Same, I was about to say the same thing. She’s a spoiled brat but she’s a good friend, willing to take care of her friend first and also willing to give up her dream of being a princess for her friend. Charlotte is ride or die.
I have such strong feelings about this. Their friendship is one of the strongest in all of Disney. Lottie giving up her dreams immediately as soon as she has a chance to help Tiana. Instantly leaving the party and her guests to help Tiana after she hit the floor- having a dress in Tia’s size (and clearly not princess pink) just waiting for her in the closet, overpaying for her to cater the ball just because you know Tiana wouldn’t accept otherwise… Anyway, like I said, strong feelings about their beautiful friendship. 😅
Tbh I think we will learn more about it in the movie Wish coming out about the wishing star because Ray’s star is the second star the leads Peter Pan to Neverland so I think Disney already has the history thought out
@@V_4_Versace no neverland is second star to the right and straight on till morning. rays star is on the left so actually evageline is the one leading them to neverland.
Fun fact: the medal Tiana's father has next to his picture is the Distinguished Service Cross which is the second highest military award that anyone can get while serving in the United States military & he not just won it in WW1 but as a black man around 1917-1918. Man dis something so badass they couldn't deny him. Heartwarming fact: Jim Cummings the voice of Ray said that he took this movie cuz he's a New Orleans native & Tiana reminded him of his daughters
calling a parent "Big Daddy" was a pretty common thing in Ye Olde South. My great granny from Tennessee showed us a picture of her father once and she called *him* Big Daddy as well. Everyone did.
I want to bring this back mostly because I think it’s sooo funny 😭 my southern friends always get so mad at me when I ask how they big daddy or they big momma is doing 🤣😂
Fun fact about Princess and the Frog: it was the first Disney animated film where all of the voice actors for the characters also did the singing for their characters. In previous films, there was always at least one character who had separate actors doing the speaking and singing roles. It's now pretty much the norm that the voice actors will also do all of their own singing.
The death of at least one parent is a common trope in Disney films. Walt Disney's Mom died as the result of a gas leak shortly after his parents bought their house. The fake beauty mark, or Mouches, stems from French fashion during the 18th century (1700's), and were often used to cover smallpox scars. Funny that this is brought up because Louisiana was bought from the French First Republic in 1803.
Back to Lion King when they were lying in the grass talking about stars and Timon said “They’re fireflies that got stuck up in that big bluish black thing” also Ray’s star is the second star that leads Peter Pan to Neverland, both the stars are present in the Tinker Bell movies too ❤️
@@RedRoseSeptember22 y ah the star that many Disney characters wished on is the same star which is the story of the Disney princess film that comes out next year Wish
I still cry over Ray and Evangeline's story...and Lotti is one of my favorites. She's absolutely a spoiled mess, but she supports and loves her friend!
I think it's beautiful too how Ray and Evangeline's stars are a reference to the stars that Wendy, the boys and Peter fly towards in Peter Pan on the way to Neverland.
the medal on her father's picture is the Distinguished Service Cross- it's the second highest honor the military awards, for extreme heroism in combat.
Dr. Facillier is in my top 3 Disney villians alongside Scar and Ursula. All 3 of them were so damn ruthless and deliciously evil 😈😭 and had THE BEST villian songs.
The one superiority the Dr has over Ursula (though she'll always have the advantage of being inspired by the drag queen of the century Divine) is that he doesn't let his customers see the fine print
It’s crazy that u said that she sounded like Beyoncé bc the actress that plays Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) played in a movie called Dreamgirls alongside Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, and Jamie Foxx 3 years earlier. I highly recommend it. It’s a great movie❤
Beyonce was actually offered the role of Tiana but she turned it down because she didn't want to be casted for a movie simply because she was "famous" even if she was a good voice actor. Love the morale and ethics ❤
Lottie (Charlotte, the blonde friend) is one of my fav Disney side characters. She's such a good friend, so different from the typical portrayal of what that she could've been. Being spoiled and rich didn't mean she wasn't a good person, which I absolutely LOVED. Also, as a POC Tiana was always one of my all time fav princesses (Second only to Jasmine)
Everyone mentions Tiana’s dead dad, but no one mentions Charlotte’s mom is dead. Sure you could make excuses for her not being in most of the film, but she would absolutely have been at her daughter’s wedding. 1920’s New Orleans there’s no way she would have even been able to divorce Big Daddy. So this Disney movie actually gives us a dead dad and a dead mom.
