I love how they didn't make Charlotte a villain in this. They could've easily made this another movie where women are fighting each other for a man and I'm so happy they didn't go down that route
I recently saw a post saying that despite everyone mocking Ray for falling in love with a star, it's most likely that he was never in love with a star, but actually had a partner firefly who died, and he knew that was her star. Never picked up on it myself but now it's been pointed out it makes a whole lot of sense
That would imply Ray is over 10 years old given that star was there when Tiana was a kid, and for Fireflies that's really old. Then again, it is a cartoon where one of the elderly lightbugs is inching along with a walker that never touches the ground and has no use since they are flying, so realism in the animal's lifespans may not apply.
I think Mulan has her beat if we don't count Tiana as a child. Tiana has 2 waitressing outfits, 1 song montage dress, 1 original party outfit, 1 ballgown from Lottie, lily wedding dress, new wedding dress, the outfit she wore at the property signing, and then her restaurant success outfit. For 9. Mulan has her pj's, green town dress, white shift, matchmaking undergarments, full matchmaking outfit, full armour, soldier skivvies, soldier pyjamas, medical bandage bralette, and the empire dress, for 10. Bonus: Mulan has a job as a soldier.
Being a person from Louisiana, I love the details of this movie. - Tiana is based on a real woman, her name is Leah Chase - The setting is 1920s Louisiana so the dynamic between her and Lottie actually being best friends is not necessarily common, so it was nice to see. Hence the 2 dudes belittling her. - Also the parallel dynamic of her saving Naveen with the "damsel in distress" mindest instead of it being herself - I also really love the different accents, from Cajun to Acadian - I don't know if you've ever seen the Brandy 1997 Cinderella, but Tiana's blue dress is based on the blue on Brandy wore - New Orleans is still like that but more...wild in a sense, especially during Mardi Gras. A whole bunch of different people. Its the place to go when you wanna have a good time but you also need to be cautious but thats anywhere honestly
This has (imo) the BEST Villain song of all Disney movies, Lion King is really up there too, but "Friends from the other side" is one of the only disney songs I will listen to on LOOP for hours at a time.
I actually met one of the producers for this movie and he’s just thankful this movie is now getting the attention it deserves and now we are getting a water ride based on this.
Tiana's Place (not palace) currently exists aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship. It's New Orleans themed, with Tiana and Louis as your hosts and offers a tasty menu of bayou favorites - including her "man catching" beignets. Definitely a fun time and if they make a land-based version at one of the parks, I am sure it will do well.
Tiana's friend is easily one of the highlights of this film. She is from a completely different background and is a little crazy, but she doesn't let that stop her from being best friends with Tiana.
@@Lola.185The "one good white person" trope? Yes, undeniably. But not outright white saviour, I don't think. Lottie didn't at any point swoop in to solve Tiana's problems for her a la Tom Cruise in the last samurai.
That is Keith David (who you may know as the Voice of Spawn from the HBO animated series and MK11) doing the Voice for Dr Facilier and it is an Amazing performance, along with an Iconic ending with him being Dragged to essentially Hell
I've got this image in my head now of Spawn being in charge of Dr. Facilier's eternal torment. They should have made one of the voodoo spirits resemble Spawn.
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 to Jasmine)
Don't know how true it is, but I heard that when casting Naveen the different audition tapes were taken around and played to the women in the different departments and they were asked to choose the most attractive sounding voice and it was overwhelmingly the choice that we hear in the film... I have to say that I would be in agreement if I had been asked! 😂
Tiana and Naveen are my favorite Disney couple. They are so well written and are so charming together. I’d say Tiana is my favorite Disney Princess as well. She feels so real and relatable.
It's the magic. They're originally human and turned into frogs. So I took it as the magic just allowed them to still speak to humans because they aren't originally animals. Also remember Tiana could hear and understand Naveen. Greg, the Chicago reference was 🤌🏽💚
Disney turned Tiana into a frog for 70% of the runtime because they knew she was too powerful and they could never get the kids to care about any of the princesses that came before her without a tad bit of sabotaging
