we are getting a Tiana spin-off show, though it still doesn't come out and we know very little about it

[@tiersha5681]

I don’t know if anyone else has commented it. But shout out Lottie. She was a great friend. She sacrificed her “happily ever after”, her dream that she’s been dreaming about as a child, for her best friend in an instant. Despite their clear differences in circumstances, she didn’t treat her any differently. I’ve read people say that she could have easily given Tiana the money for the restaurant but in my mind, I think she knew she would be too proud to take it, so hired her and gave her too much money instead. Standing by and watching your friend get everything they’ve wished for is beautiful

[@bluewolf6323]

It's honestly weird when people watch the whole movie and ask, "Why didn't Lottie just give the money away?" Or "Why doesn't Tiana just ask for the money?" It's like they didn't hear Tiana's Almost There song where she says,"Taking the Easy Way. " she doesn't want easy. She wants hard work. Lottie probably did give her money and handouts, but Tiana rejected it, and Lottie respected it. Lottie is an underrated Disney friend, honestly. I love her!!

[@simonsonian8977]

Also, that blue dress was in no way Lottie's style or size. I guarantee she had that thing prepared for Tiana, just in case. She may be way too much at all times, but she was a good friend. Oh, and given the time period, being openly and publicly friends with Tiana probably destroyed her social life, but she sticks by her.

[@ThePixarDude]

Even when Tiana fell on the table and made a total mess, Charlotte was more concerned about her. Didn't blame her, didn't yell at her for messing up.

[@jazzycat8917]

@@bluewolf6323 Exactly, which is why Lottie ordered all those beignets. Tiana would never accept charity, so she put in a legitimate business order to help in a way that respected Tia's principles and work ethic.

Because Naveen is actually a prince, him and Tiana getting married, even if they were frogs, technically made her a princess. So when they kissed, he was kissed by a princess, which turned them back to humans.

[@ChimeratAlpha]

Exactly. They couldn't have "saved Ray" because they hadn't gotten married at that point.

[@StoryMing]

Yes, Lottie is definitely “extra”; but for a spoiled rich girl, I am impressed by how good a friend she is. She sees Tiana tumbled and disheveled at the party, she doesn’t even think of the overturned beignets, or bat an eye at taking time out from pursuing the Prince to get Tiana a new costume, no hint of jealousy in her admiration at how lovely she is in the gown. And at the end, she is fully willing to kiss the frog for her friend, with nothing in it for herself (and genuinely sorry when it doesn’t work). No, no, no. I love Ray too, but what happened is *_not_* in any way Mama Odie‘s fault. Tiana had to be married to a prince to be a princess. The kiss would not work until *_after_* they were wed. And they had to make that decision on their own; to do it because it would make them human again would be for the wrong reasons. So unfortunately, Ray’s death COULD NOT have been avoided by Mama Odie speaking up sooner. She already gave them a HUGE hint in admonishing them to learn the difference between _want_ and _need;_ the rest they had to figure out for themselves. (- there are no shortcuts to the understanding that comes through time and experience.)

[@Zvromi]

This movie was so cute and light hearted I loved it I wish Disney movies were still like this 😭

[@karofauske]

I think Lottie has offered to buy the restaurant for Tiana before but Tiana refused cause she wants to work for it herself. So Lottie jumps at the first oppertunity to support her friend by asking her to bake those treats and pay her double or triple the normal price. What a good friend.

[@arcadianmystery]

[@jaymeetsworld1]

[@nicanproud]

That hey everybody. I made GUM-BO. It forever changed me lol

[@brigittegill808]

I will always ADORE how good of a friend Lottie was to Tiana. I always feel we dont see enough true girl friendships in Disney Princess movies. Sure, the prince usually has a confidant or two and so do side characters, but the princess either only has her family or an animal sidekick, or is all alone. I was so happy to finally see a true, non-toxic, female friendship and Lottie deserves her own movie because she was so amazing to Tiana, giving up her life long dream without batting an eye and never seeing Tiana as lesser for their differences in social standing/the racial divides of the 1920's.

[@nope19568]

id love to see a short film of her day to day shenanigans

[@lunarrobot9714]

23:20 The way I looked at this scene moreso is that his parents kinda failed him. Unintentionally. Yes, he grew up privileged and he's spoiled and immature. But that's because his parents raised him that way. Then they suddenly cut him off as soon as he becomes an adult and just kind of expected him to learn how to be a responsible without teaching him how? It's the equivalent of your kid not knowing how to swim, so you toss them head-first into the deep end of a pool and just cross your fingers hoping they don't drown. When I looked at it that way, his situation is a lot more sad than it comes off. His family basically just gave up on him one day and he has to learn how to be a functioning member of society from scratch.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

It does come off sad actually. That's a traumatic experience.