Notre Dame is without a doubt one of the darkest Disney movies ever produced and the score for it is phenomenal. My two absolute favourite songs being Hellfire and Bells of Notre Dame
The name of Tiana's restaurant isn't a typo. It was "Tiana's Place" at the start of the movie, but at the end when she becomes a princess and finally buys the building she names it "Tiana's Palace", fittingly.
Being born and raised in Louisiana I have no trouble understanding Raymond but it’s so funny and interesting to see someone not from Louisiana’s perspective 😂
I read somewhere that Disney’s mom had died in a house fire while he and his dad were able to escape. He felt like it was his fault that his mom died. So that’s why in Disney movies there’s only one parent
This is in my favorites from Disney. Love the gator and Ray. Probably helps being a trumpet player myself. Disney always makes fun side characters. I also like the idea that being royalty isn't always good, and a person worthy of royalty can come from anywhere.
So refreshing to see a happy black family and a rich spoiled girl thats actually a good friend and not a bad person I love this movie ^^ Btw, an all white face and some beauty marks were a sign of royalty
Back then in Europe and Asia, a person who's skin was not subjected to sunlight like farmers were, was therefore seen as well-off since they didn't have to work apparently.
Belle, Merida, and Tiana are my favorite princesses in the Disney library. This was the last hand animated movie Disney Studios did, and it's gorgeous. I really hope Disney lets their animators release a traditional animation here and there, if just to keep the art alive.
as an animation student who’s very enthusiastic when it comes to 2D animation i agree. there’s nothing better than traditional Disney and i believe they switched to 3D because it’s become pretty popular, and it’s also ‘easier’ and slightly cheaper than 2D. with 3D you create a model and essentially do everything with it, you don’t have to keep redrawing. don’t get me wrong, 3D animation still takes a lot of time and a lot of money but generally it’s easier and often quicker to produce 3D than it is 2D.
I think if Tiana had asked Charlotte or big Daddy for the money they would've given it to her gladly because they're good people at heart (rich and Charlotte is really spoiled but still good at heart) but she didn't want to be in debt to them (though if it was a gift there'd be no debt) or to make it look like she needed help, she wanted to get there through her own work and not through what some might see as charity. Taking money from Charlotte for the party however that didn't count as being in debt or receiving charity because then she'd do work through her cooking and get paid for it.
21:16 his parents straight up threw him into a fire without teaching him anything and without money. Also remember the beginning of the movie he was told he had two options; marry a rich girl or get a job
Mama Odie already knew that the spell would break if Naveen and Tiana married as frogs, then kissed- since that would make her a princess. So she waited til they fell for each other on their own
And she teaches little girls you don't need some dick head guy in your life BUT true love is hard and rare to find so if you do there's nothing wrong with taking it and holding on to it
when i saw he reacted to tangled i SEARCHED for the princess and the frog video. PATF is my genuine comfort movie it makes me so happy and content- the song- the characters- the character development- THE ANIMATION!!! oh my gosh this movie is wrapped around my finger 😭🤚
I'm from New Orleans, born & raised. Unfortunately yes it is a dangerous place according to nonsensical violence. But this movie was very accurate to food, accents, culture & southern hospitality. Please pray for us to do better for New Orleans.
I love NOLA culture and its history - makes me sad to see its potential being overshadowed by crime. It should be a bigger modern art hub like NYC, LA, and Chicago in my opinion (though those cities are dangerous too.)
@ktlg Thank u!🙏🏽 I fell in love with New Orleans when it has so much love & potential! But right now it is so much toxic!

@@tracyleesmith781 I feel that. I hope it gets better 🙏 It should get more credit from music world. I would love to see it grow again as it once was. Rooting for you guys!
Ray and Evangeline 's story is so beautiful, yes I teared up when Ray died. I truly enjoyed this movie and I loved how supportive Charlotte was of Tiana's dreams, she offered Tiana the money when her and big daddy were in the restaurant, but Tiana didn't accept her money, she wanted to work for it.just how her father taught her.fyi Tiana was voiced by Anika Noni rose.and yes that is Keith David as doctor facilier, who creepped me out the first time I seen this movie. I have to say this movie was a great adaptation of the frog and the princess story. Great reaction. Miracles and blessings to you and yours ✌️.
"That's like a snack bruh." Apparently alligators don't digest food like humans do. If they had similar diets, they would become obese extremely quickly.
