Down in New Orleans there was a wise, kind, family man with a big heart, and he was the father of Princess Tiana. But even though I, and I’m sure many of you, completely connected with who Tiana’s father was and his words, by the time Tiana was an adult, he was already gone. But I won’t let this amazing father disappear without an explanation which is why I am explaining my thoughts on what happened to Tiana’s father.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

Tiana's father was such an amazing person. Do you think he's a hero? Let me know what you think below!
Definitely, he was such a hard working and passionate person!
Do Dipper and Mabel Pine's full Story.
I want to know who did Charlotte married after her best friend too young to get married
Please do Vanellope from wreck it Ralph again :D
Yes
Tianas father was my favorite adult Disney character 🤗
He is definitely up there for me!
he's my favorite disney parent by FAR...but lowkey that leaves, what only, 2 parents left?
Me too an watching this movie always made me want to be an do better on life an everything
Same! He taught her to work hard❤️
@@oliviam1951 and to never stop dreaming despite the circumstances!
I wish tiana's place was real at Disney parks
TH-camUser omg yasssss
TH-camUser It is at Disney springs in Florida
That's a great idea!!
best comment I’ve seen on TH-cam ever
Yaaas
Me 2
This is the first disney movie where a father of a princess dies and the mother stays alive
Cinderella???
@@emmyisawesome27 mother not step-mother
The little Mermaid?
april larios Ariel’s mother was dead
@@abrillarios7175 her father was alive
The medal he got was the Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest award in the US military. It is awarded "for extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force." My guess is that this was awarded posthumously in World War I. What's impressive is that an African American soldier was given this award.
Love this comment! I hadn't even considered race when it came to the war medal but that's so true.
Sooo cool
That was the first thing that crossed my mind. Thank you for pointing that out! Given the time period, I think it speaks even more for his heroic and kind actions he performed during the war, to be acknowledged even in spite of that
@ThiefRikku0306 oh for sure, I know about all that stuff but I wasn't thinking about all of that while watching a Disney princess movie. I appreciate the comment putting real life perspective into the cartoon
Tianas father may have sacrificed himself to save his comrades in battle. That would be in his nature and would definitely be worthy of the distinguished service award
I really love that Disney acknowledged the War.
They kinda did on Peter Pan return to neverland
Your comment makes my spirit soar. They covered a lot of powerful ground with this movie, and I just love the progress it made.
@@jilliandaviduk2213 I'm glad to hear. Thank you
@@jilliandaviduk2213 And that's why I love this movie
Fun facts: Disney once was at war but as a volunteer medical staff.
Tiana's father is one of my favorite parents in Disney Princess movies. Not only was he kind and loving, but like Belle's father, he was actively encouraging her to peruse her dream and do whatever she wanted in order to be happy without question.
Yeah and considering back in their time periods ewuality was always a much bigger issue so the fact that they were like that was really nice
Tiana and Bella Are my only favorite Princesses
At the end of the film, I'll bet Tiana's father is looking down from Heaven, feeling proud of her. ; )
That's for sure!!!
@@christianmoralesortiz4688 Thank you and these other people for giving me these likes! Let me like your comment. ; )
@@robloxking2578 thanks bud, and your welcome my friend, you make great comments!!!
With Ray & Evangeline
@@nyla559 Oh yes, of course.
They should of made Tiana's restaurant in Disney world with new Orleans food
Disney needs to make this
Theres a real lady inspired by this so that wouldnt make sense loo
Well maybe they can add that along with the newly refurbished Splash Mountain ride.
@@helenakoerner5536 your right hopefully
@@princesskitkat7061 her name Is Ms Leah chase shes the besst down here in new Orleans
As a child, I was always figured he died in war especially with the picture and medal. And now, I truly do believe Tiana’s father died as a war hero.
I wish that James had been able to meet Naveen, I think they would have really enjoyed each other's company, and Naveen would've learned a lot from James. An excellent role model for all dads, he's definitely my favorite Disney background character!
