It doesn’t matter how old we are, it’s always nice to watch cartoons. They immerse us in a special world where everything is possible, and also teach something new. The cartoon "Princess and the Frog" (2010) and the actors that voiced it created a completely new story. It has a lot of music, landscapes of the beautiful city of New Orleans, as well as great meaning, because each of the characters must understand himself and change in order to achieve the desired goal. Learn more about the plots, actors and characters from this article.
How did the idea come about
A few years before the release of the cartoon, Walt Disney Animation led the duet of John Lasseter and Ed Catmull. Despite the peculiarities of the development of animation, the emergence of new techniques for creating projects, they were convinced that the Disney animation technique has become a separate and self-sufficient direction, which even after a year has not exhausted itself, and therefore can be actively used today. For many viewers, it became the key to a good story.
Confirmation of this power was John Lasseter himself . He stood at the origins of computer animation, contributed greatly to its development, but his love and respect for Disney animation never lost their strength.
Script creation
The creators decided to leave the main motive of the story unchanged. However, they brought in the well-known formula, kiss the frog, and he will turn into a prince, new elements.
Generations are changing, and therefore life has become a style in history. The plot does not unfold in a fictional magical land, but in New Orlan, but nevertheless, many characters still did not completely break the connection with magic. These parallels are clearly traced: Odi's mother is peculiar and eccentric, but looks like a fairy godmother; Naveen - although he is a prince more in documents than in lifestyle, he has every chance of changing this; Tiana is something like Cinderella, but with a strong character and purpose; Papule is the king of the Mardi Gras festival, but in a metaphorical sense owns the kingdom of New Orleans; Fasilie is an evil and treacherous sorcerer. Correctly selected actors of the “Prince and the Frog” were able to give the characters lively and emotional voices, thanks to which the cartoon became special.
Plot
In the French quarter of one of the most beautiful cities - New Orleans, a girl lives. She grew up in a poor but happy family: the mother is a dressmaker, her father is a worker, but in his heart he is a first-class cook. Tiana, voiced by the animated film Princess and the Frog (2010) Anika Noni Rose, adopted this passion and cooking was almost the only chance to be together.
Years passed and the little girl grew up. Father died, but his dream was to establish his own restaurant, Tiana shared since childhood. A porn girl goes to the goal. When her peers spend time at parties, walk around the city, stop for a meal in a cafe, she works at the same time on several jobs and puts aside every coin. And so, Tiana is close to buying a building where her restaurant will be, but they ask for more for him and if you don’t pay the money on time, another will buy it.
But New Orleans continues to live: music, noise, dancing - all this as if blood fills the city. Soon the Mardi Gras holiday and the prince will come to it! He is voiced by the actor of the cartoon "Princess and the Frog" (2010) Bruno Campos. As a child, Tiana and her friend Charlotte heard a hundred times the story of a magic kiss that could stop the frog in the prince.
But we live in the real world. Tina has to cook at the party, but accidentally gets her dress dirty, and Charlotte dresses her in one of her own. Now the girl is very similar to the princess. Left alone, Tiana asks the star for help, which always shines brightly in the sky.
A frog appears out of nowhere, but it is a talking one! Then this green kid says that he is a prince and bewitched. He sees Tiana in a princess costume and asks to kiss him to dispel the spell. The girl agrees, but the effect turned out to be exactly the opposite - she herself becomes a frog!
Fleeing from the dog, the heroes flee to the swamps, where they meet Louis - a crocodile who dreams of playing jazz. He is voiced by the actor of the cartoon "Princess and the Frog" (2010) Keith David. Together they go to Mama Odi, the voodoo witch who knows all the answers. She tells the heroes what to do and they set off again.
Gradually, Tiana and Navin realize that they are in love, but can they be together?

Actors of the Russian voice acting “Princesses and Frogs”: Anna Buturlina, Stas Piekha, Andrey Belyavsky, Billy Novik and many others.
Interesting
Before the creation of the cartoon “Princess and the Frog” (2010), the team visited all the most interesting places in New Orleans to give credibility to the story. But the pursuit of excellence did not end there.
There were several boxes of live frogs on the site, so that the animators could observe their behavior.
