Same, I was about to say the same thing. She’s a spoiled brat but she’s a good friend, willing to take care of her friend first and also willing to give up her dream of being a princess for her friend. Charlotte is ride or die.
I have such strong feelings about this. Their friendship is one of the strongest in all of Disney. Lottie giving up her dreams immediately as soon as she has a chance to help Tiana. Instantly leaving the party and her guests to help Tiana after she hit the floor- having a dress in Tia’s size (and clearly not princess pink) just waiting for her in the closet, overpaying for her to cater the ball just because you know Tiana wouldn’t accept otherwise… Anyway, like I said, strong feelings about their beautiful friendship. 😅
Tbh I think we will learn more about it in the movie Wish coming out about the wishing star because Ray’s star is the second star the leads Peter Pan to Neverland so I think Disney already has the history thought out
@@V_4_Versace no neverland is second star to the right and straight on till morning. rays star is on the left so actually evageline is the one leading them to neverland.
Fun fact: the medal Tiana's father has next to his picture is the Distinguished Service Cross which is the second highest military award that anyone can get while serving in the United States military & he not just won it in WW1 but as a black man around 1917-1918. Man dis something so badass they couldn't deny him. Heartwarming fact: Jim Cummings the voice of Ray said that he took this movie cuz he's a New Orleans native & Tiana reminded him of his daughters
calling a parent "Big Daddy" was a pretty common thing in Ye Olde South. My great granny from Tennessee showed us a picture of her father once and she called *him* Big Daddy as well. Everyone did.
I want to bring this back mostly because I think it’s sooo funny 😭 my southern friends always get so mad at me when I ask how they big daddy or they big momma is doing 🤣😂
Fun fact about Princess and the Frog: it was the first Disney animated film where all of the voice actors for the characters also did the singing for their characters. In previous films, there was always at least one character who had separate actors doing the speaking and singing roles. It's now pretty much the norm that the voice actors will also do all of their own singing.
Back to Lion King when they were lying in the grass talking about stars and Timon said “They’re fireflies that got stuck up in that big bluish black thing” also Ray’s star is the second star that leads Peter Pan to Neverland, both the stars are present in the Tinker Bell movies too ❤️
@@RedRoseSeptember22 y ah the star that many Disney characters wished on is the same star which is the story of the Disney princess film that comes out next year Wish
The death of at least one parent is a common trope in Disney films. Walt Disney's Mom died as the result of a gas leak shortly after his parents bought their house. The fake beauty mark, or Mouches, stems from French fashion during the 18th century (1700's), and were often used to cover smallpox scars. Funny that this is brought up because Louisiana was bought from the French First Republic in 1803.
I still cry over Ray and Evangeline's story...and Lotti is one of my favorites. She's absolutely a spoiled mess, but she supports and loves her friend!
I think it's beautiful too how Ray and Evangeline's stars are a reference to the stars that Wendy, the boys and Peter fly towards in Peter Pan on the way to Neverland.
the medal on her father's picture is the Distinguished Service Cross- it's the second highest honor the military awards, for extreme heroism in combat.
Everyone mentions Tiana’s dead dad, but no one mentions Charlotte’s mom is dead. Sure you could make excuses for her not being in most of the film, but she would absolutely have been at her daughter’s wedding. 1920’s New Orleans there’s no way she would have even been able to divorce Big Daddy. So this Disney movie actually gives us a dead dad and a dead mom.
Lottie (Charlotte, the blonde friend) is one of my fav Disney side characters. She's such a good friend, so different from the typical portrayal of what that she could've been. Being spoiled and rich didn't mean she wasn't a good person, which I absolutely LOVED. Also, as a POC Tiana was always one of my all time fav princesses (Second only to Jasmine)
It’s crazy that u said that she sounded like Beyoncé bc the actress that plays Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) played in a movie called Dreamgirls alongside Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, and Jamie Foxx 3 years earlier. I highly recommend it. It’s a great movie❤
Beyonce was actually offered the role of Tiana but she turned it down because she didn't want to be casted for a movie simply because she was "famous" even if she was a good voice actor. Love the morale and ethics ❤
Dr. Facillier is in my top 3 Disney villians alongside Scar and Ursula. All 3 of them were so damn ruthless and deliciously evil 😈😭 and had THE BEST villian songs.