Can we just talk about Tiana''s best friend. Like she's got that sense of entitlement to her but when it comes right down to it she's actually a really awesome and amazing supportive friend. She offers to give up her shot at happiness just so Tiana can be happy. Charlotte (Lottie) is actually one of the best supportive characters. Even if she's not in much of the movie, she shows just how much she values Tiana as a friend. P.S. Not to mention she actually helped Tiana in her dream to open a restaurant (Well tried) She even offered to pay the rest (I believe.) I honestly love Lottie.
i can assure you that yes New Orleans is still like this and in fact its way more lively and has similar music playing all the time lmao. I try and head out there every weekend and it just gets better and better. Also the voodoo and all. Food is the best part as well. It's a very chaotic but pleasant city.
Oh my force I love this movie it makes me miss 2D animation. I feel that this movie doesn’t get enough love!!! Tiana is such a great character. Love the reaction Greg can’t believe you haven’t seen this xxx
My wife and I actually did a tour of the swamp that Disney used for the inspiration for the swamp in this movie a few months ago and it was just as beautiful in person.
There's a restaurant in Downtown Disney called Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. It's based on this movie. It's my favorite restaurant of all time. You can get New Orleans food, including beignets! There are also Princess and the Frog cookbooks.
People may not recognize this but the story is being seen through the eyes of the past fireflies that died and turned into stars. Just take note in the beginning of the movie the stars are actually fireflies then at the end of the movie they surround Ray and Evangeline and get back into their normal positions as stars. 👌😎👍
Glad you finally watched it! Love this movie but totally get what you’re saying, I wanted more buildup to the lovey feelings. Can’t wait for splash mountain’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure makeover!
That's sad because I didn't like that she was a frog for 60% of her own movie. If this was more like Cinderella but chasing her dream and the Prince still with his arc but remain as HUMANS, I'd think this was better.
I love discovering the work put into a show or movie. The research put in by all teams. I read that in this movie some Art styles the artists was influenced when making The Princess and the Frog was: African American painter, Aaron Douglas and 1920's Harper's Bazar cover artist Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) During Almost there the possibility that Tiana's design is influenced by Josephine Baker.
One of my favorite Disney movies, wholly underappreciated. C'mon Friends on the Other Side is brilliant! -- Congrats again Greg on getting married! So happy for you mang!
Actually Disneyland is actually creating a princess and the frog themed area of Disneyland along with her restaurant-Tiana's Palace! there's going to be a ride and everything (splash mountain).
Tiana's Place (not Palace) currently exists aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship. Tiana and Louis are your hosts and it is Mardi Gras themed and you can even enjoy some of her "man catching" beignets along with other New Orleans fare.
One of our all time favorite Disney films! The animation, story, characters and songs are all magical! Makes us more excited for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure coming to Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. 😃✨
There's a fan theory that the shadow man is actually mama odie and the snakes son because of his constant snakelike personality and mannerisms as well as his affinity for voodoo
Evangeline being a star always made sense to me. I feel like She was a firefly that passed and is now a star. Only think this way because when I was a child my father always told me that when someone passes away, they’re reborn as a star. 😊
Completely agree to me what was missing was a but more depth to Tiana and Navin’s transition into actual romantic feelings i get that the movie makes it clear theres not much time and it is a Disney meet prince charming but Tiana seems to grounded of a character for it. At less that was to me what was of for a strong character like her to let lose and fall in love right of the bat was kinda odd but its still an overall great movie. I like the two messages very real the dad’s message that wishful thinking is not enough you have to put in some good work of your own and you have to make sure to remember the to make time to live and enjoy what that truly matter in life.

