* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original version of the fairy tale, neither the princess or the frog come across as very likable - the frog forces the princess (implied to be quite young) to keep him as a friend if he gets her back her ball and the princess abandons him and ultimately throws him against the wall (which breaks the curse, but still). In this version, the princess is a kind young woman who is happy to keep the frog as a pet and is trying to keep the evil witch from taking over the kingdom, while the frog is very polite and kind to her [[spoiler:and ultimately defeats the witch]].