The one superiority the Dr has over Ursula (though she'll always have the advantage of being inspired by the drag queen of the century Divine) is that he doesn't let his customers see the fine print
Notre Dame is without a doubt one of the darkest Disney movies ever produced and the score for it is phenomenal. My two absolute favourite songs being Hellfire and Bells of Notre Dame
I read somewhere that Disney’s mom had died in a house fire while he and his dad were able to escape. He felt like it was his fault that his mom died. So that’s why in Disney movies there’s only one parent
The name of Tiana's restaurant isn't a typo. It was "Tiana's Place" at the start of the movie, but at the end when she becomes a princess and finally buys the building she names it "Tiana's Palace", fittingly.
Being born and raised in Louisiana I have no trouble understanding Raymond but it’s so funny and interesting to see someone not from Louisiana’s perspective 😂
So refreshing to see a happy black family and a rich spoiled girl thats actually a good friend and not a bad person I love this movie ^^ Btw, an all white face and some beauty marks were a sign of royalty
Back then in Europe and Asia, a person who's skin was not subjected to sunlight like farmers were, was therefore seen as well-off since they didn't have to work apparently.
Belle, Merida, and Tiana are my favorite princesses in the Disney library. This was the last hand animated movie Disney Studios did, and it's gorgeous. I really hope Disney lets their animators release a traditional animation here and there, if just to keep the art alive.
as an animation student who’s very enthusiastic when it comes to 2D animation i agree. there’s nothing better than traditional Disney and i believe they switched to 3D because it’s become pretty popular, and it’s also ‘easier’ and slightly cheaper than 2D. with 3D you create a model and essentially do everything with it, you don’t have to keep redrawing. don’t get me wrong, 3D animation still takes a lot of time and a lot of money but generally it’s easier and often quicker to produce 3D than it is 2D.
This is in my favorites from Disney. Love the gator and Ray. Probably helps being a trumpet player myself. Disney always makes fun side characters. I also like the idea that being royalty isn't always good, and a person worthy of royalty can come from anywhere.
21:16 his parents straight up threw him into a fire without teaching him anything and without money. Also remember the beginning of the movie he was told he had two options; marry a rich girl or get a job
Mama Odie already knew that the spell would break if Naveen and Tiana married as frogs, then kissed- since that would make her a princess. So she waited til they fell for each other on their own
I'm from New Orleans, born & raised. Unfortunately yes it is a dangerous place according to nonsensical violence. But this movie was very accurate to food, accents, culture & southern hospitality. Please pray for us to do better for New Orleans.
I love NOLA culture and its history - makes me sad to see its potential being overshadowed by crime. It should be a bigger modern art hub like NYC, LA, and Chicago in my opinion (though those cities are dangerous too.)

Charlotte is the best "best friend" character in Disney. She's spoiled rotten, but over and over when she sees Tiana in trouble, she drops what she wants and helps her without question.
Fun fact: beyonce was actually supposed to play tiana, but when they told her she would have to audition and didn't just get the role straight away she turned it down. And thats why i love the woman who actually sings these songs so much. Anika had admittedly very big shoes to fill in the eyes of disney and her singing voice genuinely is so amazing that i kinda think she would have gotten the part anyway tbh.
I think if Tiana had asked Charlotte or big Daddy for the money they would've given it to her gladly because they're good people at heart (rich and Charlotte is really spoiled but still good at heart) but she didn't want to be in debt to them (though if it was a gift there'd be no debt) or to make it look like she needed help, she wanted to get there through her own work and not through what some might see as charity. Taking money from Charlotte for the party however that didn't count as being in debt or receiving charity because then she'd do work through her cooking and get paid for it.