I wanted to know how Eudora and the king & queen of Maldonia(king Samarth and Queen Agneta) get along
1st African American princess 👑🐸🥄
Kelli Mason and last one lol
@@courtneymoore220hk Nope. Moana
Nana Is the BEST Moana is definitely Hawaiian or something along that line...not black/ African American is the point...not the same
Nana Is the BEST Moana is not African-American she is Pacific islander I think they’re called like native Hawaiian different cultural background
To bad black boys don't got a African American Prince to look up too
I always thought he worked himself to death trying to make his dream happen. Didn't think twice about the picture of him in military uniform and his metal. Good job Wotso
Same I thought he worked himself to death but sadly he died in war what an absolute hero
I love how Tiana's father was portrayed. He went against the stereotype of the black man leaving his family, he worked so hard and you could tell he loved his family
He most likely died in WW1 . The movie's main events are confirmed to have been set in 1926. Since Tiana was 19 during the main plot and appeared to be around 5 in the beginning, the movie would have started around 1912. Since WW1 went from 1914-1918, that means Tiana was only a child or a preteen when her dad passed away. So sad...
Edit: In "The Little Mermaid", when Grimsby is bringing Eric back to the castle, Eric says something about the princess of Glowerhaven, who was most likely another girl Grimsby had tried to set him up with in the past. Can you please do a video on that?? I know a lot of people have been requesting it recently.
Another edit (lol): Thanks for making this video. I am a Louisiana native (Baton Rouge, specifically) so this movie has meant a lot to me ever since I saw it in theaters for the first time. I'm a huge fan of your videos and I can't wait to see more from you in the future!
According to a comic, she was invited to a ball held by Eric but she was so tall she dragged him around the dance floor
@@breezythaprof well my dad was a history major in college and my mom was a middle school teacher (her last year of teaching was when she was pregnant with me) so yeah being a nerd is in my DNA
@@grace5033 gotta love the nerds ^^
How about a video about Louis and how he got his trumpet?
SuperSDal great idea
Prolly stole it.
@@LA-sh9jh yeah he must of gotten it when a river boat passed and he went close to it to hear the music and the guy with a trumpet saw him panicked and threw his trumpet at the gator
He simply took it
SuperSDal Louis is based on Louis Armstrong the popular jazz player in the 1920s that’s why he got a trumpet because Louis Armstrong has a trumpet because that’s what he is known for playing the trumpet and being a famous jazz player back then
This is a great theory! His uniform in the photograph is undoubtedly a WW I combat uniform. There were African American units who served as laborers in the war as early as 1917. Since James was a laborer, he could have arrived at this time. He could have also arrived in early 1918 as part of the the 369th United States Infantry, a regiment of African-American combat troops who helped the French Army. I think they fought in the trenches for almost 200 days. The regiment also saw few casualties, so it would be entirely plausible for James to have given his life to save the lives of his fellow soldiers. So amazing!
Harlem hellfighters were badass
This was the last 2-D animation done by Disney after this movie they just did 3-D animation!I guess I can’t complain I mean thanks to 3-D animation we got tangled,Wreck it Ralph,Frozen,Big Hero 6,Zootopia and Moana!But I still miss The good old days when Disney Did hand-drawn animation.
Michael Brent Not quite the last, Winnie the Pooh was.
Something about that old animation hits different
Same here.
@@ruthbasta3089 Agreed, that's true.
Don’t forget Home on the Range. Or something like that
It's really important to place Tiana's story in context. New Orleans was STILL apart of the segregated South. That's really important to remember. The military reflected this as well. Through out history from Buffalo Soldiers to freedom fighters to the Tuskegee Airman, the first all black pilot squadron. Historically, Americans were called to fight in conflicts but African Americans or Black Americans were not acknowledged for their contribution. The likelihood that her father received the Distinguished Cross would not have come so soon. It might have come years later, in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement.
Well, maybe not in the 60s most of the US fought to keep segregation a thing. Some branches desegregated in the 1980s while some schools are still segregated today but mostly with the districting sending minority students to one underfunded school while they send white kids to a well funded one
Playing Devils advocate here, but since Tiana’s family was so close to the Le Beoufs, maybe Big Daddy played a part in getting James honored posthumously since he knows politicians and whatnot.
Ahmasi Can you explain clearnly please.
