Tiana, The Princess and the Frog
Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose) is a 19-year-old, hard-working girl who is very ambitious and goal-oriented. She wants to open her own restaurant. But her ambition and work ethic cause her to forget about caring for family and having some fun.
She kisses a frog prince and turns into a frog herself. And they must find a way to become human again before it’s too late.
In the process of trying to turn human again, she and Prince Naveen fall in love. But they don’t stop the spell in time for them to turn human again. They decide to live together as frogs and get married. When they do, her status as a princess helps change them back into humans. They open a restaurant together.
It’s a love story, but it’s also a story about a girl who, yes, falls in love and achieves her goals as well.
