The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief is a 2009 American 3D live action/traditionally animated/computer-animated musical romantic fantasy comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Loosely based on the novel The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker, which is in turn based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "The Frog Prince", it is the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, sharing with the 11th feature, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. It shares with Disney's The Little Mermaid and Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2 as Disney's holiday anniversary films. The film is directed by Ron Clements & John Musker (Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Great Mouse Detective, Treasure Planet, Moana, Hercules), produced by Peter Del Vecho (Treasure Planet, Frozen & Muppets & Fairies' Wintery Secret, Frozen Fever w/ Never Muppetational Pirate) and John Lasseter (Toy Story, Cars, A Bug's Life), and screenplay written by Clements, Musker, and Rob Edwards (Treasure Planet). Set in 1920s New Orleans, the film tells the story of a hardworking waitress Tiana who dreams of owning her own restaurant and a tinker fairy named Tinker Bell dreams of going to the mainland for springtime with the fairies of Pixie Hollow. After kissing Prince Naveen of Maldonia who has been turned into a frog by an evil witch doctor, Tiana must find a way to turn back into a human before it is too late. Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes' team dreams of owning freedom with the help of retired basketball player named Michael Jordan by competing in the basketball game against the Nerdlucks/MonStars who steal the talents from the NBA players.
The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief began production under the working title The Frog Princess and Tinker Bell and the Ring of Belief. It marked Disney's return to traditional animation, as it was the studio's first traditionally animated film since Home on the Range. Co-directed Ron Clements and John Musker, directors of Disney's highly successful films The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, returned to Disney to direct The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief. The studio returned to a Broadway musical-style format frequently used during the Disney Renaissance, and features music written by composer Randy Newman, well known for his musical involvement in Pixar films such as A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Cars, and the Toy Story trilogy (I + II + III). The film also marked the return of Disney animated musical films based on well-known stories since the Disney Renaissance. It feature the ensemble voice cast that stars Anika Noni Rose, Mae Whitman, Michael Jordan, Bruno Campos, Keith David, Michael-Leon Wooley, Wayne Knight, Danny DeVito, Billy West, Kristin Chenoweth, Dee Bradley Baker, Raven-Symoné, Bob Bergen, Lucy Liu, Bill Farmer, America Ferrera, Jennifer Cody, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, Jeff Bennett, Jane Horrocks, Pamela Adlon, Peter Bartlett, Kath Soucie, Theresa Randle, Bill Murray, Jesse McCartney, Anjelica Huston, Jenifer Lewis, Larry Bird, John Goodman, June Foray, Maurice LaMarche, Oprah Winfrey, and Terrence Howard. Joel McNeely, along with Randy Newman and James Newton Howard composed the music for Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief.
The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief opened in limited release in New York City and Los Angeles on November 25, 2009, and in wide release on December 11, 2009.

It received three Academy Award nominations at the 82nd Academy Awards: one for Best Animated Feature and two for Best Original Song. It lost to Up and Crazy Heart, respectively.

Plot
Young fairy Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) is born from the first laugh of a baby lying in the nursery crib in Bloomsbury, and is brought by the winds to Pixie Hollow. In New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Young girl Tiana (Elizabeth Dampier) and her friend, Miss Charlotte LaBouff (Breanna Brooks), are told the story of the Frog Prince by Tiana's mother, Eudora (Oprah Winfrey), while she makes a dress for Charlotte. Later that night, Tiana and her father James (Terrence Howard) make gumbo while he tells her how good food brings people together and about his dream of owning his own restaurant. Professional basketball player Michael Jordan (Himself) announces his retirement from the sport to follow his late father's career as a baseball player.
Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) is a young waitress who works at two different diners and in order to raise money to buy an old sugar mill, which she plans to turn into the restaurant her father dreamed about. Tinker Bell learns that her talent is to be one of the tinkers, the fairies and people who make and fix things. Two other tinker fairies, Bobble (Rob Paulsen) and Clank (Jeff Bennett), teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the mainland to bring each season, including spring (the season of Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter). Tinker Bell is thrilled and cannot wait to go to the mainland for spring. Despite Jordan's popularity, it become evident while playing with the minor-league Los Angeles Dodgers, part of the Chicago White Sox farm system; that his baseball talent is nowhere near his basketball talent. Jordan is assigned a publicist, Stan Podolak (Wayne Knight), to make his new career less bumpy.