The way I see it, the “Tiana’s Place/Tiana’s Palace” thing was completely intentional - Tiana’s dream is more complete at the end of the movie because she shares it with Naveen now.
when i saw he reacted to tangled i SEARCHED for the princess and the frog video. PATF is my genuine comfort movie it makes me so happy and content- the song- the characters- the character development- THE ANIMATION!!! oh my gosh this movie is wrapped around my finger 😭🤚
Ray and Evangeline 's story is so beautiful, yes I teared up when Ray died. I truly enjoyed this movie and I loved how supportive Charlotte was of Tiana's dreams, she offered Tiana the money when her and big daddy were in the restaurant, but Tiana didn't accept her money, she wanted to work for it.just how her father taught her.fyi Tiana was voiced by Anika Noni rose.and yes that is Keith David as doctor facilier, who creepped me out the first time I seen this movie. I have to say this movie was a great adaptation of the frog and the princess story. Great reaction. Miracles and blessings to you and yours ✌️.
And she teaches little girls you don't need some dick head guy in your life BUT true love is hard and rare to find so if you do there's nothing wrong with taking it and holding on to it
"That's like a snack bruh." Apparently alligators don't digest food like humans do. If they had similar diets, they would become obese extremely quickly.
New Orleans Creole I have always felt was one of the most beautiful of the north American subcultures. The history, the food, the music… And they were always ahead of the curve as far as social progress. This movie portrays New Orleans from 1912-1920 when Jim Crow laws were still in full effect. Meanwhile, New Orleans challenged segregation and had mixed-race neighborhoods, bands and social clubs. This led to one of history’s most influential music genres in the birth of Jazz.
Walt Disney started the passed parent troupe because he lost his mother at a very young age, he thought it was important for kids to face stuff like that in a kind, not scary way, and then once he died, they just kept going with the characters losing parents 😂
So. Apparently there’s a theory that dr faciller is mama oldie’s son, and the snake is his dad he turned into a snake took his fangs and wears them around his neck. 😊 i don’t like frogs either, my cousins kept throwing one on me and I threw it at a wall. Also I did cry when ray died.
Yay my favorite disney movie! I love Mama Odie and her song lol Ray and Evangeline gets me every time. I love his song for her and all the fireflies knew how much he loved her.
I love this movie ❤️ The part where Ray joins Evangeline in the sky always gets me 🥲 and the part when Tiana names her restaurant palace instead of place is intentional 😊
Till this day, this is my favorite Disney soundtrack. Down In New Orleans, Almost There, Friends on the Other Side, When We’re Human, Ma Belle Evangeline, DIG A LITTLE DEEPER- there’s not a single song in this movie that makes me wanna skip, I adore them all!
Tiana is played by Anika Noni Rose. She is in Dream girls with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. She plays Laurel and she is also in For Colored Girls as well.
I'd have loved to have seen Laurence explain all of this in court. Side note, he's a completely different from the prince's servant in the original Grimm's brothers version of 'The Frog Prince' (where rather than a kiss from a princess being what can cure him, the cure is this one particular princess herself and she ends up breaking it by picking him up and throwing him, frog hits the wall, prince hits the floor) who after the prince is transformed wears three iron bars around his heart (either literally or around his chest) which all break when his heart breaks of joy when the prince is freed from his curse.
Lottie is one of my favourite animated characters full stop. She's a little ditzy and spoilt, but neither of these hold her back from being such a good friend to Tiana. And for anyone wondering why Lottie didn't just give Tia the money for the restaurants straight out, Tiana apparently wanted to earn it herself. Being able to cook the beignets for the event was finally a good reason for Lottie to hand the cash over!
This movie got me to try making beignets. So far I’ve had two unsuccessful attempts and just made bite-sized fried dough you’d find at a cheap carnival. As for favorite Disney princess, had a big crush on Belle as a kid, but also gotta give it to Rapunzel. She’s a fun character and a go-getter.
I enjoy your reactions particularly because you seem to be having so much fun and getting so much out of it. A lot of these movies don't get the love and respect they deserve so it's really nice to see people spreading the love. You make me laugh a ton too 😁
New Orleans is so much Fun. My Husband and I went the End of October. We never felt unsafe, had an absolute blast, and can't wait to go back. John Goodman (Lottie's dad) has a house in New Orleans we saw it on one of our tours
My favorite princesses are Tiana, Pocahontas, Snow White, Mulan and Jasmine. Tiana and Pocahontas are my top two. I went to Disney and met Tiana and prince Navine. That was my highlight of my trip!
