The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated film based on E. D. Baker’s novel The Frog Princess, which in turn was inspired by the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale “The Frog Prince”. It is the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics line, and the first of these films to be traditionally (2D) animated since Home on the Range (2004).
The film’s plot concerns a prince named Naveen (Bruno Campos) from the land of Maldonia, who is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming Voodoo magician Dr. Facilier (Keith David). The frog prince mistakes a girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. The kiss does not break the spell, but instead turns Tiana into a frog as well. Together, the two of them must reach the good Voodoo queen of the deepest, darkest part of the Bayou, Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis).
