Which Disney princess becomes a princess after kissing a frog in The Princess and the Frog? The answer is Tiana.
Tiana is the hardworking heroine of Disney’s 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog. She dreams of opening her own restaurant in 1920s New Orleans, but her life changes when she meets Prince Naveen, who has been transformed into a frog by the witch doctor Dr. Facilier. Tiana kisses Naveen hoping to break the spell, but the magic turns her into a frog too.
The familiar fairy-tale pattern is deliberately reversed: Tiana does not become human immediately by kissing the frog. Instead, she and Naveen travel through the Louisiana bayou while searching for Mama Odie, who may be able to help them. Their journey brings them closer, and Tiana learns to balance her ambition with love, friendship, and family.
Tiana becomes a princess when she marries Naveen, prince of Maldonia. Their kiss then restores both of them to human form. She is Disney’s first African American princess and is voiced by Anika Noni Rose.
