The Princess and the Frog left me in shambles ... OVER A BUG! | MOVIE REACTION / COMMENTARY 

should I watch the live action little mermaid next ????

heavily agree on them needing a second one where they’re humans because they’re easily one of the most attractive disney couples and we were robbed!

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

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.

I don't know if you caught it, but on her father's Army portrait is the Distinguished Service Cross. Which, at the time, was the highest honor a black soldier could achieve.

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.)

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.

The mom's a seamstress!! Also that scene where they eat with the neighbors altered my brain chemistry, heartwarming ❤

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.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1400">23:20</a> 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.

The "frogs" gimme heebie jeebies at the beginning took me out😭

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.

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

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.

“I actually loved that they named her Tiana I feel like they could’ve easily named her like, Ashley or something.” Me, a young black woman in Louisiana named Ashley 😂 I understand what you mean though!

The number of times I have seen this movie is not healthy lol. I was obsessed when it first came out.

Fun fact: The voice of Ray is Jim Cummings who also voices Winnie the Pooh

“So she almost there then turn into a frog? I’d be mad” ☠️ 🤣gurrrrl I’m ded

Yea i was an adult already when this dropped but i remember i was visiting someone and they had it on for the kids and i actually started getting invested lol, its a good movie rip Ray

I remembered the hype around this movie when it first came out! My grandma took my little sister and her best friend to see it on the day it came out and they wore the cutest princess dresses 😂😂😂 I also think this movie is amazing too and I’m glad that it is in the traditional 2d animation

To the people who want a sequel to see more of Tiana and Naveen as humans well I have good news for you. There’s a confirmed animated sequel series titled Tiana. And if it’s anything like Tangled the Series then we’re in for a goated story with amazing music.

About Mama Odie and the snake, I have a theory that she accidentally turned her husband into a snake and either hasn’t noticed (she’s blind and older) or she just don’t care and still loves him like he hasn’t changed.

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

"Lotte is a good unhinged friend." RIGHT?! it would have been so easy to just make her awful and I love that they didn't.

Watching this again, this feels like a better animation celebration than Wish. If they swapped Wish with THIS it would've been a spectacular 100 years

There's a TV show called "Tiana" that's gonna be a sequel to this movie coming to Disney+ this year! You should totally check it out when it comes!

This inspired me to open up a coffee shop one day, I like to think "I'm almost there" .... such a great and motivating song! 😊 I need a Live Action version!

Ray is a warrior who went down fighting the literal forces of Darkness. Not since the Prince fought the Dragon, the most epic of heroes.

I remember watching this in theaters when I was a teen, it’s good to see you react to it. I love Lottie, she was super over the top but she was still a good friend to Tiana, which is rare in Disney (or any tbh) movie.

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.

I REALLY want Coco Jones to take the Tiana role!

Tiana wasn't a princess yet before Ray's death. When they got married only then did she technically became a princess.

anika's voice is so beautiful, speaking and singing !!

I love this movie!! Tina was one of my favorite Disney princesses and always will be! Right next to Bell from beauty and the beast. We need another movie, I swear!!

This is my favorite Disney movie and princess, love Tiana and honestly I simped for Naveen 😂 Edit: btw Lottie is an amazing character, her and Tia are goals

Jay: “Frogs are scary!” Me: *looks over and sees one of my frogs is trying to eat a leaf* 😂

My grandsons first movie, he was 18 months old...I'm from Louisiana, so I loved the music, the settings ..we were blubbering before the end...special in my heart

Friends on the Other Side is THE BEST Disney villain song and no one can convince me otherwise. Keith David was literally perfect for this roll, his voice is incredible!

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.

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

I love when her mom is like how long are we talkin “I want some grandkids” 😂

it's random but i love that Tiana and Charlotte have nicknames for each other (Tia and Lottie)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2003">33:23</a> 🥺🥺🥺 this is so emotional and beautiful

If someone stopped me from renting a place I just cleaned, I would charge him a cleaning fee.

One of the best animated films ever made. Incredible hand drawn animation

I remember seeing this in theatres and had so much fun the audience loved the movie as well.

you are right though Ray's death really was avoidable

this was exactly what i needed to overcome the stress from this past week. thank you jay for making my day a little better and brighter

You're reactions really hitting at every beat, but I appreciated how much you appreciated the voice work - like Tiana's singing voice really did take us there and back! So many criticism of Disney, but they often know how to kiss - this movie taking the beignet! P.S. This really makes me nostalgic for New Orleans - Signed, a former 11 year resident.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="244">4:04</a> this is such a heartwarming movie. She just wanted to open a restaurant like her father wanted 🥺

This movie has one of the best soundtracks of all time. ✨RIP Raymond✨ 😔

1. Mulan 2. Atlantis 3. Princess and the Frog. These are the best Disney films and have the best leading ladies/fine AF leading man and songs

When Ray died I cried as a kid when i saw this in theaters. I couldnt believe they killed Ray. Like yes, he got to be with his Evangeline but WHY DID HE HAVE TO BE KILLED 😭😭😭😭

