Web: https://www.nypl.org/locations/seward-park“The Princess and the Frog” (2009) is a Disney animated musical film set in 1920s New Orleans. The story follows Tiana, a hardworking and ambitious young woman who dreams of opening her restaurant. Her life takes a magical turn when she meets Prince Naveen, who has been transformed into a frog by the villainous Dr. Facilier, a cunning voodoo sorcerer. Mistaking Tiana for a princess, Naveen convinces her to kiss him to break the spell, but the plan also backfires, turning Tiana into a frog.
Together, Tiana and Naveen embark on a journey through the Louisiana Bayou to find a way to become human again. Along the way, they befriend a trumpet-playing alligator named Louis and a lovesick firefly named Ray. As they face various challenges, Tiana and Naveen grow closer, learning important lessons about love, dreams, and what truly matters in life.
The film is a modern twist on the classic fairy tale “The Frog Prince”, blending vibrant animation, memorable music, and a heartfelt story about perseverance, self-discovery, and the power of love. It also marks Disney’s first African-American princess, celebrating diversity and cultural richness.
