The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated family film loosely based on E. D. Baker's novel The Frog Princess, which was in turn inspired by the Grimm brothers' fairy tale "The Frog Prince".

Plot

Years pass by, and James has died during his military service in the final years of World War I. Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) becomes a beautiful young woman who works two jobs as a waitress to save up money towards starting her own restaurant. Meanwhile, Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos) arrives in New Orleans from his home country of Maldonia with his valet, Lawrence (Peter Bartlett). Naveen wants to have fun and enjoy the partying and jazz that New Orleans has to offer, but Lawrence reminds him that his parents (the King and Queen of Maldonia) have cut him off for his extravagant lifestyle; he must either get a job or marry Charlotte for her father's wealth. ("Down in New Orleans")

Charlotte's father Eli 'Big Daddy' LaBouff holds a masquerade ball in honor of Naveen's arrival, and Charlotte is determined to marry the prince. She pays Tiana to make beignets for the party, giving her just the right amount of cash Tiana needs to finally buy her restaurant. Tiana shows Eudora the abandoned sugar mill that will soon be home to her and James' realized dreams ("Almost There"). Meanwhile, Naveen and Lawrence run into the shady Dr. Facilier (Keith David), a voodoo doctor otherwise known as "The Shadow Man". He plans to get his hands on the LaBouff fortune after hearing of the prince's arrival. Knowing of Naveen's financial woes, and playing off of Lawrence's inner wish to gain respect and revenge after a lifetime of humiliation and servitude, Facilier tricks Naveen and transforms him into a frog (he ironically asks him if it's "the green" he wants, though Naveen thought it was money) and gives Lawrence a charm that turns him into a Naveen look-alike ("Friends On the Other Side").

At the ball, Charlotte successfully flirts with Lawrence (who is now in the Naveen disguise). Tiana runs into the realtors who sold her the mill and they tell her that they received a higher offer for it, otherwise if she can't top it, she will lose the mill forever. Their attempts to comfort her are nothing but a disguised insult to her and they accidentally ruin her costume. Charlotte gives Tiana a tiara and a new dress to wear, which makes her look like a beautiful princess. Desperate, Tiana wishes on the Evening Star ("Almost There Reprise") and finds the frog Naveen sitting next to her. She sarcastically asks if he wants a kiss and is shocked to hear him reply. After Tiana smacks him with Charltte's fairy tale book, Naveen believes that he must be kissed by a princess in order to become human again. He thinks Tiana is a real princess due to her costume and promises to reward her if she will kiss him. Overcoming her inhibitions, Tiana plants a kiss on Naveen, but rather than turning Naveen back into a human, Tiana is transformed into a frog herself. They cause a ruckus at the party and narrowly escape to the bayou.

The charm that gives Lawrence Naveen's appearance uses the prince's blood, but the prince's escape means they no longer have a constant supply of it. Lawrence manages to propose to Charlotte while hiding his quickly reversing transformation and she eagerly accepts. Facilier is infuriated that Naveen has escaped. Knowing that this will put him in deeper debt with the spirits who gave him the charm, he has no choice but to call on them to find Naveen. In exchange, he promises them that once he kills Big Daddy and owns the fortune, he will allow the spirits to control all of New Orleans and own the wayward souls that inhabit it. Appeased, the spirit world gives Facilier the power to control shadow demons that go in search of Naveen.

In the bayou, Tiana and Naveen encounter Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley), a trumpet playing alligator who wants to be human so he can play jazz without scaring people away. After telling them about the good voodoo priestess Mama Odie, he takes Tiana and Naveen to see her so they can all become human ("When We're Human"). Along the way they meet a Cajun firefly, Ray (Raymond) (Jim Cummings), who leads them in the right direction with the help of his huge and bright family ("Gonna Take You Down"). Ray is in love with the Evening Star, whom he calls Evangeline ("Ma Belle Evangeline"). Along the way, Tiana and Naveen help each other escape a trio of frog hunters, Tiana teaches Naveen to cook and they share a dance together under the stars. They are falling in love, though they try to hide their feelings.

Naveen is almost kidnapped by the shadow demons but is rescued by Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis). Once they reach her home, Mama Odie advises the frogs to "Dig a Little Deeper" to find out what is truly important. Naveen realizes this means being with Tiana, but Tiana thinks that she must work even harder to get her restaurant. Mama Odie still wants to help, and tells them that Naveen must kiss Charlotte (who is the Mardi Gras Princess, since her father is King of the Mardi Gras parade) before midnight in order for them to become human. Tiana and her friends return to New Orleans via riverboat, where Louis gets to play his trumpet since everyone thinks he's wearing a Mardi Gras costume. Naveen tells Ray about his feelings for Tiana and decides to ask her to marry him and get a job so he can help her earn money. He prepares a beautiful dinner for her as they pass the mill. Tiana tells Naveen about the dreams she and her father had, leaving Naveen thinking that this is more important to her than he is. Willing to give up his dream for her, he tells her he will marry Charlotte so he can give her the money for her restaurant. Once they reach New Orleans, however, Naveen is taken by the demons and brought back to Facilier and Lawrence.

Ray accidentally tells Tiana that Naveen truly loves her and was about to propose to her. Ecstatic, Tiana goes to the Mardi Gras parade to find Lawrence marrying Charlotte, having re-fueled the voodoo charm. Thinking he is the real Naveen, Tiana escapes to a graveyard to be alone, feeling brokenhearted. Ray tries to comfort her but she angrily tells him that it's useless to dream and Evangeline is nothing but a star. Ray rushes off to discover the truth and manages to free the real Naveen and steal the charm. Facilier chases Ray back to the graveyard. Ray uses his light to destroy some of the shadows but is no match for Facilier. He manages to give the charm to Tiana before Facilier crushes him under his foot. Finding Tiana, Facilier temporarily transforms her back into a human and surrounds her with a fantasy of her restaurant. He offers her everything she ever wanted if she gives him back the charm, reminding her that her father worked all his life but never got what he wanted. Remembering what her father told her, Tiana sees that he didn't get what he wanted, but he had what he needed, love. Unfortunately, despite her turning down his deal, Facilier still gets the charm back and transforms Tiana back into a frog before she can break it. Just as he's gloating, Tiana uses her tongue to snatch the charm back and destroys it, releasing the spirits. A terrified Facilier tries to beg the spirits for more time to pay back his debt, saying he has more plans, but they drag him and his shadow into their world forever (Friends On The Other Side Reprise). All that remains of Facilier is a gravestone with his name and terrified face on it.

It is almost midnight. Charlotte searches for Naveen but comes across Lawrence in his true form as the charm was destroyed. With the truth revealed, Lawrence gets arrested for his actions and Naveen introduces himself to her. Tiana finds them just as Naveen asks Charlotte to give Tiana the money for her restaurant once they kiss and are married because he loves Tiana. Tiana tells him he does not have to do this for her because she loves him and would spend the rest of her days as a frog to be with him. Moved by this, Charlotte says she will kiss Naveen so he and Tiana can be together. But the clock strikes midnight before she can and it is too late. Louis brings the wounded Ray to Tiana and Naveen. They tell him that they are going to stay together as frogs, which makes him happy as he looks up at at Evangeline, closes his eyes, and dies.