Damn I’m jealous! I did meet Merida from brave though, so that was definitely a highlight for me at Disney World. And Daisy Duck hugged me randomly which was nice.
17:30 😂 The laugh to the shock and disbelief, had me laughing. Same, this dude didn't help at all. Half way through the video and I'm already consider subscribing. Also, awesome subscribe edit, like when you zoom out and it looks like watching a video within the video. 👏
My favorite Disney princess was Cinderella bc of how nice and kind she was and ofc I loved her dress and I always wanted glass slippers lol. And I just admired how pretty she was too me, but I always try to live by her motto, to be kind to people even when they aren’t kind to you bc in the end my kindness will be rewarded just like hers was☺️
Mel’s reaction to everybody coming to eat the gumbo was hilarious to me. People might find it weird to randomly go over to a neighbors house for food, but that’s EXACTLY how it is in the South! You made food? We gon eat it😂 it also brings people together
What the Fenner Brothers meant with "a woman of your background" is that in 1920's (the time period this movie is set in) black people weren't treated very well and racisim towards them was prety much common. Even in the Disney shorts of the 1930's had blackface and racial stereo types, such as in Mickey's Mellerdrammer where Mickey puts on blackface to portray one of the characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and even in Dumbo in The Song of the Roustabouts, you see the workers that put up the tents (whose are black men), parts of the lyrics goes: "We work all day, we work all night. We never learned to read or write.", When other folks have gone to bed. We slave until we're almost dead", "We don't know when we get our pay. And when we do, we throw our pay away". If that's not racial stereotype of black people, then I don't know what is. Even though slavery weren't a thing anymore, thanks to Abraham Lincoln during the 19:th century, most black people back then got low income jobs and therefore poor and only could afford to live in small houses at best, usually in those types of neighborhoods shown in this movie. The few lucky ones that did get a good life where big names such as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Ella Fritzgard, Count Basie and Fats Waller, but still had to be put up with racism until the 1960's when african-american civil rights movements started protesting, leading to a more tolerant society.
You know what... I did notice that everyone has a song in this movie except for Naveen. Naveen just plays guitar for the band. Not saying it's a bad thing, but I didn't notice it until recently.
I love how Charlotte is spoiled rotten, but she is so kind and generous and a great friend.
Yeah that was kind of refreshing to see.

She is "Speedwagon", incarnated; truely helpful.
I believe Evangeline was an actual firefly and Ray's girlfriend, she became a star when she died. That's why Ray ended up in the sky with her.

Ray and Evangeline 's story is so beautiful, yes I teared up when Ray died. I truly enjoyed this movie and I loved how supportive Charlotte was of Tiana's dreams, she offered Tiana the money when her and big daddy were in the restaurant, but Tiana didn't accept her money, she wanted to work for it.just how her father taught her.fyi Tiana was voiced by Anika Noni rose.and yes that is Keith David as doctor facilier, who creepped me out the first time I seen this movie. I have to say this movie was a great adaptation of the frog and the princess story. Great reaction. Miracles and blessings to you and yours ✌️.
Tatiana is my favorite princess strong, independent, beautiful singer, and hard working. Also love the music in this movie.
*Tiana. 😉
And she teaches little girls you don't need some dick head guy in your life BUT true love is hard and rare to find so if you do there's nothing wrong with taking it and holding on to it
I had the same reaction at the start of the credits when I first watched this movie "is that ne-yo????" LOL
"That's like a snack bruh."
Apparently alligators don't digest food like humans do. If they had similar diets, they would become obese extremely quickly.
I did not know that...
Marilyn Monroe’s beauty mark was real. She used to cover it with makeup early in her career.
Even though it was a year ago, no the beauty mark wasn't real. She started putting it on during her peak career.
Ray says "Go to bed, y'all from Shreveport!?" and every person from Ratchet City USA was like "BET!" 😂😂😂 including me
I love how this is like 1920’s or 1930’s New Orleans. I love that time period.