Meanwhile, in the intergalactic outer space, the Nerdlucks, a group of criminal aliens; led by their boss Mr. Swackhammer (Danny DeVito), plot to capture the Looney Tunes, who really exist in a secret animated world called Looney Tune Land (hidden at the center of the Earth), and make them their newest attractions at Moron Mountain, a failing amusement park. Swackhammer believes enslaving Bugs Bunny (Billy West) and the Tunes in this way will bring in more customers and save Moron Mountain from foreclosure. The Nerdlucks arrive in Looney Tune Land, and since they aren't very intelligent or tall; Bugs, Daffy Duck (Dee Bradley Baker), and the Tunes bargain for their freedom by challenging the Nerdlucks to a basketball game.
While out working, Tinker Bell meets Silvermist (Lucy Liu), a water fairy; Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth), a garden fairy; Iridessa (Raven-Symoné), a light fairy; and Fawn (America Ferrera), an animal fairy. For Mardi Gras, Eli "Big Daddy" LaBouff (John Goodman), a rich sugar baron and Charlotte's father, invites Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos) of Maldonia to his masquerade ball, Charlotte (Jennifer Cody) hires Tiana for catering services, including beignets. Big Daddy seeks to welcome the recently arrived Prince Naveen as an eligible suitor to his daughter. Tiana is thrilled to finally have enough to purchase and renovate the old sugar mill into her restaurant. The financially cut-off Prince Naveen, penniless and unskilled, is intent on marrying a wealthy woman rather than learning a trade. He and his valet Lawrence (Peter Bartlett) encounter Dr. Facilier (Keith David), a voodoo witch doctor who convinces the pair that he can improve both their lives. Instead, Facilier transforms Naveen into a frog and gives Lawrence a voodoo charm that transforms his appearance to that of Naveen's when worn.
After meeting them, she notices Vidia (Pamela Adlon), a fast-flying fairy who immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia challenges her to prove she will be able to go to the mainland. Tinker Bell creates inventions, which she shows to the Minister of Spring (Steve Valentine). But Tinker Bell soon learns from Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) that only nature-talent fairies visit the mainland. At the masquerade ball, Tiana discovers she may lose the sugar mill to a higher bidder. Tiana then meets Prince Naveen, who, believing her to be a princess because of her costume, asks her to kiss him and break Facilier's curse. Tiana reluctantly agrees, in exchange for the money needed to outbid the other buyer. However, instead of Prince Naveen turning back into a human, Tiana is turned into a frog herself. A chase ensues, and Prince Naveen and Tiana escape to a bayou. Facilier intends for Lawrence, under the guise of Naveen, to marry Charlotte in order to gain access to her father's fortune; Lawrence will get 40% of it as payment for his help.
The Nerdlucks travel around the USA and steal the talent of Patrick Ewing (Himself), Larry Johnson (Himself), Charles Barkley (Himself), Muggsy Bogues (Himself), and Shawn Bradley (Himself), who are rendered incapable of playing basketball as a result. They use the stolen talent to transform into gigantic creatures—now called the MonStars—that the Tunes are unable to defeat. Tinker Bell tries her hand at nature skills; making dewdrops with Silvermist, lighting fireflies with Iridessa, and trying with Fawn to teach baby birds to fly, but she fails miserably at all of these. Meanwhile, Bobble and Clank cover for Tinker Bell when questioned by Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks), the tinker fairy overseer. When Tinker Bell returns, she tries to explain, but Mary simply responds that she knows, and expresses her disappointment with Tinker Bell's actions.
