Literary Analysis Essay
“The Princess and the Frog” In “The Princess and the Frog” Walt Disney Animation Studios presents a musical set in the great city of New Orleans. "The Princess and the Frog" marks Disney's return to the warmth and gratefulness of hand drawn animation.

Meanwhile, Prince Naveen, a member of the royal family of Maldonia, has been cut off from his parents' fortune and travels to the United States to find a rich bride, allowing him to maintain his accustomed carefree (and responsibility-free) lifestyle.