[@sellerroyall1690]

@lunarrobot9714 yeah like did he even have a place to stay? If it weren't for ottie dad offering him a place to stay in hopes he marries her daughter I can't imagine where'd he would've slept or gotten his food from Man was fresh from the oven with no knowledge or experience of the outside world

[@julia2802]

Really glad you finally got to watch this gem!!! now a few fun facts: 1. Ray becomes the star that leads to the Neverland (from the Peter Pan movie) and Thinker Bell's world 2. In the Lion King Timon tells Simba that the stars are actually fireflies that fly too high and get stuck in the sky

[@ashlieberihuete8733]

Then Pumba broke it up with actual facts about the stars being great masses of hot gas shining in the galaxy, with Timon calls him off by telling Pumba that he thinks everything is made out of gas.

[@MrSophire]

Funny that in a way all three were right

[@mirrorforce8025]

They had to marry first before the kiss would work. Cause by marrying Naveen, a prince, she becomes a Princess. So Ray would have died regardless.

[@WJC981]

I think Tiana was the first Disney princess to speak with a Southern accent. Usually they either speak with a General American, British or Transatlantic accent.

[@Kenny-bu4uv]

Auroras voice actress was southern as well , even though they made her talk with a somewhat Transatlantic accent, you can actually hear Auroras southern draw too , especially when she’s in the forest with the animals.

[@dollkayla]

this movie is my childhood, the one true princess who worked for everything she had! Absolute queen!!

[@naimahal-azeez1728]

They're frogs because they didn't use the original Grimm fairytale. The version they used is The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker, published in 2002 (I used to have this book as a kid before I gave it away). In this story, a Caucasian princess ran away from her kingdom to avoid an arranged marriage. She meets a frog in the woods, who asks for a kiss to turn him back into a prince. She kisses the frog, but instead of him turning back into a prince, she ends up turning into a frog. They spend almost the entire book as frogs as they go on this adventure to break the spell. Disney didn't want to do the Grim version because it's too predictable and they've done this kind of story too many times. Plus, it turned out to be a good thing that they didn't use these versions. The princess in The Frog Prince was a spoiled brat who treated everyone around her like crap. The frog becomes a prince not because she kissed him but because she threw him up against the wall because, for the spell to be broken, the prince had to get the princess to be angry with him, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever (had they done this version, we'd get the "Angry Black Woman" trope). The Grim's version of The Frog Princess is too dated. In that tale, three princes had to shoot an arrow. If the arrow lands in front of a woman, that's who they're going to marry. The youngest prince's arrow lands in front of a frog and together they have to perform three tasks for the King before he chooses who will succeed him. In the end, the youngest son was declared the winner. He kissed the frog and she turned into a princess, another predictable storyline. (One that would give young girls the message that men have the right to marry who they want while women don't, a message they're trying to get away from) When they came across the ED Baker version, Disney was excited about it because they finally found a way to tell the story, so even though it would still be predictable, it would at least feel fresh for the young audiences who haven't read the Baker book, along with gaining fans who have.

[@waRr3nxx]

My wife and I watched Wish the other day. The first thing I noticed was how off the animation looked, then finished the movie. It was terrible.

[@freemovies411]

No, I don't think we should all feel sad for people that grew up privelaged to not HAVE to do things. But there's something to be said about parents that shelter their kids, that don't teach them things outside of what's expected of them, and to suddenly then throw them into the real world with no grasp on how to do that stuff. At the beginning of the movie, Naveen is blissfully ignorant at his financial situation - at least that's what we see. But by this point, we find out how much it bothered him. It's not fun to just dump that out on people - namely the girls he's only trying to flirt with - but yeah. ouo I don't know, I like the slightly deeper male protagonists we get out of modern animated movies.

[@teresar6348]

I feel bad if Naveen wasn't given the exposure. It's kinda hard to know what it is you don't know otherwise. Plus while he is an adult, he was only 20, and being royalty thing doesn't exactly tend towards the whole 'moving out thing' even if you want to.

[@aura.euphoria]

FWI Mama Odie wasn't lying she actually told the truth the whole time. She said he had to kiss a *princess* meaning that the moment Tiana and Naveen got married she would become a princess. The kiss wouldn't have worked earlier on. They had to have married for it to work

[@teresar6348]

Also this requires em to love eachother, as frogs, first. No guarantees there as opposed to bribing a pre existing princess. No flak on them/lottie though, they were all at least honest about their intentions.
