Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Released on December 11, 2009, the 49th animated feature of the Disney Animated Canon, as well as the first since 2004's Home on the Range to be traditionally animated. It's inspired by the novel The Frog Princess, E. D. Baker's take on the classic fable "The Frog Prince," and written and directed by Disney staples John Musker and Ron Clements. It is also notable for introducing the first black and first American Disney Princess into the official line-up. note Not counting Pocahontas, who is "American" in the sense of "a native of North America" but not in the sense of "a citizen of the United States," which does not yet exist at the time the film takes place.In 1920s New Orleans, 19-year old waitress Tiana struggles to earn money in order to get her own restaurant — a dream she and her dad shared before he passed away. Things seem to be turning around when the handsome prince Naveen comes to town, prompting Tiana's rich friend Charlotte to pay her lots of money if Tiana will cater at the party Charlotte throws for Naveen. Unfortunately, Charlotte is not the only one interested in the egocentrical prince, as an evil voodoo sorcerer named Dr. Facilier manages to trick him into a Deal with the Devil and replaces the prince with his transformed manservant. Naveen is turned into a frog and requires a princess' kiss to lift the spell. Mistaking Tiana for a princess at Charlotte's party, he asks her to kiss him. Tiana, disillusioned because her attempt at getting the restaurant failed, reluctantly agrees to kiss Naveen if he pays for her restaurant, but there's a twist — since she's not a princess, the plan backfires and she's turned into a frog as well! As Tiana and Naveen have very different outlooks on life, they have a hard time cooperating, but they're forced to bond together and embark on a journey through the lush bayou of Louisiana to find the mystical Mama Odie who can lift their spell. While they are joined by Louis, an alligator jazz enthusiast, and a Cajun firefly named Ray, Dr. Facilier is hot on their trail, intent on using Naveen's blood for further nefarious purposes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })For almost a decade, Disney had been firmly entrenched in the growing 3D/CGI movement (not counting Direct-to-Video sequels); a Disney exec announced that Princess would be a long-overdue return to the animation tradition the company maintained for over fifty years. Randy Newman composed the songs for a film that harkens back to the age of Disney where music played as much a character as the actual cast members themselves. The film is also in large part a love letter to the city of New Orleans, a town even Walt Disney himself considered to be the most magical city in the world.Following the release of this film, Tiana was added to the official Disney Princess lineup.Before adding examples, note that tropes pertaining to the more sensitive political issues (gender and race) have been moved to the analysis page.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Creator Cameo: Directors Ron Clements and John Musker appear on a Mardi Gras float tossing beads. Walt Disney himself appears at the parade, and in the ending watching the wedding procession and as a customer at Tiana's Palace. The directors also appear in Doctor Facilier's villain song. If you look at the Floating Masks behind Naveen's chair, two are barely recognizable caricatures.

Trailers Always Spoil
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: One of the last few online behind-the-scenes featurettes uploaded before the film's release gave away Dr. Facilier being dragged away by his Friends on the Other Side to his death. There's also at least one trailer showing that Frog!Tiana, not Human!Tiana, smashes the talisman. Two scenes might be more suspenseful and/or made great reveals if 1.they didn't show Louis in any trailer, with the contrast with the vicious frog-eating alligators introduced beforehand and 2.they didn't show the wedding scene where they turn back into humans!!. Though the latter might be justified, since a Happily Ever After ending is, after all, in the finest Disney tradition. Yeah, most know it now, but back when it was at cinema did the trailers on the Scandinavian Disney Channel showed Tiana becoming a frog.

Fat Idiot: Subverted with Louis. While he's shown to have a poor sense of direction (something that Ray points out all alligators have), he is skilled in trumpet playing for an alligator who has never taken any formal music lessons. Played straight with the largest of the frog-trappers. He's loud, bumbling, and slow to react.

Never Trust a Trailer
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Tiana not actually being a princess is a major part of the plot. On the other hand, she becomes one, and Charlotte is theoretically a princess. In the third trailer, a line was added in with Mama Odie telling Tiana that "all that matters is what's under the skin". Not only does this line never appear in the movie, but it is in no way related to the moral that either Tiana learns or that Mama Odie is attempting to teach. In the same trailer, it emphasizes that it's "the kind of magic that can only happen when you wish upon a star". "Wishing upon a star" is 100% contradictory to the moral of the story, which is that while wishing (determination) takes you part of the way, you still have to work for what you want. Overall, Disney did an excellent job making this movie look like something it isn't in the TV spots, putting emphasis on butt jokes, fart jokes, and Louis and Ray at their goofiest.

