Synopsis:

Hardworking and ambitious, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) dreams of one day opening the finest restaurant in New Orleans. Her dream takes a slight detour when she meets Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos), who has been turned into an amphibian by evil Dr. Facilier. Mistaking her for a princess and hoping to break the spell, Naveen plants a kiss on poor Tiana -- thereby turning her into a frog as well. The pair hop along on an adventure through the bayous to seek the help of a powerful voodoo priestess.

Reviews:

The nineteen-twenties jazz-age setting and the primal-adventure storytelling are boilerplate Disney, scrubbed clean of any real local color. - New Yorker

The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color. - Reel Talk Online

It's a very cute film, a very accessible work for children and families. -Film.com

The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras. -Sydney News

One of Disney's final 2D animated films with a Disney princess is a very magical one. The soundtrack is one of their bests. The voice acting is well-realized with a beautifully diverse cast. The setting of New Orleans and the representation of the bayou is so comforting and make for a fun adventure to watch. It is truly heartwarming to see Disney finally give us a beautiful black Disney princess who is headstrong and hardworking.
