Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is Walt Disney Animation Studio's first musical film in which all of the voice actors do both the speaking and singing parts since Kaunotar ja hirviö (1991).
- GoofsTiana is left-handed, but sometimes uses her right hand for writing and kitchen work. For much of European and American history, society considered using the left hand to be sinful or unnatural, so "lefties" often felt compelled to use the right hand in polite company.
- Quotes
Tiana: [She and Naveen are floating above trees by balloons] Voodoo? You mean to tell me all this happened because you were messing with the Shadow Man?
Prince Naveen: He was very charismatic!
Tiana: [groans] It serves me right for wishing on stars. The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.
Prince Naveen: Hard work? Why... why would a princess need to work hard?
Tiana: Huh? Oh, I'm not a princess. I'm a waitress.
Prince Naveen: A waitress? Well no wonder the kiss did not work! You lied to me!
Tiana: I - I never said I was a princess.
Prince Naveen: You never said you were a w- a waitress! You were wearing a crown!
Tiana: It was a costume party, you spoiled little rich boy!
Prince Naveen: Oh, oh yes, oh ye-? Well, the egg is on your face, alright, because I do not have any riches!
Tiana: [shocked] What?
Prince Naveen: I am completely broke! Hahaha!
[branches begin popping the balloons]
Prince Naveen: Uh-oh...

I really like the setting a lot. New Orleans is a fantastic setup for this particular story, with its African-American culture, voodoo, bayou environment and all the music it inspires. Tiana and Dr. Facilier, the villain, are both fantastic characters and fully fleshed-out by the film. Dr. Facilier especially is very memorable and has one of the better villain songs in the entire canon. Charlotte, Tiana's childhood rich kid friend, is also absolutely hilarious.
Unfortunately, the story isn't quite that good. It feels more like Disney going through motions than it feels a proper fairy tale. We have the setup, the twist, the journey, the final battle, but you can practically see the story boards being switched behind the scenes. You don't buy the illusion. Plus, the songs are not that hot. The villain song is very good, and Almost There is not half bad either, but the rest are garbage. Especially Dig a Little Deeper, which is so painfully Oscar-crappy that you can't help but cringe.
All in all The Princess and the Frog is a mixed package. Its heart is in the right place and I love that we had this one final traditionally animated princess film, but it could have been a lot better, if we're being completely honest. Objectively a fine film, but not up to Disney's usual standards.