Never Recycle a Building: Tiana's father sets his sights on an abandoned mill as the place to set up the restaurant he dreams of starting. Not only was the mill empty for some time before he announces this, it remains empty for another ten years or so, while Tiana grows up and saves the money so she can buy the mill for the same purpose after her father dies. One of the things that kicks off the plot is that as soon as she tells the men selling the mill that she's able to afford it, she's informed that someone else just happened to outbid her on it.

Stealth Pun: The realtors share a joint costume of a donkey also known as a "Jack Ass", which properly describes how they treat Tiana when they break the news to her about being outbid for the sugar mill. Bonus points in that the in the head at least tried to break the news to her gently while the hind one interrupted and put it bluntly. Louis is a jazz playing alligator. "Gator" was a slang term for a jazzman in the 20s. To be more specific, Louis is a trumpet playing Gator: a multi-layer reference to Louis Armstrong.

Deal with the Devil: It's revealed that the source of Dr. Facilier's powers come from his "friends on the other side" with whom he owes many debts to. This is also Facilier's method of choice. It's apparent that he can't just kidnap the Prince by force, his magic will only work if he gets Naveen to make a deal with him first (Naveen of course has no idea what he's truly agreeing to).

Wrong Genre Savvy: Charlotte believes that she is in a Disney Princess movie, and that all she needs to be happy is to just wait around for her prince to come to her. She's almost right, but she's off on two counts - she is in a Disney Princess movie, but she's not the main character, and it's a modern Disney Princess movie, where the romances are more slowburn and the princess characters more active than the older films.

Rich, spoiled, princess-wannabe, desperate-for-a-prince Charlotte in contrast to level-headed, workaholic Tiana who couldn't care less about marrying a prince. In a twist, Charlotte is not the Alpha Bitch; she's Tiana's best friend, and likable in her own right.

Toothy Bird: Naveen still has his teeth even when he is a frog. Ray the firefly also has teeth, albeit wonky ones. The animator for Naveen said they based his design off of African species of frogs that have teeth.

Anachronism Stew: A mild example but Louis mentions that he wants to eat Bananas Foster even though the dish wasn't created until 1951. Another example is alcohol served even though Prohibition was at its height (though this can be justified by New Orleans' tendency to ignore legislation that gets in the way of having fun).

Mythology Gag
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: A subtle one going back to The Lion King. At one point when looking at the night sky, Timon claims that stars are fireflies stuck in that "big, bluish, black thing". Fifteen years later, this film makes a nod to that description in the aftermath of Ray the firefly's death. When he dies, the film shows that he becomes a star next to his love, Evangeline, implying that Timon was at least partially right. The movie plays a twist on the "by midnight" clause common in many fairy tales. In Cinderella for example, the Fairy Godmother's spell starts to come undone when the clock begins striking midnight but doesn't fully disappear until the clock strikes twelve. In this case however, the instant the clock starts striking, it has reached "midnight" and Charlotte loses her "princess" status and can't break the curse with her kiss. Justified because Mardi Gras literally means "Fat Tuesday" the final celebration before Ash Wednesday begins the period of Lent. So the instant midnight occurs it becomes Ash Wednesday officially ending Mardi Gras. There is no 12-stroke grace period for this spell.

Curse Escape Clause
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_275773bd
comment
The Curse Escape Clause: In order to be freed, the affected victim has to "kiss a princess". In this case, Charlotte qualifies as the daughter of a 'King' (her father being declared King of Mardi Gras), but technically, a "princess" can be anyone who is married to a prince...even if said marriage just happened and the prince in question is also the one affected by the curse.

Carnivore Confusion: Louis the 'gator does not want to eat frog-form Tiana and Naveen unlike his fellow alligators. His stated preferences are for New Orleans cuisine —human food. Meanwhile, despite being driven to eat bugs, Tiana and Naveen manage to keep their tongues away from Ray once Tiana cooks them all some swamp gumbo. Louis even lists frog legs as something he'd like to eat (not that Naveen and Tiana should really care, not being real frogs and all).

Disappeared Dad: Downplayed. We see that Tiana's dad is present during her childhood and played a significant role in fostering her dream to open a restaurant. He is definitely missing when the story shifts to Tiana as a young woman. It is suggested that he died at some point between her childhood and teenage years, with the most likely explanation that he died fighting in World War I, due to the photo of him in a WWI-style uniform on Tiana's dresser that has a Distinguished Service Cross on the frame.

