The film is largely set in the Bayou after Tiana and the charming Prince Naveen are turned into frogs.
By contrast,Tiana’s restaurant is all-inclusive, making its popularity even more impressive.
This highlights the film’s themes of growth, extending to New Orleans as a whole.
This is most overt during Tiana’s efforts to procure her own business.
However, the way the film touches on some particularly heavy topics infuses them into the story.
Based on the classic fairytale, The Princess and the Frog follow Tiana, a hardworking New Orleans waitress in the 1920s who has big dreams of opening her own restaurant. When she becomes involved in a curse set upon a foreign prince by a witch doctor, however, Tiana must figure out a way to help the prince break the curse before time runs out. The film features the voices of Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Jim Cummings, Jennifer Cody, and John Goodman.