To help the Tunes win the game, Bugs recruits Jordan during a relaxing game of golf with Podolak and their friends, Bill Murray (Himself) and Larry Bird (Himself) and recruits him. He reluctantly agrees to help after the MonStars squash him into the shape of a ball and bounce him around like one. Tiana and Naveen meet Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley), a trumpet-playing alligator who longs to be human, and Ray (Jim Cummings), a Cajun firefly who is naively in love with Evangeline, another firefly who is revealed to be the Evening Star. Louis and Ray offer Tiana and Naveen to lead them to find Mama Odie, who they believe can undo the curse. Lawrence later proposes to Charlotte, who agrees, but the magic in Facilier's charm wears off and Lawrence reverts to his original form. Another sample of the prince's blood is needed in order to prolong the spell, but Facilier finds that Lawrence foolishly released him. Facilier turns to the voodoo spirits for help, with the promise that once Lawrence marries Charlotte, he will have total control over New Orleans and will be able to offer the citizens' souls as payment. The voodoo spirits provide shadow demons, who are dispatched to locate Naveen.
On the beach, Tinker Bell finds parts of a music box and a Swan Lake ballerina out how to put them together. Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta witness her doing this, then tell her that she was tinkering and that she should be proud of her talent—if this is what she's good at, the mainland should not matter. But Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland. She asks Rosetta if she will still teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says she thinks that tinkering is Tinker Bell's talent. That night, Bugs and Daffy go to Jordan's house to collect what he needs to play – his basketball gear, barely dodging family dog Charles, who has the shorts. Podolak has been digging out the golf hole to find Jordan, but he follows Bugs and Daffy to another one, reuniting with Jordan and stays to support him, whose team will be called the Tune Squad. Another recruit is Lola Bunny (Kath Soucie) who Bugs falls in love with. The four at last meet the good voodoo priestess Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis) and she tells Tiana and Naveen that Naveen must kiss a true princess for them to become human, and that since Big Daddy is King of the Mardi Gras Parade, Charlotte is a princess, but only until the clock strokes midnight, when Mardi Gras is over.
Somewhere around the United States, the sudden inability of five top NBA players to play basketballs captures the attention of the media—and the rest of the NBA—as more and more NBA teams refuse to take the court, fearing the same phenomenon will attack them. The five NBA players themselves go through a series of physical, medical, psychological and spiritual tests to figure out why they have no talent anymore, to no avail. Eventually all NBA stadiums are quarantined and the season is declared officially over until further notice.
As a last resort, Tinker Bell asks Vidia for help in becoming a garden fairy. Vidia craftily tell her that capturing the sprinting thistles would prove her worth. However, once she sees Tinker Bell making process, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to recapture them, Tinker Bell destroys all the preparations for spring. Tinker Bell decides to leave, but after talking with the light-keeper, Terence (Jesse McCartney), about how important his job is, she realizes the importance of a tinker. The day of the Ultimate Game arrives and the two teams and the Tune Squad & MonStars take the court.
Despite Jordan's leadership, the MonStars dominate the first half of the game. Podolak sneaks into the MonStars' locker room and overhears them talking about how they stole the talent from the NBA players, but he is detected despite hiding in a locker and scorched as a result. Naveen tells Ray he loves Tiana and is willing to give up his dreams for her, but before he can tell her directly, he is captured by the shadow demons and brought to Facilier. Podolak informs the Tune Squad that the MonStars stole the talent from the NBA players. Bugs motivates the team with a "special drink", and the MonStars' commanding lead is reduced to a significantly smaller margin, allowing the characters to take the lead, using Tune weaponry.
