Who is Princess Tiana?

Princess Tiana Has Arrived. From the new Disney movie the Princess and the Frog, comes a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. She's the new princess in town and her name is Princess Tiana. Unfortunately, she has to venture as the frog princess until her quest is fulfilled.

Without a doubt, Princess Tiana will be hailed as a positive role model for all young girls regardless of ethnic background. Kudos to Disney Studios for digging back to its roots and bringing us a movie that again shows us that "dreams can come true."

Princess Tiana is not your typical frog kissing Disney princess. She's a hard-working dreamer and not the type of person who'll wait for the star to fall out of the sky to grant her wishes. She's determined to make things happen and make her own dreams come true. That's what makes this turned frog princess so different.

Can't Stop Won't Stop This Frog Princess

The perseverance of Princess Tiana is expressed in the song "Almost There" were the young princess expresses to her mother Eudora the desire to open and transform an old rundown building into a beautiful happening restaurant. She goes on faith and the words of her father James, who taught her the importance of always holding on to her dreams.

Throughout the movie Princess Tiana appears in three different forms. She appears as little girl, a grown up and of course as a frog princess. This is where the movie gets good. Though logical in her pursuit to fulfill her life's goals and her Daddy's dream, Tiana can't seem to see the forest for the trees. She doesn't realize what's happening along the way.

Tiana proves her point in the song "Almost There" performed early on in the movie:

"I don't have time for dancing!
That's just gonna have to wait a while
Ain't got time for messing around,
And it's not my style.
This old town can slow you down
People taking the easy way

But I know exactly where I'm going
Getting closer and closer every day
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, I've had my share.
There ain't nothing gonna stop me now, cause I'm almost there."

She is determined not to slow down and enjoy herself, such a focused young lady. Tiana is on a mission to get her restaurant. All that other stuff can wait. Romance is not even thought of and she's clearly not considering wasting her time salivating over a man. There's a few women out here that need to adopt this approach in some way in their lives (the man salivating part), but that's another topic.

Princess Tiana can't stand frogs. They're repulsive to her. She ironically meets Prince Naveen who has been tricked by the "Shadow man." and as luck would have it, became a frog prince. In his attempt to be charming, but completely starting off on the wrong foot (just like a man...ha-ha! Just kidding), he somehow convinces Tiana to kiss him. Unlike the result he or she expected, she turns into a frog herself (becoming the frog princess). How ironic for someone who hates frogs! She becomes taken over by her frog instincts and this is where their fun adventures begin.