“She’s making gumbo, what’s she 6 years old?” Lololol Cute movie 🍿
New Orleans Creole I have always felt was one of the most beautiful of the north American subcultures. The history, the food, the music… And they were always ahead of the curve as far as social progress. This movie portrays New Orleans from 1912-1920 when Jim Crow laws were still in full effect. Meanwhile, New Orleans challenged segregation and had mixed-race neighborhoods, bands and social clubs.
This led to one of history’s most influential music genres in the birth of Jazz.
Walt Disney started the passed parent troupe because he lost his mother at a very young age, he thought it was important for kids to face stuff like that in a kind, not scary way, and then once he died, they just kept going with the characters losing parents 😂
Very young age? Wasn't he 37?
Tiana has the most realistic initial reaction to the talking frog out of anyone in the world.
Your reaction to this movie had me cracking up! I want a friend like Lottie!!
As a Louisiana native, this soundtrack is 🔥🔥
9:00 - a really cool detail during this bit is the wallpaper behind him within his shadow changes to a skull and crossbones
I love that Mell’s intro looks like he’s bathing in the glory of an undefeated army
So. Apparently there’s a theory that dr faciller is mama oldie’s son, and the snake is his dad he turned into a snake took his fangs and wears them around his neck. 😊 i don’t like frogs either, my cousins kept throwing one on me and I threw it at a wall. Also I did cry when ray died.
that theory makes a load of sense
@@louiseabrams8366 I thought the same as well.
“Tiana’s mom sounds familiar. I know that voice”. It’s literally Oprah. Made me chuckle 😂😊
28:24 There's the key being behind the lock, and then there's smashing the door to get the key so you can unlock the door.
I laughed too hard at “you sure it wasn’t already chipped” Lol
It's even funnier to hear that he has a favorite tooth.
Mama Odie is legit the best character in the movie. She never ceases to make me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The disrespect to Ray is gone make me cry 😭😭
The way Mellow keeps coming after Ray😭he’s my favorite leave him alone 🤧
Yay my favorite disney movie! I love Mama Odie and her song lol
Ray and Evangeline gets me every time. I love his song for her and all the fireflies knew how much he loved her.
I love this movie ❤️ The part where Ray joins Evangeline in the sky always gets me 🥲 and the part when Tiana names her restaurant palace instead of place is intentional 😊
Did anyone else think when Ray became a star it looked like the 2 stars from petter pan!?? Second star to the right stright on till morning
Till this day, this is my favorite Disney soundtrack. Down In New Orleans, Almost There, Friends on the Other Side, When We’re Human, Ma Belle Evangeline, DIG A LITTLE DEEPER- there’s not a single song in this movie that makes me wanna skip, I adore them all!
That little rant in the beginning about friends begging for help after you make it sounded a little personal Mello 😂😂😂😂
Tiana is played by Anika Noni Rose. She is in Dream girls with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. She plays Laurel and she is also in For Colored Girls as well.
I'd have loved to have seen Laurence explain all of this in court.
Side note, he's a completely different from the prince's servant in the original Grimm's brothers version of 'The Frog Prince' (where rather than a kiss from a princess being what can cure him, the cure is this one particular princess herself and she ends up breaking it by picking him up and throwing him, frog hits the wall, prince hits the floor) who after the prince is transformed wears three iron bars around his heart (either literally or around his chest) which all break when his heart breaks of joy when the prince is freed from his curse.
Every time he does his intro I do a air drum roll I can’t help it 😭💀
Lmao yooo all the dad jokes in the beginning were fucking killing me 😂😂😂😂
Lottie is one of my favourite animated characters full stop. She's a little ditzy and spoilt, but neither of these hold her back from being such a good friend to Tiana.
And for anyone wondering why Lottie didn't just give Tia the money for the restaurants straight out, Tiana apparently wanted to earn it herself. Being able to cook the beignets for the event was finally a good reason for Lottie to hand the cash over!
Ray was voiced by Jim Cummings, so i am willing to pet voiced your childhood as much as he did mine. He is such a talented voice actor.
it was called tiana’s place before because she wasn’t a princess. at the end they changed it to tiana’s palace because she’s a princess now :)
This movie got me to try making beignets. So far I’ve had two unsuccessful attempts and just made bite-sized fried dough you’d find at a cheap carnival.
