Released in 2009, this is [[Disney]]'s 49th animated feature, as well as the first since 2004's ''[[Home on the Range]]'' to be traditionally animated. It's inspired by the novel ''The Frog Princess'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20060104025955/http://www.edbakerbooks.com/ E.D. Baker's] take on the classic fable "[[The Frog Prince]]", and written and directed by Disney staples John Musker and Ron Clements. It is also notable for introducing the first black Disney princess into the official line-up.
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.
