The Princess and the Frog is a Disney animated movie produced in 2009. The movie is based on the novel The Frog Princess written by Elizabeth Dawson Baker in 2002. According to Wikipedia, the film received largely positive reviews from critics and audiences, praising the animation (particularly the revival of the medium), characters, music, and themes, and was also successful at the box office, ranking first place on its opening weekend in North America, and grossing around $270 million worldwide becoming Disney’s most successful traditionally animated film since Lilo & Stitch in 2002. It also got three Oscar nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards: one for Best Animated Feature and two for its achievement in music (Original Song). It lost to Up and Crazy Heart, respectively[1]. Even so, the movie caught the attention of people regarding the racism that it contains.

Plot

Set during the 1920s New Orleans, the film recounts the account of a dedicated server named Tiana who had a dream of opening her own eatery. Soon after kissing a sovereign who has been transformed into a frog by a voodoo alchemist, Tiana turns into a frog herself and must figure out how to turn around into a human before it is past the point of no return.
