The classic fairytale romance is retold in this magical animated musical from Walt Disney.
When the free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia (Bruno Campos) comes to New Orleans, a deal with a shady voodoo doctor Dr Facilier (Keith David) goes bad and the once-suave royal is turned into a frog. His desperate attempts to become human again lead him to a fateful kiss on the lips from a beautiful girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose). However, things takes an unexpected turn, leading them both on a serious of hilarious escapades through the mystical bayous of Louisiana to the banks of the mighty Mississippi River and back to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras. With the help of a 197-year-old voodoo priestess named Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis), a love-sick Cajun firefly called Ray (Jim Cummings), and Louis (Micahel-Leon Wooley), a trumpet-playing alligator, Tiana and her unlikely prince have the romantic adventure of a lifetime.
