The Princess and the Frog

When Charlotte kisses Prince Naveen as a frog, toward the end of movie, he is covered with lipstick kisses, but in the next shot the lipstick is gone.

When Naveen is mincing a mushroom for Tiana, you can see that his fingers are clearly in the way of the knife, yet he does not cut himself when he slices through the mushroom.

In the final scene you see the Mississippi River behind St.

Louis Cathedral.

In actuality the Mississippi River is in front of the Cathedral.

When Prince Naveen prepares the romantic dinner, he leans over the improvised table, and falls.

However, only seconds later he gets up and sits on the edge of the table, which this time supports his full weight.

In the beginning of the movie, Tiana's dad writes "Tiana's PLACE" on the picture.

At the end, the menu reads "Tiana's PLACE", but the restaurant is named "Tiana's PALACE".

This deliberate name change is to emphasize the fact that Tiana is now a princess.

When Dr.

Facilier steps on Ray, the sound indicates that the bug is crushed.

A little later, Ray is shown still alive (though just barely) and in one piece.

Tiana is left-handed, but sometimes uses her right hand for writing and kitchen work.

For much of European and American history, society considered using the left hand to be sinful or unnatural, so "lefties" often felt compelled to use the right hand in polite company.

During the opening musical number, Big Daddy holds up a newspaper while in the car revealing a number of headlines including "Ford Corporation Introduces Trimotor" and "'Gertrude Ederle' (qv) Readies to Swim the English Channel.

" Neither of these events, nor Mardi Gras for that matter, took place on the newspaper's supposed date of April 25th 1926.

The Trimotor first flew in June 1926, Ederle wouldn't swim the English Channel until August 6th, and Mardi Gras in 1926 fell on February 16th.

The fireflies consider themselves Cajun, but play Creole music.

Human definitions and divisions are not required to apply to insects.

Louis is established to be an alligator in the film.

But when an alligator's mouth is closed, its teeth do not show out like a crocodile's.

In the shots where Louis's mouth is closed, his teeth are showing.

There are at least two references to "Bananas Foster," however this dish wasn't introduced until 1951.

Towards the end of the movie when Tiana is building her restaurant, the building on the left slides over to the left in the last flash scene.

On several occasions (particularly in "Almost There" and at the ball), there are numerous people either drinking or holding glasses of wine or champagne.

This movie is set primarily in the 1920s.

The possession and sale of alcohol in the United States was illegal between 1919 and 1933, because of the 18th Amendment (Prohibition), though Prohibition was widely disregarded, especially in New Orleans.

After Dr.

Facilier retrieves the talisman from Tiana he turns her back into a frog and pins her down with his cane.

The cane is there but after she grabs the talisman with her tongue the cane disappears and is nowhere to be found.

During the song "Friends on the other side" Dr Facilier spreads the cards from right to left.

After a cut to Prince Naveen's face the cards have switched directions as if spread from left to right allowing him to flip them over the way he did.

The first time you see Tiana swaying with the music Charlotte and Naveen are dancing to, she isn't wearing any earrings.

The second time you see her swaying, however, she has a pair on.

The first time the brunette and the blonde are seen clapping along with Naveen's performance, the brunette is wearing a lot of jewelry.

However, the second time they are shown, some of the jewelry is gone.

When Lou tells Naveen "No.

" after listing the many threats of the bayou, it does not match up with his lips moving on the screen.

The sound is just a little bit late.

In the scene where Tiana is debating whether or not to kiss the frog there is a portrait on the back wall the keeps on disappearing and reappearing.

The newspaper at the beginning of the movie talks about Naveen's trip to the states and reports that the small obscure country sent their only son.

At the end of the movie in Tiana's Palace Charlotte is dancing with Naveen's six and half year old brother.

A Prince is transformed into a frog by a voodoo magician and when waitress Tiana kisses him, she too becomes a frog.

I'm very late to the party but this movie is amazing!! I hadn't watched it since I was a kid a good 10 years ago and thought I'd re-watch it.

Tiana, Disney's first African-American princess, makes her appearance in the film, with music by the great Randy Newman. The soundtrack features jazz, zydeco, blues, and gospel authentic American musical styles.

In the beginning, I really believed this would be a Disney film that I enjoy. -I've seen Tiana thrown onto Princess decor alongside Disney classic princesses, so it must be a great movie, right?

Its been a while since I watched this movie but wow, what a way for Disney to die. It was offensive in many ways and I felt it unknowingly crossed the line culturally, racially, and religiously.

Whether or not it's more racially enlightened than classic Disney films - personally, I wasn't too bothered by the slick, slightly watered down, PC take on racial issues, which is all that I expected from them - The Princess and the Frog is a charming piece of film, and the first one in many years that resembles the magic of Disney's Renaissance era, that of the late 80's and early 90's. It could be argued that it's not necessarily a good thing - the main characters are cookie-cutter copies of the ones from previous Disney cartoons.

Visually this movie looks beautiful, but unfortunately it was a little boring, which is kind of odd for a Disney animated film. I can look past almost every other hangup I might have with a movie if I am genuinely entertained, but not boredom.

I tried posting twice on a very lengthy review and it wasn't showing up despite reviews I made after are posting.So I'm going to give a weak review on this one and see what will happen.

Same predictable theme. 2 beings from different worlds get to know each other and fall in love, get married, live happily ever after.
