A modern twist on a classic tale from Walt Disney Animation Studios features a beautiful girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) who dreams of owning her own restaurant. When she meets a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, a fateful kiss leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana…with the villainous voodoo magician Dr. Facilier (Keith David) in hot pursuit.

Did you know?

  • The animation style was influenced primarily by Lady and the Tramp (1955), for the city scenes, and Bambi (1942), for the bayou scenes. Those films were, in the directors’ opinion, “the peak of animation in the classic Disney animation style.”
  • Right at the beginning of the opening credits song, “Down in New Orleans,” you can see someone shaking a carpet out their window. It is the same as the magic flying carpet in Aladdin (1992), which was also directed by Ron Clements and John Musker.
  • The film takes place between 1913 and 1926.
