The Princess and the Frog is set in the fictional city of New Orleans in Louisiana during the Jazz Age. The story follows a young girl named Tiana who dreams of opening her own restaurant. When she kisses a frog prince who has been turned into an amphibian by an evil witch doctor she is transformed into a frog herself. The two must find a way to break the spell and return to their human forms before it’s too late.
The movie is full of references to Louisiana culture including its music food and architecture. The setting is also significant because it is one of the few Disney films to take place in a historically black community. This representation is important because it helps to diversify the Disney princess lineup and provides young black girls with a relatable character to look up to.
