History Awesome / ThePrincessAndTheFrog

* Tiana finally buying the warehouse -- racism gets trumped by a 300-pound hungry alligator.

* While it's definitively [[NightmareFuel/{{Disney}} Nightmare Fuel]], no one can debate that "The Friends On the Other Side" Reprise wasn't a CMOA. Besides seeing Dr. Facilier reach his villainous comeuppance [[spoiler: it's so awesome to see his puppets, his Shadow Demons, and ''even'' his voodoo symbols turn against him in this final scene]].

* When Ray [[spoiler: dies.]] Why is this awesome? It's a gutsy move for Disney, who [[MoralGuardians prudish parents]] seem to believe must do not wrong, [[NostalgiaFilter and has never, ever had any]] [[CharacterDeath horrible death]] or NightmareFuel in their films. Sure, there was [[Disney/TheLionKing Mufasa,]] but his was a first act DeathByOriginStory.

** '''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome ARE]] [[DarkReprise YOU]] [[VillainSong READY?!!]]'''

** *cough* [[Disney/TheLionKing Mufasa]], *cough*

-->'''Tiana''': [[InsistentTerminology "It's not slime! It's]] ''[[InsistentTerminology mucus]]''!"

* *cough* [[TheLionKing Mufasa]], *cough*

* AwesomeMusic: It's hard to pick one with such a good soundtrack, but "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4pStVNQc4M Friends On the Other Side]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouKJAUe_RX4 When We're Human]]", and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjfFiWutOu0 both]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M28ZJwW1KIg versions]] of "Down in New Orleans" get particular mention.
** Don't forget "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DectIkcKRY Dig A Little Deeper]]"! Mama Odie's voice actress was even backed up by a ''real church chorus''.
*** Add "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nCCqHO17bA Ma Belle Evangeline]]". The song is so heartwarming and sweet!
*** Also from Ray: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2LIKT414Tg Gonna Take You There]]". It was short but very catchy.
*** Especially when linked with good memories; this song was played daily from the Mark Twain Riverboat at Disneyland, at least during November '09, making it a permanent reminder of Disneyland.

* Naveen getting Luis to agree to help them.

* Dr. Facilier's [[spoiler:temptation of Tiana]] in the climactic scene is a crowning moment for them both -- for the villain, his [[spoiler:BreakingSpeech (how could it be otherwise when delivered by Keith David?)]]; for the heroine, her [[spoiler:ShutUpHannibal response as she moves to destroy his talisman]].

* When Ray is [[spoiler: killed off for real.]] Why is this awesome? It's a gutsy move for Disney, who [[MoralGuardians prudish parents]] seem to believe must do not wrong, [[NostalgiaFilter and has never, ever had any]] [[KilledOffForReal horrible death]] or NightmareFuel in their films.
* The whole movie qualifies since it shouts "Disney's back!" as loudly and awesomely as ''The Little Mermaid'' did 20 years ago. History does repeat itself.

* Tiana [[spoiler:destroying the Talisman]].
-->'''Tiana''': [[spoiler: [[InsistentTerminology "It's not slime! It's]] ''[[InsistentTerminology mucus]]''!"]]

* A another Crowning Moment for Facilier would be when [[spoiler: his shadow stops Tiana from destroying the talisman (the first time she tried).]]

* "Friends On The Other Side" is pretty much Dr. Facilier's crowning moment, especially at the end when he tells Naveen to blame "my friends on the other side".
* A better Crowning Moment for Facilier would be when [[spoiler: his shadow stops Tiana from destroying the talisman (the first time she tried).]]

--> '''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 [[ThisIsSparta neither. Will. I!]]

It's a gutsy move for Disney, who [[MoralGuardians prudish parents]] seem to believe must do not wrong, [[NostalgiaFilter and has never, ever had any]] [[KilledOffForReal horrible death]] or [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel nightmare fuel]] in their films.
** umm...what about Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame?
*** I think the OP meant that the prudish parents are the ones seeming to believe in a lack of death in these films, despite Disney's long history of traumatic deaths in many of their classic movies. [[spoiler: Ray's death]] could serve as a wake-up call to these parents.
* Hell, the whole damn movie qualifies since it shouts "Disney's back!" as loudly and awesomely as ''The Little Mermaid'' did 20 years ago. History does repeat itself.

* While it's definitively [[{{HighOctaneNightmareFuel/Disney}} Nightmare Fuel Unleaded]], no one can debate that "The Friends On the Other Side" Reprise wasn't a CMOA. Besides seeing Dr. Facilier reach his villainous comeuppance [[spoiler: it's so awesome to see his puppets, his Shadow Demons, and ''even'' his voodoo symbols turn against him in this final scene]].

** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint umm...what about]] Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame?

*** YourMileageMayVary. For a lot of people that came off as pretty [[{{Narm}} narmtastic]].

* Hell, the whole damn movie qualifies since it shouts "Disney's back!" as loudly and awesomely as ''The Little Mermaid'' did 20 years ago. History does repeat itself.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: "Don't make me light up my butt!" Ray vs. Facilier's minions. That is one BadAss Firefly.
** [[spoiler: And Tiana destroying the Talisman.]]
--->'''Tiana''': [[spoiler: [[InsistentTerminology "It's not slime! It's]] ''[[InsistentTerminology mucus]]''!"]] Particularly because she gets over her {{Squick}} at being a frog and embraces the utility of her condition.

** "Friends On The Other Side" is pretty much Dr. Facilier's crowning moment, especially at the end when he tells Naveen to blame "my friends on the other side".
** A better Crowning Moment for Facilier would be when [[spoiler: his shadow stops Tiana from destroying the talisman (the first time she tried).]]