Walt Disney started the passed parent troupe because he lost his mother at a very young age, he thought it was important for kids to face stuff like that in a kind, not scary way, and then once he died, they just kept going with the characters losing parents 😂
The way I see it, the “Tiana’s Place/Tiana’s Palace” thing was completely intentional - Tiana’s dream is more complete at the end of the movie because she shares it with Naveen now.
Charlotte is the best "best friend" character in Disney. She's spoiled rotten, but over and over when she sees Tiana in trouble, she drops what she wants and helps her without question.
So. Apparently there’s a theory that dr faciller is mama oldie’s son, and the snake is his dad he turned into a snake took his fangs and wears them around his neck. 😊 i don’t like frogs either, my cousins kept throwing one on me and I threw it at a wall. Also I did cry when ray died.
Tiana is played by Anika Noni Rose. She is in Dream girls with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. She plays Laurel and she is also in For Colored Girls as well.
I'd have loved to have seen Laurence explain all of this in court. Side note, he's a completely different from the prince's servant in the original Grimm's brothers version of 'The Frog Prince' (where rather than a kiss from a princess being what can cure him, the cure is this one particular princess herself and she ends up breaking it by picking him up and throwing him, frog hits the wall, prince hits the floor) who after the prince is transformed wears three iron bars around his heart (either literally or around his chest) which all break when his heart breaks of joy when the prince is freed from his curse.
Lottie is one of my favourite animated characters full stop. She's a little ditzy and spoilt, but neither of these hold her back from being such a good friend to Tiana. And for anyone wondering why Lottie didn't just give Tia the money for the restaurants straight out, Tiana apparently wanted to earn it herself. Being able to cook the beignets for the event was finally a good reason for Lottie to hand the cash over!
The darkest movie Disney has done is called The Black Cauldron. Similar in style to The Secret of the Rats of Nym and Water ship Down, but not animals.
I love this movie ❤️ The part where Ray joins Evangeline in the sky always gets me 🥲 and the part when Tiana names her restaurant palace instead of place is intentional 😊
This movie got me to try making beignets. So far I’ve had two unsuccessful attempts and just made bite-sized fried dough you’d find at a cheap carnival. As for favorite Disney princess, had a big crush on Belle as a kid, but also gotta give it to Rapunzel. She’s a fun character and a go-getter.
My favorite princesses are Tiana, Pocahontas, Snow White, Mulan and Jasmine. Tiana and Pocahontas are my top two. I went to Disney and met Tiana and prince Navine. That was my highlight of my trip!
Damn I’m jealous! I did meet Merida from brave though, so that was definitely a highlight for me at Disney World. And Daisy Duck hugged me randomly which was nice.
Yay my favorite disney movie! I love Mama Odie and her song lol Ray and Evangeline gets me every time. I love his song for her and all the fireflies knew how much he loved her.
Till this day, this is my favorite Disney soundtrack. Down In New Orleans, Almost There, Friends on the Other Side, When We’re Human, Ma Belle Evangeline, DIG A LITTLE DEEPER- there’s not a single song in this movie that makes me wanna skip, I adore them all!
New Orleans is so much Fun. My Husband and I went the End of October. We never felt unsafe, had an absolute blast, and can't wait to go back. John Goodman (Lottie's dad) has a house in New Orleans we saw it on one of our tours
My favorite Disney princess was Cinderella bc of how nice and kind she was and ofc I loved her dress and I always wanted glass slippers lol. And I just admired how pretty she was too me, but I always try to live by her motto, to be kind to people even when they aren’t kind to you bc in the end my kindness will be rewarded just like hers was☺️
Ive been watching princess and the frog for as long as i can remember (im 17) and i still cry over ray dying 😭😭UR NOT HUMAN IF YOU ACTUALLY DONT CRY AT THAT SCENE
I enjoy your reactions particularly because you seem to be having so much fun and getting so much out of it. A lot of these movies don't get the love and respect they deserve so it's really nice to see people spreading the love. You make me laugh a ton too 😁
Yes, this movie is handrawn, in fact it was one of the last big 2d movies from Disney until they would transition to 3D animation. Don’t think it’s over though, Eric Goldberg, a famous Disney animator has said that the animation studio is currently working on animated projects, INCLUDING 2D ANIMATED FILMS!
The next princess movie you should watch is A Little Princess 1995. It's about a rich girl who goes to boarding school and after her father is promoted dead, she is forced to work as a servant. It's a good movie.
You know what... I did notice that everyone has a song in this movie except for Naveen. Naveen just plays guitar for the band. Not saying it's a bad thing, but I didn't notice it until recently.
