* CompressedVice: The Fenner Brothers seem to be perfectly nice gentlemen until their ill-fated encounter with Tiana at the party. Their awkward attempt to let her down lightly has racist undertones that come [[OutOfCharacterMoment right out of nowhere]] and certainly weren't in evidence when they spoke with her about the sale earlier. The only thing these lines do [[KickTheDog is make the audience hate them]] when all they were really guilty of was being willing to accept payment for the sugar mill from someone else. Although there may not have even ''been'' another buyer, which completely changes the tone of the interaction.

* AnAesop: If the movie has an Aesop that counts for all concerned (even Louis), it would be that money and fame mean nothing in comparison to love and friendship.

* JarOfTheBizarre: Mama Odie is blind and toothless, and keeps what appear to be her original eyes and teeth inside a jar in her house in the bayou (a boat in the branches of a tree). The eyes can still move and follow Naveen and Tiana when they walk past them.

--->'''Naveen:''' ''[to Ray]'' Pardon me, but your accent... it is funny, no?
**
--->'''Charlotte:''' I thought wishing on stars was for babies... and ''crazy'' people! ''[EyeTwitch]''

* MagicCauldron: Mama Odie has one in her hut. While she uses it to prepare actual edible Gumbo, it also works as some sort of magical mirror that can answer questions and show things happening miles away.

* PimpedOutDress: Tiana's magic lily pad dress, as well as the collection of pink monstrosities Tiana's mother makes for Charlotte.

--->'''Naveen:''' Well, waitress, it looks like we're going to be here a while. We might as well get... ''comfortable''.

--->'''Tiana:''' Just... one kiss?\\

-->'''Dr. Facilier''': I HOPE YOU'RE SATISFIED! But if you ain't, don't blame me! You can blame my friends on the other side!

--->'''Mama Odie:''' How your grandma doin'?\\

--->'''Naveen:''' You will enjoy, I guarantee. All women enjoy the ''kiss'' of Prince Naveen. Come! We pucker!\\

* ActofTrueLove: [[spoiler: Naveen ultimately decides to go through with his marriage to Charlotte on the condition she gives Tiana the money needed to finally buy the restaurant she's dreamt of having, even though he's come to love her very much. Tiana turns down his attempt, deciding her dream wouldn't be complete without him in it.]]

* FacePalm: Mama Odis understandably does this when Tiana misses the point of her "Dig A Little Deeper" song.

* AlmostKiss: Naveen and Tiana, after their DanceOfRomance. Tiana is the first to realize what's happening, and they both cut it off.

* GenreSavvy: Tiana, Charlotte, and Naveen are all familiar with the tale of the Frog Prince. As a result, both girls are willing to try kissing the frog to solve the problem.

** The use of any traditional religious symbols was avoided because they didn't want to offend anyone who practiced Voudou in real life.

* AnimalSweetOnObject: Ray the firefly mistakes a star for another firefly named "Evangeline" and falls in love with it.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: "Tiana" was virtually unheard-of as an American woman's name in the 1920s; it's one of several [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_names predominantly African-American given names]] that didn't become commonplace until the 1970s due to the cultural influence of the Black Power movement, ultimately reaching the peak of its popularity in the 1990s.

* AdaptationTitleChange: ''The Princess and The Frog'' is inspired by the novel ''The Frog Princess''.
