Frog Princess - Princess Tiana
From the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog, comes a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. She's the new princess in town and her name is Princess Tiana. Unfortunately, she has to venture as the frog princess until her quest is fulfilled.
Without a doubt, Princess Tiana will be hailed as a positive role model for all young girls regardless of ethnic background. Homage to Disney Studios for digging back to it’s roots to bring us a movie that again shows us that “dreams can come true.”
Princess Tiana is not your typical frog kissing Disney princess. She's a hard-working dreamer and not the type of person who'll wait for the star to fall out of the sky to grant her wishes. She's determined to make things happenand and make her own dreams come true. That's what makes this turned frog princess so different.
The perseverance of Princess Tiana is expressed in the song "Almost There" were the young princess expresses to her mother Eudora the desire to open and transform an old rundown building into a beautiful happening restaurant. She goes on faith and the words of her father James, who taught her the importance of always holding on to her dreams.
Throughout the movie Princess Tiana appears in three different forms. She appears as little girl, a grown up and of course as a frog princess. This is where the movie gets good.
In her sensible pursuit of her life’s goals, however, Tiana doesn’t really appreciate what is happening on her way to them. She can never simply slow down and enjoy herself. She has no time for romance, and is certainly not about to waste her time mooning over men—let alone kissing any frogs. Princess Tiana can't stand frogs. They're repulsive to her. She ironically meets Prince Naveen who is now a frog prince. In his attempt to be charming, but completely starting off on the wrong foot (Just like a man...ha-ha! Just kidding), he somehow convinces Tiana to kiss him. Unlike the result he or she expected, she turns into the frog princess. How ironic for someone who hates frogs! Princess Tiana becomes taken over by her frog instincts and ironically this is where the adventures begin.
