On Mardi Gras, as the riverboat carrying Tiana and Naveen approaches New Orleans, the moon is full. This is impossible.
There are approximately 29 days between full moons. The date for Easter in Western Christianity is calculated as "the Sunday following the full Moon which falls on or after the equinox." Easter will always be at most 7 days after a full moon. Mardi Gras is 47 days before Easter, and will always occur 11 to 18 days after a full moon. Mardi Gras will fall within four days before or after a new moon.
In 1926--the year in which the film is set--Mardi Gras is on February 16, the new moon is on February 12. See more »

[first lines]
Eudora:
[telling a story to Tiana and Charlotte]
"Just at that moment, the ugly little frog looked up with his sad, round eyes and pleaded, 'Oh, please, dear princess! Only a kiss from you can break this terrible spell that was inflicted on me by a wicked witch!'"
Young Charlotte:
[to Tiana]
Here comes my favorite part.
Eudora:
"And the beautiful princess was so moved by his desperate plea that she stooped down, picked up the slippery creature, leaned forward, raised him to her lips, and kissed that little frog."

Disney was at its best in the 90s. They came out with such great movies as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And then, they made bad movies like Home on the Range. Disney can make good movies, and they usually do. The Princess and the Frog is one of Disney's best movies. It has a great twist on a classic story, characters that made me care, and music that had me tapping my foot and wishing I was in New Orleans. The animation is so beautiful that I literally almost cried at the beginning of the film. Dr. Faciler is probably one of Disney's best villains. Keith David's voice is so creepy and fits perfect into the character. His song "Friends on the Other Side" is great and shows just how scary he can be. In most Disney movies, there are usually two or three songs that really stick with you. Every song in this movie was great. I still find myself humming "Down in New Orleans" everywhere I go. The bottom line is that Princess and the Frog is one of Disney's best and one of the best films of the year. The only question I can't answer is if it is better than Up. But if I have to answer, I'd say it's equal to it.