Disney is more sensible than that. If this was a Tyler Perry production then that self destructive sh*t would be the main upset of the whole movie.
She reminds me of an animated G rated version of Blanch from Golden Girls. I love this character!

Ray is my FAVORITE.
Yeah, I realized that while watching this video. 💘

@@ivorynk752 There's also a woman who's 198 years old, and Ray knows her well, so just proximity could extend lifespan via magic.
When the new star appeared after he died I thought about this😢. Never fully understood until I got a little older but I had an inkling😭
I think it's said that Tiana is the only princess that has a job AND the most costume/dress change.
I think Mulan has her beat if we don't count Tiana as a child.
Tiana has 2 waitressing outfits, 1 song montage dress, 1 original party outfit, 1 ballgown from Lottie, lily wedding dress, new wedding dress, the outfit she wore at the property signing, and then her restaurant success outfit. For 9.

Belle had a few different dresses to indicate time passing as she was living in the castle, but they pass by so quickly.

Actually the frog story is based on Brother's Grimm's The Frog Prince.
@@suezcontours6653 I know the plot with the frogs are but Tiana specifically isn't.
another Louisianian here!
Tiana wasn't based on Leah. She was inspired by Leah
@@morbiusfacebooklive thats what i was going for just wrong choice of words.
This has (imo) the BEST Villain song of all Disney movies, Lion King is really up there too, but "Friends from the other side" is one of the only disney songs I will listen to on LOOP for hours at a time.
If we don't get that drumbeat as we go up the final hill of Splash Mountain/Bayou Adventure...
I used to know it word for word, playing the RUclips clip over and over again 🤣 The song made him my favorite character at the time
Indeed Be Prepared and Friends On The Other-side are one of the best villain songs I’ve ever seen.
Friends on the other side, poor unfortunate souls and mother knows best are my personal favorite Disney villain songs.
No Hellfire?
I actually met one of the producers for this movie and he’s just thankful this movie is now getting the attention it deserves and now we are getting a water ride based on this.
Ahhh I just went and was lamenting the lack of Tiana. I will have to go back! I want a Tiana's Palace restaurant so badly too!
Tiana's Place (not palace) currently exists aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship. It's New Orleans themed, with Tiana and Louis as your hosts and offers a tasty menu of bayou favorites - including her "man catching" beignets. Definitely a fun time and if they make a land-based version at one of the parks, I am sure it will do well.
And they sometimes have a tasty cocktail called the Shadowman too!
Tiana's friend is easily one of the highlights of this film. She is from a completely different background and is a little crazy, but she doesn't let that stop her from being best friends with Tiana.
Tiana's white female friend was inserted to fulfil the white saviour trope and is one of the most disappointing aspects of this film.

I loved him as the voice of Goliath on Gargoyles too. I love his song in this film such a cool villain.
I've got this image in my head now of Spawn being in charge of Dr. Facilier's eternal torment. They should have made one of the voodoo spirits resemble Spawn.
@@roguechevelleI loved that show so much! I had a Demona action figure and the VHS/boardgame follow along. It was so cool!
"Almost There" is my all-time favorite song in a Disney movie and it's not even close.
That hand drawn animation style is so nostalgic!
Reminder: This was the last hand drawn 2D animated Disney film.
Actually the last hand-drawn animated movie from Disney was the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie.
Reminder: No it wasn't. Winnie the Pooh came out 2 years after this
I think they meant disney princess film
Well, it wouldn't have been the last if yall had gone out to see this move in theaters instead of on home video. But no, had to see Avatar instead.
@@tashaem1 Avatar looks great
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.

This is my favorite Disney film of all time. The best word to describe this is magic.

Fun Fact: Dr. Facilier Who Is Villian He Is Played By Keith David Who Also Voice Husk In Hazbin Hotel
Very underrated movie and makes me wish Disney would make more 2D movies instead of abandoning it again
I am not ashamed to say that I cried at Ray's death the first time I watched!
It's the magic. They're originally human and turned into frogs. So I took it as the magic just allowed them to still speak to humans because they aren't originally animals.
Also remember Tiana could hear and understand Naveen.

this is one of my top Disney movies its just so good. the music, the animation, the characters!!
I literally love REEL REJECTS!!! They have the best reaction videos, I really like greg, john and coy!
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. The music is exceptional.
"at least this rich white family is not racist" damn i laughed so hard
This ending of the Shadow Man always reminds me of the ending of Rasputin in Anastasia.

There's a fan theory that the shadow man is actually mama odie and the snakes son because of his constant snakelike personality and mannerisms as well as his affinity for voodoo
Believe it not, that was the original plan for Dr. Facilier before they changed it.

I believe they do have "Tiana's Place" on the Disney Magic and/or Disney Wonder cruise ship(s).
I'll NEVER forgive Disney for BingBong and Ray-Ray. NEVER.
Splash Mountain is going to become Princess and the Frog themed soon. I love this movie and hope we get more hand drawn animation eventually.
This film actually made a profit the year came out yet Disney decided to axe the 2-D animation department.
That's the last tradition animation movie until 3D animation takes over
I don't think Disney ever fail at their songs and musical scores (this is a compliment btw)
Completely agree to me what was missing was a but more depth to Tiana and Navin’s transition into actual romantic feelings i get that the movie makes it clear theres not much time and it is a Disney meet prince charming but Tiana seems to grounded of a character for it.
