Reviewers Analyze Disney's Culturally Rich, Trope-Bending Animated Feature
Discover why this film excels at deep character development and rich cultural immersion while simultaneously engaging critically with common animated tropes about representation and transformation sequences.
Short Summary
- Voice acting talent (Keith David, Jennifer Lewis) received widespread acclaim for their iconic performances.
- The New Orleans setting successfully used music, food (Gumbo, Beignets), and local culture to create an immersive environment.
- Reviewers analyzed the film’s adherence to, or subversion of, standard Disney romantic relationship arcs.
- Initial skepticism about watching another animated feature transformation into high praise for its unexpected depth.
This review session explores The Princess and the Frog (2009), noting how the setting transports the audience to New Orleans, celebrating its jazz and culinary scene. The discussion emphasizes the nuanced character arcs—especially Prince Naveen learning responsibility—while also acknowledging the problematic trend where Black characters are frequently denied remaining in their human form throughout the narrative.

Lottie is a great friend. She’s spoiled but she’s not rotten. She had that blue dress made for Tiana. She probably offered Tiana money but Tiana didn’t want to take handouts. Her dad said that she has to work hard and that’s what she did.
Fun fact: This is Walt Disney Animation Studios first musical film in which all of the voice actors do both the speaking and singing parts since Beauty and the Beast (1991).
Man... As a black southern woman from Louisiana, this movie was sooo important when it came out. Took my daughter every week to see it. She's now in culinary school in Paris. So proud of her.
As a Louisiana girl, I love this movie this was such a moment when it came out. You guys know the voice of Tiana from Dreamgirls and Tiana is based on Leah Chase was the first black woman to own her own restaurant in NOLA. She’s passed now but the restaurant is still there. And Keith Davids Dr Facilier is a top 5 Disney villain song for me
Evangeline was a firefly before she died and turned into a star. I think yall missed when Ray said one day we’ll be reunited again. Btw naveen is south Asian.
KATT WILLIAMS WENT OFF WHEN THIS MOVIE FIRST CAME OUT CAUSE THEY MADE THE 1ST BLK DISNEY PRINCESS A FROG THE WHOLE MOVIE 😂 HE DID A STAND UP ABT IT
I love how the alligator character's name is Louis as a way to pay and show homage to Louis Armstrong who is from New Orleans and was one of the pioneers for creating Jazz music
You probably don’t recognize her name Jaby but Tiana is played by Anika noni rose. She played lorrell in dreamgirls. She was also in for colored girls.
Jaby: Facilier tricked Naveen by saying, "Oh, you want to be free to HOP from place to place anytime you please. I see the GREENEST of GREEN in your future." Naveen is thinking he is talking about money and financial freedom but Facilier meant he would turn him into a green frog to be free to hop about anywhere he liked. 🐸
Lottie was most definitely not a brat in my opinion. She was just spoiled. She didn't throw a tantrum when Naveen wanted Tiana and was all for it and supported Tiana in her endeavors. I think they wrote her character as spoiled but not in a hateful way Also I believe this was Disney's last hand drawn movie