After Ray tells Tiana that Naveen truly loves her, Tiana goes to the Mardi Gras Parade only to find "Naveen" marrying Charlotte. Tiana escapes to be alone, while Ray is able to help the real Naveen escape and steals the charm. Ray gives the charm to Tiana to hold back Facilier's minions, but Facilier defeats and mortally wounds him. Seeing Swackhammer angry that the MonStars did not steal Jordan's talent, Jordan takes the chance to raise the stakes. If the Tune Squad wins, the MonStars must give the NBA players their talent back, but if they lose, then Swackhammer is to spare the Tunes in exchange for Jordan. He readily accepts it and Bugs tries to talk him out of it, all the while being aware of what it means if Jordan is subjected to humiliation on Moron Mountain for all time. The MonStars begin playing even dirtier than before at the Tune Squad. Facilier then confronts Tiana and transforms her into her dream form. He then offers to make her restaurant dream come true in exchange for the charm, but Tiana refuses and attempts to destroy the talisman, realizing that even if she does not have what she wants, she still has what she needs. Facilier manages to catch it before it breaks and turns Tiana back into her frog form, unwittingly giving her the opportunity to grab the talisman with his tongue and destroy it. The angered voodoo spirits appear and, using Facilier himself as payment for his debts, drag him to the voodoo version of Hell.
While the innocent Lawrence is arrested, Tiana and Naveen reveal their love to each other. Charlotte, after listening to their explanation of the situation, agrees to kiss Naveen so he and Tiana can be together. The clock strikes before she can kiss him. Louis brings the dying Ray to Naveen and Tiana, who tell him that they are happy to live together as frogs. The Tunes are injured, one by one, until only Jordan, Bugs, Lola and Daffy are left, leaving them short one player. Reluctantly, Jordan puts Podolak in the game, and though he is quickly taken out of action, the MonStars' lead is now down to one. Marvin the Martian (Bob Bergen), who is the referee, tells them that if there is no fifth player, the team will forfeit the game. At the last second, Murray appears in the stadium and joins the team, breaking the fourth wall along the way.
With only seconds left, Murray pulls some clever maneuvering and gets the ball to Jordan. Extending his arm to superhuman lengths (since the laws of physics work differently with the Tunes in Looney Tune Land), Jordan defies being held at midcourt and makes a dunk from half court that beats the buzzer and wins the game. Although Murray has always dreamed of being an NBA player, and Jordan is impressed with her skills, Murray decides to retire from basketball forever. Jordan then helps the MonStars realize that they're bigger than Swackhammer, who confronts them for losing. Fed up with their abusive boss, the MonStars tie him up to a rocket and send him to the moon. At Jordan's request, they reluctantly return the stolen talent to the other players by transferring them to a basketball, which is how they stored the stolen talent earlier in the film. This reverts the MonStars back to the tiny Nerdlucks. Refusing to return to Moron Mountain, the Nerdlucks decide to stay with the Tunes, who only agree if the Nerdlucks can prove themselves to be 'Looney', which they arguably complete on the spot. As Jordan leaves, he tells Bugs to stay out of trouble. Bugs assures him he will and shares a kiss with Lola.
Afterwards, Podolak and Jordan take the Nerdlucks' spaceship and Jordan makes a dramatic appearance with Podolak at a Dodgers baseball game to the cheers of the audience. They then meet Barkley, Ewing, Bogues, Johnson, and Bradley and give the stolen talent back to the NBA players, who immediately regain their lost skills. They offer Jordan a chance to play a 3-on-3 with them, but when Jordan intially refuses, the others wonder if he still has the motivation and talent that the NBA demands. Jordan says, "There's only one way to find out..."
Tinker Bell redeems herself by inventing machines that quicken the process of decorating flowers, ladybugs, etc. This allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus saving the arrival of spring. Vidia is punished for prompting her to cause the chaos and Clarion allows Tinker Bell to join the nature-talent fairies when they bring spring to the mainland. Tinker Bell is given the task of delivering the music box to its original owner (shown to be Wendy Darling (America Young)). The narrator says that when lost toys are found or a broken clock starts to work, "it all means that one very special fairy might be near."
Tiana and Naveen are wed by Mama Odie; because Tiana has married a frog prince, she has become a princess, and their kiss breaks the spell. They share a kiss again. Returning to New Orleans, they had a second wedding at the cathedral. Months later, Tiana and Naveen have transformed the sugar mill into the long awaited restaurant, called Tiana's Palace, after winning the bid with the help of her friends. Tiana and Naveen celebrate their opening with their family and friends.
In a move mirroring his actual comeback, Jordan returns to the Chicago Bulls to reprise his basketball career.