Nightmare Fetishist: Not only is Naveen easily duped into following Facilier, once he's inside the Voodoo Emporium, witnessing some magic that goes well beyond the scope of a normal tarot reading and the ostensibly decorative masks starting to sing with Facilier — he seems to really get into it and really enjoy being around the strange, magical things. In fact, he doesn't show any signs of fear until he's bound up in the chair, being turned into a frog.

Hidden Depths
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_2dc0d2bf
comment
Hidden Depths: Naveen comes across as a smarmy, cheesy "no-account, good for nothing" as Tiana calls him, but he displays resourcefulness, adaptability, musical talent, scientific knowledge, and multilingual knowledge, plus a willingness to learn. His character arc reveals that a lot of his immature behavior is used as a mask to hide deep insecurities about literally not knowing how to do anything for himself due to his parents spoiling him most of his life and then kicking him out... Charlotte, despite being rather loud and pushy, shows a considerable amount of compassion and a good heart. She willingly agrees to kiss frog Naveen with no strings attached to free them from the curse. After Tiana's accident at the party, Charlotte immediately leaves Prince Naveen on the dance floor to help Tiana clean up and change her dress. She may be spoiled and a bit superficial, but she knows what's truly important to her and presents herself as a good friend. Ray appears at first to be a stereotypical bayou swamp denizen. But, he turns out to be one of the most insightful, caring, and helpful people in the group. He's also quite competent, as he quickly untangles Naveen and Tiana and points out that Louis had been leading them in the wrong direction. Ultimately it is he (with some help from his family) that guides the group to Mama Odie's home.

It Was with You All Along: Since, as a prince, any woman he marries becomes a princess, Naveen always had the potential to break the curse by himself. However, it would require said woman to agree to marry a talking frog and to find someone who would actually perform such a marriage. In addition, him being a Handsome Lech was as big an obstacle for marriage as the whole frog curse.

Fourth Date Marriage: The relationship Tiana and Naveen create is the typical speed for a Disney movie. Their meeting and falling in love happens in the span of approximately three days, albeit it's unclear how long after the main story their wedding happens.

Love Epiphany: For Naveen it starts during the Dance of Romance when Naveen sees the stars shining in Tiana's eyes and they lean in for an Almost Kiss. But it crystalizes during the "Dig a Little Deeper" number, when he realizes it's Tiana that makes him happy - not the money he thought he wanted.

Dragged Off to Hell: Facilier's fate. After Tiana breaks his talisman, the one object that binds the contract between him and his "friends", the angry voodoo spirits come upon him and drag him by the ankles into the underworld, leaving behind a tombstone that bears his screaming face.

Actor Allusion: The weird psychedelic filter effect on Dr. Facilier's face as he sings "I hope you're satisfied" during his Villain Song makes him look like one of the aliens from◊ They Live, a horror movie in which Keith David, Dr. Faciler's voice actor, starred prominently.

The Man Behind the Man: It's clear that the Friends on the Other Side are the real power behind Facilier. Facilier himself clearly plans on being this once Lawrence marries Charlotte and takes over Big Daddy's role as head of the city's most influential family. Which would make it the spirits behind the man behind the man pretending to be another man...

Prior to Character Development, Naveen blames Tiana for appearing in a princess-like gown and tiara, not telling him beforehand that she was actually a waitress, when clearly he was the one who let himself get suckered into a deal with Dr. Facilier in the first place. Eventually, all fingers point back at Naveen when the group meets Mama Odie and she asks who had been messing with the Shadow Man.

Two scenes might be more suspenseful and/or made great reveals if 1.they didn't show Louis in any trailer, with the contrast with the vicious frog-eating alligators introduced beforehand and 2.they didn't show the wedding scene where they turn back into humans!!. Though the latter might be justified, since a Happily Ever After ending is, after all, in the finest Disney tradition.

comment
Inexplicably Awesome: Dr. Facilier and Mama Odie are both this, since they are both eccentric and have awesome Voodoo powers, but their backstories of how they got them are never explained. It's heavily implied that Facilier sold his soul to his "Friends" on the Other Side and has been racking up a considerable debt with them by promising more souls in his place, all in exchange for more power. Whether the Friends are Loa or demons or Satan is never made explicit, however. Odie's case is almost definitely more benign, but goes unexplained and plays the trope fairly straight.

