“The Princess and the Frog” is a Disney animated musical film released in 2009. Set in 1920s New Orleans, the story revolves around Tiana, a hardworking young woman with dreams of opening her own restaurant. When Prince Naveen, who has been transformed into a frog by a voodoo witch doctor named Dr. Facilier, mistakes Tiana for a princess and kisses her, she too turns into a frog.

Together, they embark on an adventure through the Louisiana bayou to find Mama Odie, a powerful voodoo priestess, who may be able to reverse the curse. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, learn valuable life lessons, and discover the true meaning of love and friendship.


The film received critical acclaim for its return to traditional hand-drawn animation and the incorporation of jazz music, adding a unique charm to the story. The characters, especially Tiana, were praised for their strong personalities and relatable struggles. “The Princess and the Frog” highlights themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and breaking societal barriers to achieve one’s dreams.

In terms of earnings, “The Princess and the Frog” performed well at the box office, grossing over $267 million worldwide. Though it wasn’t as financially successful as some other Disney animated films, it still made a significant impact on audiences and contributed to the revival of traditional animation at Disney. The movie’s cultural representation and heartfelt story resonated with viewers of all ages, and it continues to be cherished as a beloved classic in the Disney filmography.