This is the last hand-drawn Disney Princess movie. And they re-opened that part of disney just for this movie so Tiana would be like the original princesses.
i think my favourite disney princess was Belle, definitely one of the ones i watched the most as a kid. would love to see you check out the 2d version, even if you have seen the live action one, its only really the same in the script, the way its actually executed is pretty different (at least for me) also hunchback is another big one for me, probably still my favourite disney movie to this day.
I love how Charlotte is spoiled rotten, but she is so kind and generous and a great friend.
Yeah that was kind of refreshing to see.
Same, I was about to say the same thing. She’s a spoiled brat but she’s a good friend, willing to take care of her friend first and also willing to give up her dream of being a princess for her friend. Charlotte is ride or die.

She is "Speedwagon", incarnated; truely helpful.
I believe Evangeline was an actual firefly and Ray's girlfriend, she became a star when she died. That's why Ray ended up in the sky with her.
Yep I said the same to my hubby the other night when we watched it. :)

So. Apparently there’s a theory that dr faciller is mama oldie’s son, and the snake is his dad he turned into a snake took his fangs and wears them around his neck. 😊 i don’t like frogs either, my cousins kept throwing one on me and I threw it at a wall. Also I did cry when ray died.
that theory makes a load of sense
@@louiseabrams8366 I thought the same as well.
I love how this is like 1920’s or 1930’s New Orleans. I love that time period.
As a Louisiana native, this soundtrack is 🔥🔥
Tiana is played by Anika Noni Rose. She is in Dream girls with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. She plays Laurel and she is also in For Colored Girls as well.
“She’s making gumbo, what’s she 6 years old?” Lololol Cute movie 🍿
I had the same reaction at the start of the credits when I first watched this movie "is that ne-yo????" LOL
I'd have loved to have seen Laurence explain all of this in court.
Side note, he's a completely different from the prince's servant in the original Grimm's brothers version of 'The Frog Prince' (where rather than a kiss from a princess being what can cure him, the cure is this one particular princess herself and she ends up breaking it by picking him up and throwing him, frog hits the wall, prince hits the floor) who after the prince is transformed wears three iron bars around his heart (either literally or around his chest) which all break when his heart breaks of joy when the prince is freed from his curse.
Ray says "Go to bed, y'all from Shreveport!?" and every person from Ratchet City USA was like "BET!" 😂😂😂 including me
“Tiana’s mom sounds familiar. I know that voice”. It’s literally Oprah. Made me chuckle 😂😊
Your reaction to this movie had me cracking up! I want a friend like Lottie!!
5:33 bro went off on a tangent on a hypothetical. Lol This is the shit I love about Mello. 🤣💯
Mama Odie is legit the best character in the movie. She never ceases to make me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way Mellow keeps coming after Ray😭he’s my favorite leave him alone 🤧
Lottie is one of my favourite animated characters full stop. She's a little ditzy and spoilt, but neither of these hold her back from being such a good friend to Tiana.
And for anyone wondering why Lottie didn't just give Tia the money for the restaurants straight out, Tiana apparently wanted to earn it herself. Being able to cook the beignets for the event was finally a good reason for Lottie to hand the cash over!
it was called tiana’s place before because she wasn’t a princess. at the end they changed it to tiana’s palace because she’s a princess now :)
Definitely react and watch Hunchback of Notre Dame. The music is absolutely gorgeous, the animation is
The darkest movie Disney has done is called The Black Cauldron. Similar in style to The Secret of the Rats of Nym and Water ship Down, but not animals.
@@susanzenonian5085 Hunchback of Notre Dame is WAY darker than The Black Cauldron....
I love this movie ❤️ The part where Ray joins Evangeline in the sky always gets me 🥲 and the part when Tiana names her restaurant palace instead of place is intentional 😊
This movie got me to try making beignets. So far I’ve had two unsuccessful attempts and just made bite-sized fried dough you’d find at a cheap carnival.
As for favorite Disney princess, had a big crush on Belle as a kid, but also gotta give it to Rapunzel. She’s a fun character and a go-getter.
You NEED to watch Hunchback of Notre Dame! Probably the best Disney soundtrack!!!
My favorite princesses are Tiana, Pocahontas, Snow White, Mulan and Jasmine. Tiana and Pocahontas are my top two. I went to Disney and met Tiana and prince Navine. That was my highlight of my trip!
Damn I’m jealous! I did meet Merida from brave though, so that was definitely a highlight for me at Disney World. And Daisy Duck hugged me randomly which was nice.