Well, Excuse Me, Princess!: Tiana and Naveen. Early in the film, they both think that they're better than the other. Naveen believes himself to be superior to Tiana because he is a debonair and optimistic prince, while she is a pessimistic & cranky waitress. At the same time, Tiana thinks that she's above Naveen because he's a lazy, good for nothing philanderer, while she has tirelessly worked hard for the things she wants in life. Hence, the throwing of insults begins.

Fat Bastard: Lawrence, Naveen's double-crossing valet. His frustration with being Naveen's Chew Toy drives him to go along with Facilier's Evil Plan. Among the two obnoxious real-estate investors, the fatter of the two is also clearly the meaner of the two. He shows no sympathy for Tiana losing her claim on the location. Buford, the Chef who mocks Tiana's dream of having her own restaurant.

Creepy Jazz Music

comment
Creepy Jazz Music: Dr. Facilier's Villain Song "Friends on the Other Side". While it being jazz isn't notable in itself (the film has a jazz-influenced soundtrack), the tempo, minor key, and call-and-response elements make the song much creepier than other songs from the film. What's more, the song seems to be bit of a tribute to Minnie the Moocher, another case of this trope. Facilier looks a bit like Cab Calloway, and the weird dancing and Disney Acid Sequence aspects are reminiscent of some of the old cartoons.

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: As a result of Lawrence using voodoo magic to make himself appear as Prince Naveen, Tiana sees him with Lottie on their float and believes he's chosen to pursue her after all. She shuts down Ray's comfort in a heartbroken rage, thus making it both a romantic and platonic example.

The Smurfette Principle: The film is ostensibly aimed at girls, and has a female lead character, but otherwise it has a 1:3 female-to-male ratio — female lead, male Love Interest and co-lead, two male (animal) supporting characters. Then one woman in a supporting role (a mentor). Although it does also feature Tiana's mother and her supportive friend, Charlotte.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Right before Naveen proposes to Tiana, it occurs to him that she will never be able to afford her restaurant unless he keeps his promise to marry Charlotte and reward Tiana for helping him when he's rich again. He unselfishly abandons the sincere proposal and resigns himself to his fate. In a more platonic sense, Charlotte. The one thing she's wanted more than anything else is to be a real princess, and because of the aforementioned marriage plan, she could get it, yet because Tiana's her best friend and it's Tiana that the real Naveen really loves, Charlotte doesn't even hesitate to go along with the kissing plan in an attempt to get them human, together, and happy.

Dying Moment of Awesome: Implied with Tiana's father. In her bedroom is a portrait of her father in US Army uniform, with a Distinguished Service Cross hanging from the frame. The DSC is the second-highest military award after the Medal of Honor, awarded for extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy.

Jackass Genie: Naveen never actually made a wish. He went in to get his fortune told, but Facilier knew he was looking for money, i.e. 'The Green', and, when the deal was sealed by a shake of hands, Faciler promptly gave Naveen his OWN interpretation! Lawrence also did not get quite what he expected; Facilier told him he'd "be the man he always wanted to be", but he didn't realize that would mean literally becoming the Prince.

Meaningful Name
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Dr. Facilier's name is a play on the French word ""facile", for "easy", indicative of how he always offers "the easy way" out to his clients (or how he tries to take it for himself). "La Bouffe" in French means "The Grub" as in "food". Appropriate for the Big Eater father... Ray also, to an extent, as in "ray of light", reflecting his optimistic attitude. And how he attacks Dr. Facilier's friends. Also "Evangeline", since it's the name of a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem about a woman looking for her lost love. It's also the name of a parish in Louisiana. Specifically, "Evangeline" is meaningful in that the Longfellow poem is about an Acadian woman looking for her lost husband after they were separated in the expulsion of Acadians from their homeland that started in 1755. Some Acadians migrated to Louisiana after this and over time became known as Cajuns. Of course, Ray is a Cajun firefly, so the name of his true love is ethnically significant. The very-briefly-seen character Beau...a moth who functions as a bow-tie. Tiana is also an example; her name literally means princess, probably referring to the fact that she was the princess that could break the spell all along.

Magic A Is Magic A: Facilier explains to Lawrence that he can't use his voodoo magic on himself and needs him to pull off their identity theft scheme. This is why Mama Odie is noticeably more powerful than Facilier (she uses her magic to help others, rather than herself, so she naturally has more of it), zapping the shadow creatures away effortlessly while Facilier has to rely on his Friends On The Other Side to do most of the magic, and when they turn on him, he's as powerless as any mortal man.