@@sewthernbelle.. Possibly. He may have used his money and connections (even possibly funding progressive politicians running their campaigns) to give Tiana's father the recognition. Even (I think!) reaching out to the French (as the Harlem Hellfighters fought with the French Army) to ensure his deeds won't be erased
Whats interesting is that dr. Facilier knew him, but that might just be "The cards"
I have a conspiracy that they’re the same person
@@yourboyphoenix3217 I wanna hear that one !! Explain please :)
Ok so basically just as it was tianas father died but traded his soul to the Loa so he could stay alive and the dark magic changed him so that is why he knows so much about tianas life and has a respect for hard working people suggesting he is one too but of course Faciler can read people’s lives but I think it’s a pretty dark and interesting theory
@@yourboyphoenix3217 woah ... i acc never thought about that , when you put it like that ... Dr Facilier is a bad guy but not rlly a bad guy :/
Well I still think he is a pretty bad villain but his ending was the most terrifying when you think about it it appears he was either dragged to hell or dragged down to be a slave for the loa
Tiana sure did a good job remembering what her dad taught her, to never lose sight of what was really important
Tiana’s father is the perfect image of a great man. Loving husband caring father and hardworking hero
I have an theory is tiana father the voodooman
Best ending music in a Disney
movie ever ! By Ne-Yo of course.
I love every minute of it I use to have a Ne-yo cd when I was a child
I wasnt familiar w/ us celebs so when I heard this I remember trying hard to find out who sang it. He's definitely amazing!
I remember when I was younger that I wanted that song to be played at my wedding
Ikr? I was obsessed with it.
I’ve seen the movie millions of times, and I have always loved the ending when that song comes on ♥️
This movie makes me hungry🙊
You dont have to point it out like that, it was a joke Annika. Just say so funny and move on.
@Annika Carrillo lol
This comment string makes me uncomfortable
@Annika Carrillo calm down no need to be racist :/
@Annika Carrillo what do you mean?
If he had died in the war it likely would’ve included a Purple Heart. The Purple Heart medal is awarded to anyone injured while in combat for the military, and that includes soldiers that are mortally wounded and die. But I guess they could’ve just kept the more prestigious medal in plain view and left the Purple Heart aside. It takes a special kind of man just too serve in the military at all but some soldiers can get over a dozen Purple Hearts without ever getting mortally wounded or earning any more prestigious medal.
For a black man to get a medal that prestigious in that time period though he would have had to have done something absolutely outstanding so the chance he earned that much notice for something he survived seems unlikely so maybe you’re right.
Great Theory Isaac I think he died in world war 1
I agree
Same here
Best dad in the whole Disney franchise.
Even though he died, I'd imagine he smiled down at his daughter, very proud of her
One of the only Disney princesses that wasn’t overly driven by love or some supernatural force but was driven by her strive to find a secure job and life that she had always dreamt of
I thought he worked himself to death.
Edit: idk why i didn't notice this
Timothy Morgan your thinking of that Disney shirt film
*short
@@jasjanai ill watch a shirt short film!
@@hsuperyou9780 bahah
Tianas father is so inspirational. I love how her father was a motivational force to her pursuing her dreams
It’s so interesting how other Disney princesses have troubled relationships with their parents but our black Disney princess Tiana 👸🏽 had a really loving and positive relationship with her parents
Don't forget that he may have done something worthy of a Medal of Honor. The didn't give the highest honors to Black soldiers. Dorrie Miller only got a silver star in his lifetime. The Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously.
Whoa...I never noticed the metal...that's such a beautiful little addition to his character and even with the very limited screen time shows what a great person he was. I love that, thank you so much for pointing that out
Maybe he’s with his friends on the other side
Nice
Yea maybe you are right
cmon is this srsly the same person
Cool
R/woosh
This has always been my favorite movie!I have always loved it because for one it is a black princess and for two and do dedicated and determined for her dreams.Shes the first Disney Princess that I have loved to the point that I got my whole room themed as her when I was little,my bed,dresser,comforter,night stand and many more were based off this beautiful movie! ✊🏾 Respect!
This was- no IS my favorite Disney movie, and I'm sad Tina's father met his demise early, but I agree with Issac about the medal, I never paid much attention to it but knew that her dad must have been a soldier because of it.
