**** Also, now he's not sleeping around all over the globe.
*** It's never explained whether or not they actually intended for him to marry a rich girl or not - although Facilier does seem to know ''everything'' about you just by looking at you, so maybe that's right. And anyways...I'm sure they initially thought "...huh?" until they met her and saw that the couple was in love, and that she essentially taught Naveen to grow up, or that Naveen seemed to have made her less of a [[Stop Having Fun Guy]].
*** I have a feeling that Naveen's parents cut him off because he was a spoiled, inept, [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]], like [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Bertie Wooster]]. (I can't be the only one who sees the resemblance?) They probably assumed it was the steady flow of cash that kept him that way, and the best thing they could do for him is let him go off on his own. To learn about the real world and grow up already, and that marrying rich was just ''his'' plan for getting around giving up his "high" lifestyle. But introducing his parents to the new him, and the woman who was responsible for his newfound maturity? They must've been very happy.
*** Tiana might have been working class and poor when they married, but the two of them got up a ''very'' successful restaurant not long after which certainly provided them with a steady living. Naveen's parents were most likely pleased that he just was able to settle down with one girl who was very nice and had common sense and a work ethic rather than him philandering and not doing anything useful. Plus, this troper got the impression that the "get a job or marry a rich girl" thing was what Naveen saw as his only options. His parents probably cut him off and were like "okay, you can't rely on our wealth anymore, go off and make your own way in the world". However he managed that would probably be fine with them.
**** This is pretty much summed up by the scene where Naveen's parents actually appear and see Tiana, where their facial expressions are best summed up as "Oh, thank ''God'' he found a good one". This troper is convinced that the animators have seen that sentiment in real life.