Cannot Spit It Out: Naveen attempting to confess his love for Tiana and propose to her. Justified because Naveen never expected to fall in love. Even coming to New Orleans to marry, he had only intended to marry for money, not for love. Plus, although he bragged about his romantic peccadilloes, he had never taken any of those dalliances seriously. And then there's the fact that if he does finally spit it out, he'll break his deal to marry Charlotte and doom Tiana to a life without realizing her dream of owning a great restaurant.

comment
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Dr. Facilier wears a black Baron Samedi-esque outfit while Mama Odie wears white, which is the traditional color for voodoo garb. This also fits with the way they represent shadow and light respectively. Purple, traditional hallmark of comic book villains, is part of the Doctor's costume and no one else, even though it's one of the standard Mardi Gras colors (Purple, Green and Gold). The person who wrote the color script made a conscious decision to include the three Mardi Gras colors: Facilier has purple in all of his scenes (since, of the three colors, purple is the most "unnatural"), the scenes in the swamp with frog Tiana and Naveen are green, and Mama Odie's scenes are awash in gold.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: The movie doesn't even try to explain why kissing Naveen initially turned Tiana into a frog, beyond the fact that she wasn't a princess at the time. Her literary counterpart in Tales of the Frog Princess happened to be wearing a magical charm bracelet that cause the intended transformation to be reversed, but in the movie's case, it appears to just be a strange side effect of Facilier's spell.

Establishing Character Moment
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment How do we know Facilier's not a nice man? It's not the outfit or the Living Shadow, but his first customer on-screen. Man suffers from male pattern baldness, so Facilier hits him with a magic powder that grows a full head of hair...followed by the rest of his body. A moment later we also see him glaring jealously at Mr. LaBouff driving by in his expensive car, and then looking disdainfully at the single coin he scammed the bald man out of. For all that he has genuine supernatural abilities, Facilier is ultimately just a two-bit street hustler - and he hates that. Tiana-as-an-adult is introduced as coming in from an obviously hard shift at work and collapsing on her bed...for all of two seconds before getting up to start another shift. This, with the in-between moment of her adding to her large stash of cash and speaking to her father's picture, establishes that Tiana is a hard worker with the hardset goal of getting the restaurant her father wanted. Naveen appears arriving in New Orleans, a prince with a dazzling smile and regal clothing. He promptly throws the clothing off and begins to dance around and flirt with girls, all while Lawrence is left to struggle with his luggage. Prince though he may be, Naveen is very immature and doesn't give much mind to more important things.

"I Want" Song
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_8338de89
comment
"I Want" Song: "When We're Human", sung by Tiana, Naveen, and Louis about what they're going to do when Mama Odie turns them human. Tiana wants her restaurant, Naveen wants to be rich again, and Louis wants to be a jazz player. "Ma Belle Evangeline", sung by Ray. It's a song mostly about how beautiful love itself is, but doubles as him talking about how much he wishes he could be with his love. "Almost There", although it's more of a "I've Just About Got It" song. Tiana is celebrating her finally getting a location for her restaurant, and her plans for what comes next.

Supernatural Is Purple: Purple is used repeatedly to represent Facilier, because of the Mardi Gras colors, it's the most "unnatural." Mama Odie, however, is associated with gold.

comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Early in the movie, Tiana learns her down payment won't be able to count for much against a buyer who's offered to pay for the sugar mill in full. Once this fact is given, the buyer promptly disappears from relevance. Given that we only have the racist realtor's word that there ever was another buyer, it's possible that there never was one.

Big Bad: Dr. Facilier, the Evil Sorcerer who transformed Naveen. At first just a charlatan scamming people out of their money, Dr. Facilier takes Naveen's arrival to New Orleans as an opportunity to become rich. The endgame is the death of Big Daddy Lebeouf. He does this with some help from his "Friends", and when the talisman used to disguise Lawerence runs out of blood, Facilier offers the souls of New Orleans' citizens as payment. Facilier cares for nothing but his own desires, and even goes so far as to kill Ray when the firefly interferes.

