History Awesome / ThePrincessAndTheFrog

* Tiana finally buying the warehouse -- racism/sexism gets trumped by a 700-pound and ''VERY'' angry alligator.

-->'''Odie:''' [[BondOneLiner Not bad for a 197-year-old blind lady!]] [[WhatTheHellHero Now which one of you naughty kiddy been messing with the Shadow Man?]]

--> '''Tiana:''' My daddy never did get what he wanted… But he ''had'' what he ''needed.'' He had love! He never lost sight of what was ''really'' important! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NEITHER. WILL. I!]]

--> '''Tiana:''' [[BadassBoast I got news for you, Shadow Man.]] [[InsistentTerminology It's not slime! It's]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTqHbiE0vl8 mucus]]''!

-->'''Dr. Facilier:''' No, no...! Please, no... AAAAAHHH!!! Just a little more time!!! I promise I'll pay y'all back! I PROMISE!!!

* Mama Odie's entrance, banishing a number of the demons:

-->'''Odie:''' [[BondOneLiner Not bad for a 197-year-old blind lady!]] [[WhatTheHellHero Now which one of you naughty children been messing with the Shadow Man?]]

-->'''Odie:''' [[BondOneLiner Not bad for a 197-year-old blind lady!]] [[WhatTheHellHero Now which one of you naughty kiddy been messing with the Shadow Man?]]

--> '''Tiana:''' My daddy never did get what he wanted… But he ''had'' what he ''needed.'' He had love! He never lost sight of what was important! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NEITHER. WILL. I!]]

* Louis is living his dream at the Mardi Gras parade blowing his trumpet (mainly due to the fact that the marching band is wearing animal costumes and they think he's a guy in a gator costume), when he sees Ray being chased by Shadow Demons. What does ol' Louis do? He scowls and roars fiercely, and the crowd flees out of his path. That's right, he was willing to sacrifice his dream to help a friend.

* [[VillainSong "Friends On The Other Side"]] is Dr. Facilier's crowning moment, especially at the end when he tells Naveen to blame "my friends on the other side".

--> '''Tiana:''' [[InsistentTerminology "It's not slime! It's]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTqHbiE0vl8 mucus]]''!"

--> '''Tiana:''' My daddy never did get what he wanted. But he ''had'' what he ''needed.'' He had love! He never lost sight of what was important! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NEITHER. WILL. I!]]

-->'''Odie:''' [[BondOneLiner Not bad for a 197-year-old blind lady!]] [[WhatTheHellHero Now which one of you's been messing with the Shadow Man?]]

-->'''Dr. Facilier:''' NO!!! Just a little more time!!! I promise I'll pay y'all back, I promise!!!

* Terrifying though it may be, no one can deny that the reprise "The Friends On the Other Side" was a CMOA. Besides seeing Dr. Facilier get his comeuppance, it's so awesome to see his puppets, his Shadow Demons, and ''even'' his voodoo symbols turn against him in this final scene.

* The whole movie qualifies since it shouts "Disney's back!" as loudly and awesomely as ''The Little Mermaid'' did 20 years earlier. History does indeed repeat itself.
** And the fact they managed it using one of the most classic fairy tales: taking an old and over-used story and telling it in a way that still makes it a good and pleasant story is nothing but awesome storytelling.

* When Ray dies. Why is this awesome? It's a gutsy move for Disney, whom [[MoralGuardians prudish parents]] seem to feel must avoid the HeroicSacrifice, [[NostalgiaFilter and has never, ever had any]] [[CharacterDeath horrible death]] or NightmareFuel in their films unless it happens to the villain. Sure, there was [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Mufasa,]] but his was a first act DeathByOriginStory.

* "Don't make me light my butt!" Ray vs. Facilier's minions. That is one tough firefly.

** Major props to Tiana's quick thinking. She's pinned to the sidewalk, stuck as a frog, ''loa'' are closing in, and she's ''still'' got enough presence of mind to make that last strike by using her ''tongue'' to snatch the amulet.
-->'''Tiana:''' [[InsistentTerminology "It's not slime! It's]] ''[[InsistentTerminology mucus]]''!"
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTqHbiE0vl8 Video here.]]
*** Particularly because she gets over her {{Squick}} at being a frog and embraces the utility of her condition.

*** And score one for Tiana, who promptly [[NiceJobFixingItVillain takes advantage of her frog-form's MUCH smaller size]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard to smash the talisman before Facilier or his shadow can do anything!]]

* Tiana facing down Facilier at the end. Awesome does not cover it. She's pinned to the sidewalk, stuck as a frog, ''loa'' are closing in, and she's ''still'' got enough presence of mind to make that last strike by using her ''tongue'' to snatch the amulet.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTqHbiE0vl8 Video here.]]
** Particularly because she gets over her {{Squick}} at being a frog and embraces the utility of her condition.

* Another Crowning Moment for Facilier would be when his shadow stops Tiana from destroying the talisman (the first time she tried).
** And score one for Tiana, who takes advantage of her frog-form's MUCH smaller size to smash the talisman before Facilier or his shadow can do anything!
* Dr. Facilier's temptation of Tiana in the climactic scene is a crowning moment for them both -- for the villain, his BreakingSpeech (how could it be otherwise when delivered by Keith David?); for the heroine, her KirkSummation response as she moves to destroy his talisman.
--> '''Tiana:''' My daddy never did get what he wanted. But he ''had'' what he ''needed.'' He had love! He never lost sight of what was important! And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis NEITHER. WILL. I!]]

* "Don't make me light my butt!" Ray vs. Facilier's minions. That is one bad firefly.

* "Don't make me light up my butt!" Ray vs. Facilier's minions. That is one badass Firefly.
** Ray is only the SECOND being thats been able to even hurt the "friends", the only other being Mama Odie, who was able to banish/destroy them fully. Ray holds them at bay, burning pieces off them with his light(and only is defeated when Facilier swats him.)

* Tiana facing down Facilier at the end. Awesome does not cover it. She's pinned to the sidewalk, stuck as a frog, legions of Hell are closing in, and she's ''still'' got enough presence of mind to make that last strike by using her ''tongue'' to snatch the amulet.

** Also, a crowning moment for the animations: just watch Facilier's dance?

* Terrifying though it may be, no one can debate that "The Friends On the Other Side" Reprise wasn't a CMOA. Besides seeing Dr. Facilier reach his villainous comeuppance, it's so awesome to see his puppets, his Shadow Demons, and ''even'' his voodoo symbols turn against him in this final scene.

* Tiana finally buying the warehouse -- racism/sexism gets trumped by a 700-pound angry alligator.
* [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome We don't get to see what he did,]] but Tiana's father, a black man serving in the segregated U.S. armed forces during [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI W.W.I,]] did ''something'' that warranted the Distinguished Service Cross (the second highest American military award).
