Movie: The Princess and the Frog (2009)
Trivia: New Orleans celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse – who is famous for his Cajun and Creole cuisine – plays the voice of Marlon, one of the alligators who tries to eat Naveen and Tiana in the swamp. He uses his signature “Bam!” line in some of his character’s sentences. (Marlon is, of course, named after Marlon Brando, star of the New Orleans drama A Streetcar Named Desire (1951).)
Goofs: Continuity: While singing “When We’re Human,” Tiana gets rid of Naveen’s guitar. Moments later, Naveen is shown with his guitar again.
“A modern day retelling of the classic story The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Frog finds the lives of arrogant, carefree Prince Naveen and hardworking waitress Tiana crossing paths. Prince Naveen is transformed into a frog by a conniving voodoo magician and Tiana, following suit, upon kissing the amphibian royalty. With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old blind lady who lives in a boat in a tree, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfill their dreams. Written by The Massie Twins”