This was so sad, I cried just thinking about all the lives lost in the war
Darling you hit the nail on the head with this one. And for this video I thank you. Most people, are unaware that certain characters are removed from stories because of events like this so I am truly humbled you chose to write specifically about James and how he inspired his family to continue onward even after the war. Some were even unaware of how deeply war is played upon especially in Disney movies. So again thank you for this video. It reminds me that though they are meant to be 'child family' friendly that Disney put hints like that in their films to show how real they truly are. Keep up the good work wotso
I really want to know who did Charlotte Tiana's best friend married I really want to know
She may be spoiled and ditzy, but she's not mean. Tiana was her best friend and was willing to help her when she needed it. I'd like her to find a good guy too.
cassyluv Sanchez that girl was spoiled and kind of airy, but she was very nice to Tiana and I liked her character 🍵
Her story with her father definatly hits me hard, as my daddy recently passed away a month before my 16th birthday. My dad was my best friend and he definatly made such an impact in mine, and lots of others lives. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with others
when he said "what happened was war." i got goosebumps woa
Another question.. how did Louis learn how to play the trumpet so well🤔🤔🤔
Unique Username hes a crocodile.....
@angie
I don’t think crocodiles are native to North America
I like that Facilier seemed to be sympathetic towards Tianas father.
Really? When and how did he show it?
@@aur9035 I'm guessing Facilier was poor himself and had to at one point work hard pretty to get where he is now, before he got into voodoo dealings. James himself was a hardworking man who had to so much for his family and Facilier most probably respects that, though the difference is that instead of being bitter and resentful of it, James was content to endure it if it made his family happy and showerd no hard feelings to anyone else who had a easier life than him.
If that makes sense.
@@rebajoethey say Dr. Facilier and James were brothers 🤷🏾♀️
this was a very good video!
maybe do big daddy (charlottes dad) or naveens parents?
he was a rich man but was kind etc to tiana
where's his wife etc
naveens parents spoiled him and realized the error in their ways.
Roxanne Draper, I believe it stated that she died in childbirth.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO AND EXPLAINATION....I LOVE THE WAY YOU BROKE DOWN THIS SMALL DETAIL OF THE MOVIE, EMPHASIZED ON IT, AND BROUGHT IT TO LIGHT
I love how James always tried to be happy for his daughter and helped her realize the value of hard work
I wish they had shown his battle and what happened. Lion king, Bambi...Even Tarzan showed the demise of the parent and it bonded us closer with them and the main character. I think that kids could have handled a heartfelt moving score and scene highlighting the father maybe holding a photo of the family close to himself before charging off to battle or something.
He a war boi...respect
*Respecc
SOOBIN AND I HAVE THE SAME BDAY no respect
Thank you for acknowledging the role of James in The Princess and the Frog! James reminds me a lot of my own father and I love how he was represented in this movie. I also appreciate that you research the history of the movie because it adds depth to your theories. Keep up the great work Isaac! You got yourself a new fan!
I think it’s even more heartbreaking knowing that during this period, African-Americans were even struggling to receive benefits they were owed by the government for serving or losing a family member in the war on top of existing prejudices.
As a black girl it’s honestly awesome that they bought this princess and there wasn’t much diversity in the princess system so when she came along it’s very big for us black people honestly this show was amazing💗
I always assumed that he died as a soldier, but I never considered the possibility of him coming home and dying from a disease. Most history buffs know that after World War I we had the influenza pandemic. It killed millions of people, and Tianas‘s dad could have been one.
Absolutely..He was a hero.
Every time they transition from her as a toddler to her as an adult, I cry every time
When I saw that picture in Tiana’s room I knew right there and then that he was a soldier who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect his country. He was awarded posthumously and he earned it with honor.
Aleluja!! Im waiting for this for sooo long
So glad I could finally bring this to you then!
I freakin love this movie so much! 😍 Tiana is one of my fave Disney princesses
fun fact the card that facilier pulls (Three of pentacles,upright) means Teamwork, collaboration, learning, implementation
When I first watched the movie I already figured out that he died in war just by looking at the photo she kissed of him. Though I didn't really know if they gave medals like that to black men in that time period.
I agree he died overseas and it was given after his death. I think his only regret isn't the restaurant its he never saw Tiana fall in love. I think he wanted her to fall in love more then he wanted the restaurant. He had all he needed in life. His family. I think that's all he really wanted was Tiana to find the same thing. The restaurant was second.
