* ThrowItIn: Originally, the plan was for Naveen to say "That's new" after his vocal sac inflates suddenly in a surprised tone of voice (i.e. "Whoa, that's new.") However, Bruno Campos said the line in a suave tone of voice, making the scene arguably much funnier (especially since his new tone of voice makes it sound more like "That's a new feature", in other words, that he's trying to pretend he already knew about it).

** Another Disneyland shout-out! In the end credits, there's a shot of a run down shack in the middle of the bayou with a rocking chair on the front porch and a little rowboat next to it. This looks suspiciously familiar to the little shack with the old man in a wooden rocking chair in the beginning of the PiratesOfTheCaribbean ride, which just happens to be located in New Orleans Square.

** Anyone else notice that during Facilier's song and dance number he strikes a pose very reminiscent to the recently deceased [[MichaelJackson King of Pop]]? In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdQs7zPC_mg this video]], it is confirmed Dr. Facilier was inspired by Michael Jackson as well as JimCarrey, Jack Lemmon, and Usher. Oh, and when creating Dr. Facilier, Bruce W. Smith was imagining what the love child of [[CrackPairing Captain Hook and Cruella de Vil]] would be like. He's also definitely channeling some Cab Calloway in his moves, and the first part of his song is somewhat reminiscent of "Minnie The Moocher", and Naveen's dancing shows influence from both Fred Astaire and GeneKelly.
** Louis references Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet in "When We're Human". Plus:
-->[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wFBBtuq4Io "I know that tune!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoilYt_LAe0 Dippermouth Blues!"]]

** After [[spoiler:Ray joins Evangeline as a star in the sky]], it's made a bit clearer that Evangeline is the [[PeterPan second star on the right]].
** During Dr. Facilier's demise, a certain doll bears a strong resemblance to [[LiloAndStitch Lilo's favorite doll...]]
** Theres a scene where Charlotte dances with Naveen. It uses the bit of animation previously seen at the end of both Disney/SleepingBeauty and Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast. Part of the point of this scene is to evoke the scene where the Prince dances with Cinderella since Charlotte wishes to be such a princess. Her gown is also based off of concept art from Cinderella.
** The scene where Dr. Facilier summons the shadow demons is very reminiscent of [[{{Fantasia}} A Night On Bald Mountain]].
** The shadows are also reminiscent of the animated "creatures" seen in [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Oogie Boogie's lair]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrAUuWU1y4s one of them even looks like Jack Skellington!]]
** [[spoiler:Ray ends up dying, and we see him put to rest at his funeral]]. Consider that John Lasseter is a huge StudioGhibli fan, and what do you come up with? [[spoiler:''Grave of the Fireflies''.]]
** Look carefully during Tiana's DreamSequence song 'Almost There'. The piano player is none other than Duke Ellington.
** When Tiana was wearing the blue princess gown, is it me or did her necklace look a LOT like the necklace {{Pocahontas}} wears?
** At one point when Naveen and Tiana first meet Louis, he pulls on some Spanish moss similar to how Mad Madam Mim pulls her hair in "The Sword and the Stone".
** Lawrence getting his head stuck in a tuba may be a possible shout out to ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', where the same thing happens to [[ButtMonkey Lefou]].
** There's a scene from ''Ma Belle Evangeline'' during Naveen and Tiana's dance where Ray lights up the lilypads, leaves, and dandelions in a manner very similar to the ''Nutcracker Suite'' from ''{{Fantasia}}''.
** During the credits, Naveen and Tiana (as frogs) are sitting on a leaf, and go down a water fall. Naveen plucks a white water lily from the side, giving it to Tiana, copying a nearly identical scene to the magic carpet ride from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''.

The swans making a heart with their necks also might be a shout out to the ones from ''Cinderella III''. Whew.
** Also, there was a man dressed as an octopus with several glasses of wine. He and teh lady who he got them from are shout outs to people who worked on the movie. When the man sees Tiana and Naveen go past with Stella chasing them, [[NoMoreForMe he dumps out his wine]]. The scene, what with the expression and the mannerisms are similar to those one man from Disney/TheAristocats makes when seeing a ''mouse'' chase a ''cat''. let's call it a day, shall we, and just give this shout out section its own page.
** It's possible that [[spoiler:Naveem and Tiana transform after their froggy wedding]] is a ShoutOut to the way that Odette's transformations were animated in TheSwanPrincess.
** Several other music scores and minor mannerisms from earlier definitely put it in mind.
** The scene where Tiana walks in on [[spoiler:Charlotte and Lawrence in disguise as Naveen's wedding]] has a striking resemblance to the scene where [[TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] walks in on Ursula, disguised as a woman, with a hypnotized Prince Eric.
** The gag with the drummer at the Mardi Gras party is possibly a shout-out to ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', in which something similar happened when Dopey tried to catch a fly while playing a makeshift drum set.