Never My Fault: Prior to Character Development, Naveen blames Tiana for appearing in a princess-like gown and tiara, not telling him beforehand that she was actually a waitress, when clearly he was the one who let himself get suckered into a deal with Dr. Facilier in the first place. Eventually, all fingers point back at Naveen when the group meets Mama Odie and she asks who had been messing with the Shadow Man. Played with in Dr. Facilier's Villain Song.

comment
Family-Unfriendly Death: Dr. Facilier is dragged into voodoo-hell — screaming and struggling— by his "Friends on the Other Side" when it's apparent his plan to pay off his "debt" to them is foiled for good. It's unsettling to watch the man have a Villainous Breakdown as he is dragged away. The expression of terror captured in the face that remains on his tombstone is quite unnerving. Ray being stepped on is not shown, and he's not in horrible physical shape after, but we do hear a crunch. It also completely subverts Disney Death, which is unexpected for a Disney film.

Foreshadowing: The opening song gives us the phrases below. Later, there's magic good (Odie) and bad (Facilier), and Naveen loses everything he had. "You just wanna be free; hop from place to place. But freedom... takes green!" (As it turns out, he's not talking about money...) Note that on the card ("And when I look into your future, it's the green that I see!"), the part of the background with the dollar bills all over it is in the the shape of a lily pad. When Facilier holds out his hands for Lawrence and Naveen to shake, we see Lawrence's face with a selfish, greedy grin eagerly reaching out to shake, whereas Naveen shows a noticeable hesitancy but allows his youthful desires to override his common sense. The movie opens with Tiana and Charlotte as children, apparently in the middle of playing dress-up; Charlotte is dressed as a princess, but Tiana is the one wearing the crown.

Ambition Is Evil: Played with. Facilier is motivated by a desire for power, and Lawrence wants to take Naveen's place as a prince after being shoved around so much, and they're examples of the trope played straight. Meanwhile, Tiana is extremely ambitious in her goal to open her own restaurant. While her ambition isn't presented as evil, the story does show how it clouds her judgment regarding what she wants verses what she needs.

Awesome Moment of Crowning: When Tiana and Naveen marry while in their previously incurable frog forms, they kiss and are transformed back into humans. Mama Odie reveals that when Tiana married Prince Naveen she became a princess, and Naveen kissing her as a princess lifted the curse!

Capture and Replicate: Part of the plot involves Naveen's servant Lawrence passing as him. This is done thanks to a talisman that lets Lawrence look just like Naveen, but periodically needs some of Naveen's blood to continue working. However, Naveen escapes early in the movie and the bad guys spend some time trying to find him.

Artistic License – Religion
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: A rare invoked example - Disney didn't want to use any actual symbols for fear of offending real life practitioners of Voudou (or summon any evil spirits). They essentially give a bit of this since Dr. Facilier and Mama Odie appear to practice magic and call it "Voodoo", however give Facilier a little bit of credit - he says "I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried", implying he (and the writers) are well aware that "Voodoo" isn't just a catch-all-term for folk magic. There's a bit of Genius Bonus too - Facilier appears to be using easily-bribed spirits, not so much caring for actual voodoo rituals so much as aligning with what will give him more power.

Mood Whiplash: The beginning of the film seems light-hearted, relaxed and friendly but by the end it's clearly sentimental. Another example occurs during/after the "Ma Belle Evangeline" sequence. We have a beautiful, slow, romantic song while our two protagonists dance together...and then Naveen gets snatched away by the shadow demons and is dragged away screaming while the others try to save him.

Glad You Thought of It: When Louie the Alligator refuses to take the heroes to Mama Odie to break their spell (due to how dangerous it is), Naveen starts saying that is a pity he cannot fulfill his dream of playing jazz in the river boats, and that maybe if he wasn't a gator, it may be possible. After a few seconds, Louie says that he could ask her to become human, with Naveen calling him a genius for "getting" that idea.

Fashion Dissonance: A couple outfits look like they raided the costumes from Cinderella, though it should be noted that the pimped out clothes we see are costumes or magically generated. Tiana's blue princess dress actually belongs to Charlotte, who was both rich and completely obsessed with being a princess from time of childhood. Charlotte gives it to Tiana after Tiana's own simple, High Middle Ages maiden costume is ruined. The characters' street clothes are a bit more accurate for the time period.

Light Equals Hope: Ray the firefly is a profound example. He shows up for the first time when Naveen is just about to be dragged screaming back to Facilier by his shadowy "friends from the other side". Ray's tail light dispels the shadows and saves Naveen. Facilier, in revenge for Ray's interference and attempt to break his gris-gris, steps on him. Ray lights up one more time in happiness as he hears that Naveen and Tiana are in love and plan to stay together, even as frogs. Ray does not survive Facilier stepping on him. Tiana, Naveen, and his family throw him a proper New Orleans funeral and send his body off on a leaf. But the universe rewards Ray for his heroic deeds and service in the fight against evil by making him a literal star in the sky. The night is briefly lit up like daytime, and Ray's grieving loved ones go from weeping to cheering.

