** Really, just the friendship with Tiana and Charlotte have in the 1920s and the fact that no one is batting an eye no her opening a non-segregated restaurant back then. She may be married into royalty (So that likely helps in some regards), but she and her best friend are people of two very different races and backgrounds in an era where racism was legally enforced in the USA. Says a lot about the two that they don't let prejudice get in the way of their friendship well into adulthood.

** One of the neighbors (who are probably about as poor as Tiana's family) says "I made hush puppies!" Even when there wasn't much food around, they still brought what they had.

** When Tiana and James are making the gumbo, Tiana lets James taste it. He tastes it, thinks for a minute, says it's the best gumbo he's ever tasted and swings Tiana up in his arms, telling his wife that their daughter has a gift.

* Mama Odie's relationship with her pet python JuJu subverts the old SnakesAreSinister trope and subverts it ''hard''. She dotes on him and even when she uses him as a cane to get around (which causes pain), he just smiles and helps her out as much he can.

* In ''Dig A Little Deeper'', Naveen is showered with gold coins (symbolic of his quest for wealth and financial security that has been driving his plot thus far) and is clutching a coin when Mama Oldie points out Tiana (who is dancing with Ray). Naveen takes one look...and promptly drops the coin he was holding. He doesn't even notice. All he can see is Tiana.

** When Facilier is tempting Tiana, he talks about how James worked double, sometimes triple shifts, "never letting anyone know how bone tired he was" while showing her an illusion of James coming home after a long day at work. He sinks into a chair and sighs, rubbing his neck and looking absolutely ''beat''. When he hears Tiana call for him, James immediately smiles and calls for her, sounding overjoyed to hear her. [[FridgeBrilliance That image is part of what makes Tiana shake off Facilier's offer]].


Added DiffLines:

*** Take a good look at his face when little Tiana calls for him and he calls out "Babycakes!" It's a real, genuine smile. It would be easy (and justified) to show him putting on a brave face. But he doesn't. That's why he works so hard; to make sure his wife and daughter have a good life.

* Depending on your point of view, Lawrence himself gets one just before he and Naveen run into Facilier. He reminds the fun-loving, carefree and lazy Naveen that he needs to either marry a rich woman or get a job. Granted, it might be because he wants to keep his own job (as he can't work for a broke man for free) but it's still clear Lawrence cares enough about his boss (who has treated him as nothing but a ButtMonkey this whole time) to at least try to snap him out of his laissez faire lifestyle. Too bad it doesn't last though...

* When Tiana is tricked into thinking that Naveen has dumped her to marry Charlotte (unaware it's Lawrence in disguise), she angrily chews Ray out for believing in dreams and that he's not going to be with Evangeline, ever. How does Ray react when Tiana finishes her CallingTheOldManOut speech and leaves? He looks at Evangeline, says in a soft voice "She's just speaking from a broken heart, ''cher''" and goes to find out what's gotten into Naveen. He's not even ''angry'' at Tiana for being mean to not only him but Evangeline.