** Mama Odie's put-upon snake sidekick: a benevolent version of Sir Hiss from ''Disney/RobinHood''. Or [[Disney/TheJungleBook Kaa?]]
** Numerous Shout Outs for New Orleans natives.
-->'''Naveen:''' My friend, we are from a place far, far away from here.\\
'''Ray:''' Go to bed!! Y'all from Shreveport?
** Anyone else notice that during Facilier's song and dance number he strikes a pose very reminiscent to the recently deceased [[MichaelJackson King of Pop]]? In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdQs7zPC_mg this video]], it is confirmed Dr. Facilier was inspired by Michael Jackson as well as JimCarrey, Jack Lemmon, and Usher. Oh, and when creating Dr. Facilier, Bruce W. Smith was imagining what the love child of [[CrackPairing Captain Hook and Cruella de Vil]] would be like. He's also definitely channeling some Cab Calloway in his moves, and the first part of his song is somewhat reminiscent of "Minnie The Moocher", and Naveen's dancing shows influence from both Fred Astaire and GeneKelly.
** Louis references Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet in "When We're Human". Plus:
-->[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wFBBtuq4Io "I know that tune!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoilYt_LAe0 Dippermouth Blues!"]]
*** Works as both a ShoutOut to his namesake and King Oliver!
** [[TheCountofMonteCristo "You find your own tree!"]]
** Ray thinks Evangeline (a star) is a firefly. Later, a despaired Tiana tells him that it's just a ball of gas far away. This alludes to a scene in ''TheLionKing'' where Pumbaa asks Timon what those "sparkling dots are up there". A confident Timon tells him that they are fireflies that got stuck in the sky, and Pumbaa is embarrassed to admit he always thought they were balls of gas millions of miles away. [[spoiler:This movie shows Timon might have been right.]]
** After [[spoiler:Ray joins Evangeline as a star in the sky]], it's made a bit clearer that Evangeline is the [[PeterPan second star on the right]].
** During Dr. Facilier's demise, a certain doll bears a strong resemblance to [[LiloAndStitch Lilo's favorite doll...]]
** Theres a scene where Charlotte dances with Naveen. It uses the bit of animation previously seen at the end of both Disney/SleepingBeauty and Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast. Part of the point of this scene is to evoke the scene where the Prince dances with Cinderella since Charlotte wishes to be such a princess. Her gown is also based off of concept art from Cinderella.
** The scene where Dr. Facilier summons the shadow demons is very reminiscent of [[{{Fantasia}} A Night On Bald Mountain]].
** The shadows are also reminiscent of the animated "creatures" seen in [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Oogie Boogie's lair]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrAUuWU1y4s one of them even looks like Jack Skellington!]]
** [[spoiler:Ray ends up dying, and we see him put to rest at his funeral]]. Consider that John Lasseter is a huge StudioGhibli fan, and what do you come up with? [[spoiler:''Grave of the Fireflies''.]]
** Look carefully during Tiana's DreamSequence song 'Almost There'. The piano player is none other than Duke Ellington.
** When Tiana was wearing the blue princess gown, is it me or did her necklace look a LOT like the necklace {{Pocahontas}} wears?
** At one point when Naveen and Tiana first meet Louis, he pulls on some Spanish moss similar to how Mad Madam Mim pulls her hair in "The Sword and the Stone".
** Lawrence getting his head stuck in a tuba may be a possible shout out to ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', where the same thing happens to [[ButtMonkey Lefou]].
** There's a scene from ''Ma Belle Evangeline'' during Naveen and Tiana's dance where Ray lights up the lilypads, leaves, and dandelions in a manner very similar to the ''Nutcracker Suite'' from ''{{Fantasia}}''.
** During the credits, Naveen and Tiana (as frogs) are sitting on a leaf, and go down a water fall. Naveen plucks a white water lily from the side, giving it to Tiana, copying a nearly identical scene to the magic carpet ride from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''. Not long after, two birds pull apart a curtain of vines, mirroring a scene from ''TheLittleMermaid'', onto a scene with Tiana and Naveen walking over a bridge similar to one from ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}''. The swans making a heart with their necks also might be a shout out to the ones from ''Cinderella III''. Whew.
** Also, there was a man dressed as an octopus with several glasses of wine. He and teh lady who he got them from are shout outs to people who worked on the movie. When the man sees Tiana and Naveen go past with Stella chasing them, [[NoMoreForMe he dumps out his wine]]. The scene, what with the expression and the mannerisms are similar to those one man from Disney/TheAristocats makes when seeing a ''mouse'' chase a ''cat''. let's call it a day, shall we, and just give this shout out section its own page.
** It's possible that [[spoiler:Naveem and Tiana transform after their froggy wedding]] is a ShoutOut to the way that Odette's transformations were animated in TheSwanPrincess.
** Several other music scores and minor mannerisms from earlier definitely put it in mind.
** The scene where Tiana walks in on [[spoiler:Charlotte and Lawrence in disguise as Naveen's wedding]] has a striking resemblance to the scene where [[TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] walks in on Ursula, disguised as a woman, with a hypnotized Prince Eric.
** The gag with the drummer at the Mardi Gras party is possibly a shout-out to ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', in which something similar happened when Dopey tried to catch a fly while playing a makeshift drum set.
** At the end, when Facilier [[spoiler:is about to be taken down by his [[WithFriendsLikeThese "friends"]], look at the three masks when they say "Are you ready?". Don't they remind you of [[TheLionKing three hyenas?]]. Specifically, compare the part with the one on "Be prepared" when the trio sings "Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared". Also, Facilier calls them "friends", only to be proved otherwise, the same way Scar call the hyenas friends before his demise.]]