As for favorite Disney princess, had a big crush on Belle as a kid, but also gotta give it to Rapunzel. She’s a fun character and a go-getter.
That had me dying😂💀I can’t stop laughing🤣lol 23:11
"I got messed up by the system, bitch. What do you think happened?"
I don't know why, but the delivery in that made me laugh
I enjoy your reactions particularly because you seem to be having so much fun and getting so much out of it. A lot of these movies don't get the love and respect they deserve so it's really nice to see people spreading the love. You make me laugh a ton too 😁
New Orleans is so much Fun. My Husband and I went the End of October. We never felt unsafe, had an absolute blast, and can't wait to go back. John Goodman (Lottie's dad) has a house in New Orleans we saw it on one of our tours
I hadn't noticed how Naveen looks at Facilier thr first time they meet. What was that "ouh" face 😂?
My favorite princesses are Tiana, Pocahontas, Snow White, Mulan and Jasmine. Tiana and Pocahontas are my top two. I went to Disney and met Tiana and prince Navine. That was my highlight of my trip!
Damn I’m jealous! I did meet Merida from brave though, so that was definitely a highlight for me at Disney World. And Daisy Duck hugged me randomly which was nice.
I remember seeing this when it came out the theatre was packed everyone laughed and a lot of kids loved it
I'm a 41 yr old guy and this is one of my favorite Disney movies, thanks for doing the reaction ✌️❤️
17:30 😂 The laugh to the shock and disbelief, had me laughing. Same, this dude didn't help at all. Half way through the video and I'm already consider subscribing. Also, awesome subscribe edit, like when you zoom out and it looks like watching a video within the video. 👏
They accepted their fate as frogs and fell in love. That is just too cute
My favorite Disney princess was Cinderella bc of how nice and kind she was and ofc I loved her dress and I always wanted glass slippers lol. And I just admired how pretty she was too me, but I always try to live by her motto, to be kind to people even when they aren’t kind to you bc in the end my kindness will be rewarded just like hers was☺️
❤ Super wholesome. Loved watching this video. Great points & great humor!!
Princess and the frog is my favorite Disney movie of all time so iconic ❤️❤️
I've been waiting for this reaction for months. I'm so glad it's finally here! Thanks Mello 😁
Mel’s reaction to everybody coming to eat the gumbo was hilarious to me. People might find it weird to randomly go over to a neighbors house for food, but that’s EXACTLY how it is in the South! You made food? We gon eat it😂 it also brings people together
I love this movie!!! I even named my car Evangeline 😂
Girl 😂
That’s cute
Best Princess is Kida. Everyone forgets her but she's the most badass princess ever.
This is one of my fave recent Disney movies. So much heart, and unique characters. Great reaction!!!🤘
What the Fenner Brothers meant with "a woman of your background" is that in 1920's (the time period this movie is set in) black people weren't treated very well and racisim towards them was prety much common. Even in the Disney shorts of the 1930's had blackface and racial stereo types, such as in Mickey's Mellerdrammer where Mickey puts on blackface to portray one of the characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and even in Dumbo in The Song of the Roustabouts, you see the workers that put up the tents (whose are black men), parts of the lyrics goes: "We work all day, we work all night. We never learned to read or write.", When other folks have gone to bed. We slave until we're almost dead", "We don't know when we get our pay. And when we do, we throw our pay away". If that's not racial stereotype of black people, then I don't know what is.
Even though slavery weren't a thing anymore, thanks to Abraham Lincoln during the 19:th century, most black people back then got low income jobs and therefore poor and only could afford to live in small houses at best, usually in those types of neighborhoods shown in this movie. The few lucky ones that did get a good life where big names such as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Ella Fritzgard, Count Basie and Fats Waller, but still had to be put up with racism until the 1960's when african-american civil rights movements started protesting, leading to a more tolerant society.
As a Louisiana native, La isn’t dangerous how you think lol.
You know what... I did notice that everyone has a song in this movie except for Naveen. Naveen just plays guitar for the band. Not saying it's a bad thing, but I didn't notice it until recently.
6:00 Respect the Hustle!
The Glitter throw is over the top and hilarious
3:15 Take that, _A Troll in Central Park!_