Production
Early development
Disney had once announced that 2004's Home on the Range would be their last traditionally animated film. After the company's acquisition of Pixar in early 2006, Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, the new president and chief creative officer of Disney Animation Studios, reversed this decision and reinstated hand-drawn animation at the studio. Many animators who had either been laid off or had left the studio when the traditional animation units were dissolved in 2003 were located and re-hired for the project. Lasseter also brought back directors Ron Clements and John Musker, whose earlier works include The Great Mouse Detective (1986), The Little Mermaid (1989), Aladdin (1992), Hercules (1997), and Treasure Planet (2002). The duo had left the company in 2005, but Lasseter requested their return to Disney to direct and write the film, and had let them choose the style of animation (traditional or CGI) they wanted to use.
The story for the film began development by merging two separate projects in development at Disney and Pixar at the time, both based around the "Frog Prince" fairy tale. One of the projects was based on E. D. Baker's The Frog Princess, in which the story's heroine (Princess Emma) kisses a prince turned frog (Prince Eadric), only to become a frog herself. The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief returns to the musical film format used in many of the previously successful Disney animated films, with a style Musker and Clements declared, like with Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, had inspiration from Golden Age Disney features such as Cinderella.
Musker and Clements thought that given all fairy tales were set in Europe, they could do an American fairy tale. They stated that they chose New Orleans as a tribute to the history of the city, for its "magical" qualities, and because it was Lasseter's favorite city. The directors spent ten days in Louisiana before starting to write the film.
The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief was originally announced as The Frog Princess in July 2006, and early concepts and songs were presented to the public at the Walt Disney Company's annual shareholders' meeting in March 2007. These announcements drew criticism from African-American media outlets, due to elements of the Frog Princess story, characters, and settings considered distasteful. African-American critics disapproved of the original name for the heroine, "Maddy", due to its similarity to the derogatory term "mammy". Also protested were Maddy's original career as a chambermaid, the choice to have the black heroine's love interest be a non-black prince, which upset opponents of on-screen interracial romance, and the use of a black male voodoo witchdoctor as the film's villain. The Frog Princess title was also thought by critics to be a slur on French people. Also questioned was the film's setting of New Orleans, which had been heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, resulting in the expulsion of a large number of mostly black residents. Critics claimed the choice of New Orleans as the setting for a Disney film with a black heroine was an affront to the Katrina victims' plight.
In response to these early criticisms, the film's title was changed in May 2007 from The Frog Princess to The Princess and the Frog. The name "Maddy" was changed to "Tiana", and the character's occupation was altered from chambermaid to waitress. Talk show host Oprah Winfrey (Bee Movie) was hired as a technical consultant for the film, leading to her taking a voice acting role in the film as Tiana's mother Eudora.
Writing and themes
The head of story, Don Hall, described the plot as a fairy tale "twisted enough that it seems new and fresh", with a kingdom that is a modern city, a handsome prince that is a "knuckleheaded playboy" and a variation on the fairy godmother with Mama Odie. Co-writer Rob Edwards also said The Princess and the Frog was "a princess movie for people who don't like princess movies". As the writers thought Tiana's character motivation of simply dreaming of having her own restaurant was not appealing enough, they expanded so it was her father's as well, with the extra philosophy of "food bringing people together of all walks of life". Musker and Clements stated that while Tiana already starts as a sympathetic character, the events of the plot make her "understand things in a deeper level" and change people around her. Both protagonists would learn from each other — Naveen to take responsibilities, Tiana to enjoy life — as well as figuring from Ray's passion for Evangeline that the perfect balance is brought by having someone you love to share the experience. Tiana became the first African-American Disney Princess.
Voice cast
On December 1, 2006, a detailed casting call was announced for the film at the Manhattan Theatre Source forum. The casting call states the film as being an American fairy tale musical set in New Orleans during the 1920s Jazz Age, and provides a detailed list of the film's major characters.
