The Princess and the Frog

copyright The Disney Co.

Have you seen it? We went on opening weekend and contributed to the 25 million opening. My girls gave it two thumbs way up! I enjoyed it too, although I don't think it would make it into my Disney Top 5. Still, a solid princess story that can be enjoyed by the whole family.


As you probably know, Disney animators have quite a sense of humor and tend to interject "inside jokes" into their films. And The Princess and the Frog is no exception. If you haven't seen it yet, or if you plan to go back for a second viewing, here are a few things to watch for:


  • In the opening sequence, as the song "Down in New Orleans" plays, you can see a bystander shake out the Magic Carpet from Aladdin.

  • When we meet Mama Odie, during the song "Dig a Little Deeper," she is sorting through some items and the Lamp from Aladdin is spotted among them.

  • During the Mardi Gras parade, one of the floats has the figure of King Triton from The Little Mermaid on it.


I'm sure there are more...these are just the easiest to spot. (In fact, my 6-year-old spotted King Triton!) Have fun viewing and looking for others!