Oh, Crap!: When Tiana sees her reflection as a frog in Charlotte's mirror. When Lawrence starts having second thoughts, he tosses the amulet away from him. Facilier freaks out at the prospect of it breaking, catches it, then ferociously berates Lawrence for what he almost did, managing to keep himself from striking him with his cane only at the last minute. A rapid succession on Tiana and Naveen's first night in the bayou. First tree branches pop the balloons the frogs are drifting with, sending them plummeting into the swamp below. Then they get attacked by a heron. After they escape the heron just when things couldn't get any worse...

Disney chief John Lasseter, the Pixar head whose brainchild it was to bring back 2D animation, insisted on setting the film in New Orleans. When he found out Disney Renaissance directors Clements and Musker had never been to The Big Easy, he paid them to visit the post-Katrina city three times. Their research strongly influenced the plot as well as the look: Tiana's character was based on a person they met who dreamed of opening a restaurant.

Everything's Better with Sparkles: Invoked at the ball—Charlotte's dress is already an oversized pink balloon of a gown, but when making her entrance to Naveen, she tosses a handful of sparkles in the air for effect. The fireflies of the swamp and Evangeline the evening star are both shown as lovely, shining lights.

Tarot Motifs

comment
Tarot Motifs: When Doctor Facilier reads Naveen and Lawrence's fortunes, the cards that are shown actually support what Facilier's talking about! Naveen is depicted holding a flower, which is a common depiction of the Fool. His second card shows him enjoying the company of two ladies, with the card numbered XV — the Devil, which in this case represents the seductive power of the pleasures of the world. Facilier changes it to the Tower (disaster and ruin) when speaking of Naveen's financial difficulties, then into the Nine of Cups, which often represents achieving one's dreams with a side order of 'be careful what you wish for'. Lawrence's reading revolves around the Ten of Wands, which represents burdens and stress, often self-imposed. Downplayed with the back of the cards that feature the Eye of Horus which is often used to obtain protection from evil. It seems odd that Facilier, with his association with the "Friends on the Other Side", would have this motif.

Horrible Judge of Character: Naveen has no reservations about following a shady guy with a skull on his hat down a dark alley, and when the floating voodoo masks start singing and the shadows start moving things around, he's obliviously enjoying the show with a big goofy grin on his face. This is lampshaded when Tiana comments about Naveen "messing with the Shadow Man", for which he responds, "He was very charismatic!" Lawrence; when it comes to shaking hands and actually sealing the deal, Naveen is the one who looks doubtful and hesitates for a moment- whereas Lawrence digs right in, complete with a greedy look on his face.

comment
The Roaring '20s: According to the newspaper Big Daddy reads during "Down in New Orleans", it's 1926. The date is left ambiguous: the front of his newspaper says "Friday, April 25, 1926" (actually a Sunday), the back says "Friday, July 16, 1926", and none of the real events the headlines are referring to (including Mardi Gras) actually took place on either of those dates. Early on in the film, when Young Tiana and her mother board the trolley, a man is seen in one of the front seats reading a newspaper with the headline "Wilson Elected". It was Wilson's second term in office; he won the U.S. Presidential Election of 1916, dating the prologue as exactly ten years before.

Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Probably the trope responsible for Naveen's accent. The Maldonian accent (and language, from what we hear) sounds almost like a mix between French and Spanish. It only makes Naveen's suave flirting more effective.

Hollywood Voodoo
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_d8085f48
comment
Hollywood Voodoo: Disney did a good job showing a more varied and less cliched presentation of "Voodoo". Mentioning Hoodoo and giving themselves an escape hatch when Facilier says "I've got things I ain't even tried." implying he isn't stuck on any one tradition; he'll work with anything and anyone that can give him power. Mama Odie Disney is portrayed as a 'good' Voodoo priestess dressed in the traditional white, since Voodoo is usually seen as only something evil in Hollywood Voodoo. Facilier makes use of Voodoo dolls, usually the cliched object used to signify Voodoo is being used. However, the use of this object is actually traditional to Louisiana Voodoo. The use of any traditional religious symbols was avoided because they didn't want to offend anyone who practiced Voudou in real life. No Catholic trappings are to be found, despite the fact that many Voodoo adherents are also practicing Catholics and almost all Loa are identified with different saints. Facilier's "job" appears to be that of a bokor, a hired intermediary between humans and loa. And Mama Odie, being a priestess, DOES NOT like him for his troublemaking—which is the view of bokors in real life.