Yay my favorite disney movie! I love Mama Odie and her song lol
Ray and Evangeline gets me every time. I love his song for her and all the fireflies knew how much he loved her.
I'm a 41 yr old guy and this is one of my favorite Disney movies, thanks for doing the reaction ✌️❤️
Did anyone else think when Ray became a star it looked like the 2 stars from petter pan!?? Second star to the right stright on till morning
Till this day, this is my favorite Disney soundtrack. Down In New Orleans, Almost There, Friends on the Other Side, When We’re Human, Ma Belle Evangeline, DIG A LITTLE DEEPER- there’s not a single song in this movie that makes me wanna skip, I adore them all!
I love that Mell’s intro looks like he’s bathing in the glory of an undefeated army
New Orleans is so much Fun. My Husband and I went the End of October. We never felt unsafe, had an absolute blast, and can't wait to go back. John Goodman (Lottie's dad) has a house in New Orleans we saw it on one of our tours
28:24 There's the key being behind the lock, and then there's smashing the door to get the key so you can unlock the door.
My favorite Disney princess was Cinderella bc of how nice and kind she was and ofc I loved her dress and I always wanted glass slippers lol. And I just admired how pretty she was too me, but I always try to live by her motto, to be kind to people even when they aren’t kind to you bc in the end my kindness will be rewarded just like hers was☺️
9:00 - a really cool detail during this bit is the wallpaper behind him within his shadow changes to a skull and crossbones
Lmao yooo all the dad jokes in the beginning were fucking killing me 😂😂😂😂
I remember seeing this when it came out the theatre was packed everyone laughed and a lot of kids loved it
Tiana has the most realistic initial reaction to the talking frog out of anyone in the world.
Princess and the frog is my favorite Disney movie of all time so iconic ❤️❤️
Every time he does his intro I do a air drum roll I can’t help it 😭💀
Ray was voiced by Jim Cummings, so i am willing to pet voiced your childhood as much as he did mine. He is such a talented voice actor.
I laughed too hard at “you sure it wasn’t already chipped” Lol
It's even funnier to hear that he has a favorite tooth.
I think you would love The Hunchback of Notre-Dame !
Ive been watching princess and the frog for as long as i can remember (im 17) and i still cry over ray dying 😭😭UR NOT HUMAN IF YOU ACTUALLY DONT CRY AT THAT SCENE
Omg PLEASE watch Hunch Back of Notre Dame when you get the chance. It's one of Disney's darkest movies but it's really good! I'm sure you'll love it😁
I hadn't noticed how Naveen looks at Facilier thr first time they meet. What was that "ouh" face 😂?
That’s Miss Anika Noni Rose singing! I love her voice
I always thought Evangeline was the fairy from Pinocchio 😆
Best Princess is Kida. Everyone forgets her but she's the most badass princess ever.
I enjoy your reactions particularly because you seem to be having so much fun and getting so much out of it. A lot of these movies don't get the love and respect they deserve so it's really nice to see people spreading the love. You make me laugh a ton too 😁
This is one of my fave recent Disney movies. So much heart, and unique characters. Great reaction!!!🤘
My favourite princess is Ariel from The Little Mermaid. And i love animated movies hand drawn. I like Princess and the Frog 😃
Yes, this movie is handrawn, in fact it was one of the last big 2d movies from Disney until they would transition to 3D animation.
Don’t think it’s over though, Eric Goldberg, a famous Disney animator has said that the animation studio is currently working on animated projects, INCLUDING 2D ANIMATED FILMS!
The next princess movie you should watch is A Little Princess 1995. It's about a rich girl who goes to boarding school and after her father is promoted dead, she is forced to work as a servant. It's a good movie.
You know what... I did notice that everyone has a song in this movie except for Naveen. Naveen just plays guitar for the band. Not saying it's a bad thing, but I didn't notice it until recently.
This is the last hand-drawn Disney Princess movie. And they re-opened that part of disney just for this movie so Tiana would be like the original princesses.
Princess and the frog is not only one of my top disney animation movie and it is my mom’s as well this is like my 7th or 8th reaction of mello
One of my favorite movies. My family (both sides) is from Louisiana so I understand Ray perfectly and it reminds me of my family 💚💚
i think my favourite disney princess was Belle, definitely one of the ones i watched the most as a kid. would love to see you check out the 2d version, even if you have seen the live action one, its only really the same in the script, the way its actually executed is pretty different (at least for me)
also hunchback is another big one for me, probably still my favourite disney movie to this day.