In February 2007, it was reported that Dreamgirls actresses Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose were top contenders for the voice of Tiana, and that Alicia Keys directly contacted Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook about voicing the role. It was later reported that Tyra Banks was considered for the role as well. By April 2007, it was confirmed that Rose would be voicing Tiana. Three months later, it was reported that Keith David would be doing the voice of Dr. Facilier, the villain of the film.
In November 2008, the film will feature the ensemble voice cast of the Looney Tunes voice actors, Michael Jordan himself, Mae Whitman (Avatar: The Last Airbender) as the Walt's Disney most beloved fairy named Tinker Bell, Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen of Maldonia, Danny DeVito (Hercules) as the villainous Swackhammer of the intergalactic theme park, Wayne Knight (Toy Story 2, Hercules, Tarzan) as Michael Jordan's publicist Stan Podolak, Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked) as garden fairy Rosetta, Raven-Symoné (That's So Raven) as light fairy Iridessa, Lucy Liu (Kung Fu Panda) as water fairy Silvermist, America Ferrera (How to Train Your Dragon) as animal fairy Fawn, Pamela Adlon (Recess) as fast-flying fairy Vidia, Jesse McCartney (Alvin and the Chipmunks) as Terence the pixie dust keeper, Michael-Leon Wooley as the trumpet-playing alligator Louis, Jim Cummings (The Lion King, Aladdin) as Ray the Cajun firefly, Rob Paulsen (Yakko in Animaniacs) and Jeff Bennett (Johnny Bravo) as Bobble and Clank, Bill Murray (Ghostbusters) as himself as the aspiring basketball player/golfer, Jenifer Lewis (Cars) as Mama Odie, Anjelica Huston (Barbie as Rapunzel) as the Pixie Hollow ruler Queen Clarion, Jennifer Cody as the southern belle Charlotte, Jane Horrocks (Corpse Bride, Chicken Run) as Fairy Mary, Peter Bartlett as Naveen's valet Lawrence, John Goodman (Monsters, Inc., The Emperor's New Groove) as Charlotte's father Eli, and Terrence Howard as Tiana's father James.
Animation and design
Clements and Musker had agreed from very early on that the style they were aiming for was primarily that of Lady and the Tramp (1955), a film which they and John Lasseter feel represents "the pinnacle of Disney's style". "After that, everything started becoming more stylized, like Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians – which are fantastic films as well, but there's a particular style (to 'Lady and the Tramp') that's so classically Disney." Lady and the Tramp also heavily informed the style of the New Orleans scenes, while Disney's Bambi (1942) served as the template for the bayou scenes. Bambi was described as a stylistic reference for the painted backgrounds, as according to art director Ian Gooding "Bambi painted what it feels like to be in the forest instead of the forest" so The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief would in turn try capturing the essence of roaming through New Orleans.
The former trend in Disney's hand-drawn features where the characters and cinematography were influenced by a CGI-look has been abandoned. Andreas Deja, a veteran Disney animator who supervised the character of Mama Odie, says "I always thought that maybe we should distinguish ourselves to go back to what 2D is good at, which is focusing on what the line can do rather than volume, which is a CG kind of thing. So we are doing less extravagant Treasure Planet kind of treatments. You have to create a world but we're doing it more simply. What we're trying to do with Princess and the Frog is hook up with things that the old guys did earlier. It's not going to be graphic...". Deja also mentions that Lasseter was aiming for the Disney sculptural and dimensional look of the 1950s: "All those things that were non-graphic, which means go easy on the straight lines and have one volume flow into the other – an organic feel to the drawing." Lasseter also felt that traditional animation created more character believability. For example, with Louis the alligator, created by Eric Goldberg, Lasseter said: "It's the believability of this large character being able to move around quite like that." Choreographer Betsy Baytos was brought by the directors to lead a team of eccentric dancers that gave reference to make each character a different style of movement. The character design tried to create beautiful drawings through subtle shapes, particularly for most characters being human. For the frog versions of Tiana and Naveen, while the animators started with realistic designs, they eventually went for cutesy characters "removing all that is unappealing in frogs", similar to Pinocchio's Jiminy Cricket.