Soul Jar
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_d8e1b5a3
comment
Soul Jar: Dr. Facilier's amulet, though not granting him immortality, still fits since he sold his own soul to the Friends on the Other Side for the source of his powers. You break it, you bought it!. note This is a legitimate Voodoo fetish. A skilled bokor (witch for hire) can trap souls in a ouanga (spirit talisman) to fuel his own magic. However, he can only hold onto the spirits for so long, because all souls belong to Bondye (the one true God) and have to go back to him. It's still considered dark magic because you're interfering with them going to the afterlife.

comment
Make a Wish: Like Pinocchio, it focuses on wishing on a star; however, the story goes out of its way to say that you also have to work hard to make your dream happen. It's left ambiguous as to whether wishing on a star really does make wishes come true, or if it's just a coincidence. However, after Ray becomes a star, you're left with the impression that maybe Evangeline the wishing star is pretty powerful.

Exact Words
 The Princess and the Frog / Disney / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Word to the wise; when the creepy voodoo man says he sees 'green' in your future, do not assume he means money. Similarly, Lawrence probably assumes Facilier is speaking figuratively when he says he'll make him "Exactly the man he always wanted to be"). The Curse Escape Clause: In order to be freed, the affected victim has to "kiss a princess". In this case, Charlotte qualifies as the daughter of a 'King' (her father being declared King of Mardi Gras), but technically, a "princess" can be anyone who is married to a prince...even if said marriage just happened and the prince in question is also the one affected by the curse.

Never a Self-Made Woman: Weirdly narrative example: it's obvious to the viewer that Tiana gets her dreams through her own hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance, but every character who knows about Tiana's father attributes her success to his influence. At least one reference to Tiana's father being the source of her hard-working nature is made in every song she participates in, and in the end, she has to realize that her father wasn't just a hard worker, he was a family man too in order to learn her personal lesson.

Once Lawrence marries Charlotte, Facilier will kill Charlotte's father and take heirship of the LaBouff family, and promptly take control of New Orleans via the disguised Lawrence as well as take all the LaBouffs' wealth. After all that, he'll promptly offer the souls of all the people of New Orleans to his "Friends on the Other Side".

Dark Reprise: "Almost There" gets a short, somber reprise after Tiana loses the restaurant. It only lasts a few bars, but the "I'm almost there" becomes "I was almost there." The creepy undermelody of "Friends on the Other Side" is reprised when the Shadows grab Naveen to take him back to Facilier... and then once more, with gusto, when the Friends decide Facilier has used up all their good will - a rare example of a villain's tune being used against him. Likewise, "Friends on the Other Side" revisits a line from "Down in New Orleans": The melody of "Almost There" also is reprised (albeit slower) when Facilier begins his Circling Monologue. Don't forget the somber reprise of "Evangeline" that's played during Ray's funeral.

comment
Tiana, after the "Dig A Little Deeper" sequence, in which Mama Odie explains that you have to find out what you NEED to do, not WANT to do, and she asks Tiana if she understands. Tiana's answer: "Yes! I need to dig deeper, and work even harder to get my restaurant!" Mama Odie's response is an understandable Facepalm.

Comically Missing the Point: Tiana, after the "Dig A Little Deeper" sequence, in which Mama Odie explains that you have to find out what you NEED to do, not WANT to do, and she asks Tiana if she understands. Tiana's answer: "Yes! I need to dig deeper, and work even harder to get my restaurant!" Mama Odie's response is an understandable Facepalm. Louis makes the exact same mistake, though he also gets the point later. It's more understandable since the song wasn't directed at him. Tiana and Naveen head out on their journey. Tiana quickly realizes she's going to be pulling most of the weight.

comment
When Doctor Facilier reads Naveen and Lawrence's fortunes, the cards that are shown actually support what Facilier's talking about! Naveen is depicted holding a flower, which is a common depiction of the Fool. His second card shows him enjoying the company of two ladies, with the card numbered XV — the Devil, which in this case represents the seductive power of the pleasures of the world. Facilier changes it to the Tower (disaster and ruin) when speaking of Naveen's financial difficulties, then into the Nine of Cups, which often represents achieving one's dreams with a side order of 'be careful what you wish for'. Lawrence's reading revolves around the Ten of Wands, which represents burdens and stress, often self-imposed.