Every video seriously makes my day !! The Princess and The Frog is such a staple in my childhood and I’m so happy to see you watch this !! 😭💗 Lots of love coming from SC

you are so foul for that gina clip! 😂😂

I can’t be the only one who thinks anika would eat for the live action movie like come on. And now that you’ve said it, I definitely can see Dove Cameron as Charlotte.😂

How quickly she turned on Mama Odie because of Ray's death is crazy

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="706">11:46</a> funny you should say that, I saw somewhere that her dress was based on the dress from the 1997 Cinderella film starring Brandy

The only reason they turned human is cause Tiana became a princess not because they kissed again, but I agree that they were frogs through the whole movie was sad

Originally this movie was going to be named The Frog Princess Tiana was originally named Maddy and her job was working for a rich white dude This caused some backlash to Disneys old bias so they did a lot of rewrite

The way I just gasped, Ray is literally the second start to the right. (Peter Pan) Disney, y’all think y’all slick lol. 😆

I remember going to see this as a kid with my aunt, while my sister went to go see some Tyler Perry movie with our cousin. Friends on the Otherside was an instant classic 👌

the Gina clip 😭

Loved the reaction!! So refreshing to rewatch with your commentary Can’t wait for the next reaction 😄

Moist Mama reacting to Princess and the Frog, yeah this year keeps getting better . Our favourite black RU-vid Queen reacts to our fav black Disney princess . Love a black woman from infinity to infinity ( #RipRay)

so excited to see your reaction!! 🥰 you always make me laugh and i sure need one on this ugly monday.

First, you better ease up on my girl Lottie. She's the best Disney bff to exist. Secondly, Tiana wasn't a princess until she and Naveen got married so, no. There's not any way, in the logic of the movie, that they could've turned human before.

Listen Jay, Ray trinidad. But it took me a long time to realize that she said he needed to kiss a princess, so once she married them then she was a princess and then he kissed a princess. It took me a long time to realize that they had to be married in order for her to be a princess.

Keith David can enchant me ANYTIME!

New to the channel, but I can tell im gonna love seeing more of your stuff. Have a good day ❤

And now that Mickey the Mouse owns Fox, we can claim Anastasia as Disney! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lottie accent always reminded me of blanche from golden girls (didn't get to the part where you said that haha) and I always thought keke palmer would be perfect for Tiana

I have watched this movie so many times and I still cry every single time at rays death scene

Almost there is just soo iconic!!

LMAOOOO the cut-off screams r killing me <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="741">12:21</a>

this movie 😭💖

Lottie’s that grade-A friend that everyone wants. She may be spoiled, but she’s not rotten ❤️

Technically Dr. Facilier probably IS a royal on his mother’s side, as in New Orleans there is such a thing as a “Voodoo Queen”

They turned back because they got married and that made Tiana a princess. The curse breaks because she was a princess when they kiss.

Both Terrance Howard and Keith David are both big man-crushes of mine XD

GENUINE, BEAUTIFUL & HILARIOUS... MADE MY DAY… LIKED & SUBSCRIBED QUEEN. LOVE FROM THE UK.

As an adult I can say I love this movie it’s the actual first Disney movie that I ended up loving

Hi Jay!!! I loooooooooove princess and the frog ❤️❤️❤️❤️!! It’s my favorite princess movie 🫶🏼 keep being you and doing amazing videos 🤭 love ya girl !

Certainly one of thxe mostbeautiful and inspiring Disney movies ive ever seen

i've been in love with this movie since high school and i was also a BIG fan of How to get away with Murder so when Disney started casting live actions I really wanted Aja Naomi King as Tiana, Alfred Enoch as Naveen and Viola Davis as Tiana's Mum.

I love your energyyyy, first time i found your channel

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2018">33:38</a> second star to the right/evangeline=neverland

Omg I love this movie I grew up with the Spanish version. The soundtrack is so underrated!!🗣️

Almost there is in my top 5 Disney songs!

I adore this movie so much!!🥹

This song at the beggining. 🥰❤

😂🤣 Lottie was wild but a real one. That took me by surprise. This is one of my favorite soundtracks.

The fact that tiana was missing for three days and no one seemed concerned or worried😂😂 still love the movie

I would TREASURE a friend like Lottie. She had true genuine UNCONDITIONAL sisterly love for Tiana

Love this movie ❤❤❤ literally one of my all time favs !!

FAVV MOVIEEE UGH I LOVE IT IT SM I GREW UP W IT FAV PRINCESS FAV EVERYTHING

This movie came out the same week as Twilight: New Moon. I think i was, like, 14. My mom and I tried to see this, but it was sold out, so we saw New Moon instead. We saw this the next weekend, and mom definitely enjoyed this one 1,000,000 times more. I actually love this movie, and am so glad that even though I'm 30 now, Disney animated movies are still right up my alley!

Happy you enjoyed the film. Princess & the Frog is one of my favorite Disney films! Good news is that there will be a DisneyPlus series that will continue the story of The Princess & the Frog and most likely they will be humans throughout it.

NOW THE TITLE 😆😆???

I want Normani to play the role of Tiana. She is literally from New Orleans. She can sing she can dance, she has the perfect smile and she is obsessed with this movie. She would be perfect for the role
