Critics Consensus

The warmth of traditional Disney animation makes this occasionally lightweight fairy-tale update a lively and captivating confection for the holidays.

The Princess and the Frog will certainly be remembered years later as not only a pioneer Disney movie, but also one that allowed audiences to never let go of their dreams and that with love anything is possible, no matter your age or color.

The backgrounds are beautifully drawn. There are sunny days in the French Quarter, spooky nights among live oaks hung with Spanish moss, and a rousing denouement at the Mardi Gras.

Rated: 3.5/5

... lovingly designed, directed at a lively pace without tipping into excess, and filled with toe-tapping musical gumbo of jazz, zydeco, swing, blues and show-tune dynamism by Randy Newman ...

The Princess and the Frog represents a welcome return for Disney and a beacon of cartoon light that the company should aspire to with every new effort.

The narrative is largely dull and the representation ranges from overdue to problematic. While the film still has a charm, specifically in its visuals, the overall viewing experience is more average than anything else.

“The Princess and the Frog” is a soulful swirl of jazz, gumbo, and dreams, set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans. It reimagines the classic fairy tale with a modern heroine—Tiana—whose grit and heart make her one of Disney’s most grounded and inspiring leads. The hand-drawn animation is lush and nostalgic, and the soundtrack pulses with energy and emotion. But what truly sets it apart is its sentimentality: the film doesn’t just chase dreams, it honors the people and memories that shape them. From firefly Ray’s love for Evangeline to Tiana’s bond with her late father, it’s a story that glows with warmth and sincerity. A little magic, a lot of heart—and a reminder that sometimes, the detour is the real journey.

La bande son est particulièrement entrainante et les personnages de Louis et Ray apportent la touche d'humour et de légèreté qui peut me manquer dans certains films Disney.

Probably the best movie I've ever seen. It not only shows the effect that Tiana's hardwork has on others, but we see the betterment on Naveen to become a hardworking person himself from someone who used to "hop from place to place". This overall shows how just Tiana's hard work can lead to people follow her from a lavish lifestyle with no meaning, to a hardworking one that truly has meaning.
