The story centers on Tiana, a 19-year-old waitress in 1920's New Orleans who encounters a talking frog. In reality, the frog is the egotistical Prince Naveen, who was transformed by Dr. Facilier, an evil voodoo doctor. When she agrees to kiss him, the result is that ''she'' becomes a frog too, and from here they embark on a journey across the lush Louisiana swamp to seek out the voodoo priestess Mama Odie, the only one who can help them. Along the way they meet up with Louis, an alligator jazz enthusiast, and a Cajun firefly named Ray, all the while avoiding Facilier's creepy shadow goons.