I think when he died and went to heaven that's the only thing he regretted was he never saw his true dream come true was his little girl getting what he had all his life and what she really needed in her life.
I’m over here thinking about another topic for you to do, since you did em all 😂😂
I really really really really really really really want to know what happened after Tiana had her happily ever after
This was the best father figure Disney ever created! Besides Mufasa.
I am CRYING. :'( I love these characters so much...Tiana is probably my favourite princess 💚
new orlEEEENs im srry im from nola and....we say ut like “new orlins”
Lol true I'm from br but now I live in Nc and everybody be like new orleeeeeeans
My Mom’s from Nola and we say new orlins👏🏽
I'm from BR and we say "orlins" here but there was this one guy at school who said "orleens" and it PISSED ME OFF!!!!
Totally trying not to cry while watching this video. A good man who had a hard life, he lives on in his daughter and wife and any descendants he would have
I like how he says "please consider subscribing" instead of "go down right now and subscribe"
This is amazing!!! I never noticed her father went to war and I never really paid that photo any mind so I definitely didn't notice the medal! I honestly just assumed that he died of an heart attack or something like that.
Jassiepoohbear rewatch the movie
@@tamesechristian6020I mean I've seen the movie several times and enjoyed it each time, I just didn't notice those small details about her father
Not only is Tiana the first African American princess. She's also the first to have her father die.
All the other princesses had mothers die.
My bad forgot to mention Cinderella. She's the first to loose both her parents.
@Blessing Studios I forgot about her. She lost both her parents. I just realized.
He passed away in WW1, I wish he was still alive when Tiana was older, but he technically already was alive... inside his daughter.
He always reminds me of my grandfather, he had been in the army and almost participated in WW2 But was able to get out because of my aunts birth. But he is a very nice, polite, and compassionate man. Maybe a little too kind sometimes, but I have always looked up to him.
I have a question how does rapunzel understand Pascal in tangled
Peter Wall I never thought of that I hope he sees it so he makes a video
Hm, my grandma said that he just worked himself to death but I don't think she noticed any of the war details that you just gave.
This movie is my favorite.... the message is something I try to give my kids
The Princess and the Frog was one of the first Disney movies I watched and I love it!
I like how he's excited telling his story. He seems like the best most heroic Disney Male figure period! Most Disney males start out bad and turn good after examples beauty and the beast tangled Pocahontas and so on
Can you do one on Bambi's parents that would be a good idea btw I sub you bro
Not only did he serve, but he also looks like he may have been an E-5 field Sergeant. He wasn't just a private or someone who just enlisted; he worked his way to that position. (Privates are usually E1-3.)
my favorite princess. Not only was she the first princess that looked like me , she was so hardworking and inspiring .
They got a telegram that said he died in combat they probably would have mentioned something about him coming back home
Who else *REALLY* wanted to eat Tiana’s gumbo?
I always thought he died in a war or something to do with him being the Military
Now let’s talk about that sequel we are yet to get.
She my fav💞
Tiana is awesome!
My favorite princess 👑 but I definitely agree with you.
You honestly make the best backstory videos!😍👏👍
You certainly have a knack for making me appreciate characters who were either never in the story or no longer a part of it. Tiana's father reminds me a lot of my grandfather who was in the army and a great man, til cancer took him
Omg you have so many subs! It’s Mason from your Junior Achievement class
This is a question I needed answers to
Perfect timing. I just rewatched this last night!
I'm guessing that because he was a soldier in WWI, he might have been one of the unfortunate soldiers who died from The Spanish Flu-They were the first Americans to get the Flu in locations like Kansas
ive always wondered what happened thx
R.I.P - Tiana's Father
Wonderful video! Princess and the frog is one of my favorites! It puts more emphasis on the importance of love over worldly gain. Tiana is a wonderful role model, as is James!❤️
I like how there are so many direct quotes in this from the movie
He is a hero
Who else always thought those powdered sugar muffins looked SOOO delicious! 😫🤤
Barely Me Beignets (as they are called) ARE delicious. If your ever in NOLA, you must try them!
Dude this movie is so underrated it’s so incredible and detailed
I watched the movie thousand times since she's my fave Disney Princess but I didn't know that Tiana's parent's names are James and Eudora
