us Update Dusty Articles 14:53, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Anyone have a tech/dance or fast beat song with speaker panning?
A friend and i are playing Audio surf and we want to see what it would look like if we played using a song that has some really good speaker panning from left to right? Does anyone have some nice suggestions?

Preferably something that can be youtubed and perhaps something electronic.

Thanks everyone! 74.117.245.62 (talk) 08:42, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Part of "Yours is no disgrace" by Yes fits the bill of being split across speakers and electronic ish. It's a long song though. --TammyMoet (talk) 11:47, 17 July 2010 (UTC) Also try the Edgar Winter band's "Frankenstein".--TammyMoet (talk) 11:49, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Armand Van Helden's You Don't Even Know Me - it has huge amounts of panning (if that's what it's called - infact it is the central theme of the way the song plays out in clubs). It is also one of my favourite dance songs, infact it's cheered me right up listening to it again for the first time in years! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNSpLqmY6K0 ny156uk (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Just to note that Youtube link doesn't seem to be in stereo (at least not noticeable through my headphones). Whereas the iTunes download is (and it is 100x better for it) in stereo. ny156uk (talk) 18:18, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