Toon Boom Animation's Toon Boom Harmony software was used as the main software package for the production of the film, as the Computer Animation Production System (CAPS) system that Disney developed with Pixar in the 1980s for use on their previous traditionally animated films had become outdated. The Harmony software was augmented with a number of plug-ins to provide CAPS-like effects such as shading on cheeks and smoke effects. The reinstated traditional unit's first production, a 2007 Goofy cartoon short entitled How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, was partly animated without paper by using Harmony and Wacom Cintiq pressure-sensitive tablets. The character animators found some difficulty with this approach, and decided to use traditional paper and pencil drawings, which were then scanned into the computer systems, for The Princess and the Frog.
The one exception to the new Toon Boom Harmony pipeline was the "Almost There" dream sequence, which utilized an Art Deco graphic style based on the art of Harlem Renaissance painter Aaron Douglas (1899-1979). Supervised by Eric Goldberg and designed by Sue Nichols, the "Almost There" sequence's character animation was done on paper without going through the clean-up animation department, and scanned directly into Photoshop. The artwork was then enhanced to affect the appearance of painted strokes and fills, and combined with backgrounds, using Adobe After Effects.
The visual effects and backgrounds for the film were created digitally using Cintiq tablet displays. Marlon West, one of Disney's veteran animation visual effects supervisors, says about the production; "Those guys had this bright idea to bring back hand-drawn animation, but everything had to be started again from the ground up. One of the first things we did was focus on producing shorts, to help us re-introduce the 2D pipeline. I worked as vfx supervisor on the Goofy short, How to Hook Up Your Home Theater. It was a real plus for the effects department, so we went paperless for The Princess and the Frog." The backgrounds were painted digitally using Adobe Photoshop, and many of the architectural elements were based upon 3D models built in Autodesk Maya. Much of the clean-up animation, digital ink-and-paint, and compositing were outsourced to third party companies in Orlando, Florida (Premise Entertainment), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Yowza! /Yowza Digital Animation, and Brooklin, São Paulo, Brazil (HGN Produções)
In 2008, Joel McNeely (Peter Pan: Return to Never Land), along with Randy Newman (well known for his musical involvement in Pixar films such as A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Cars, Toy Story, and Toy Story 2) and James Newton Howard (Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire) will compose, arrange, and conduct the music for the film, a mixture of the Looney Tunes theme, jazz, blues, and gospel styles performed by the voice cast for the respective Disney Fairies characters and the Looney Tunes.
The film's first teaser trailer was released on November 6, 2008, coinciding with Bolt.
A first theatrical trailer were released on May 27, 2009 and appeared in movie theaters with Up.
A full-length trailer was released on September 18, 2009 and appeared in the showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Soundtrack (November 23, 2009)
The original score for the film was composed by Randy Newman (well known for his musical involvement in Pixar films such as A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Cars, Toy Story, and Toy Story 2), along with Joel McNeely (Return to Never Land, other Disney animated sequels) and James Newton Howard (Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire) with lyrics written by Newman. Newman said he attempted to blend a mixture of jazz, blues, and gospel styles to create the new songs. McNeely recorded the music with an 88-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony and Celtic violin soloist Máiréad Nesbitt at the Sony Scoring Stage.
World premiere release of soundtrack for Walt Disney's first Looney Tunes 2009 animated feature. One of Disney's most beloved characters inspires composer to create magical, playful orchestral score replete with yearning ideas for lost collectibles, lyrical melodies for Tinker Bell, musical wisps for Pixie Hollow and Louisiana, much more. Exotic colors abound. It is a score that literally sparkles with delight. Celtic sounds, birds, crickets, drops of water, all are captured in skillful meld of gently dramatic, hauntingly beautiful musical vignettes. Highlights are plentiful but surely deserving spotlight is "Choosing A Talent" with rich major to minor chords that crescendo into powerful, massive orchestra/choral peroration. Breathtaking! Capturing attention in action mode is powerful "Hawk!", with heroic moment for French horn, trumpet. "Sprinting Thistles" commands as well. For sheer exuberant splendor, listen no further than to "Rebuilding Spring". McNeely shines! And yes, you also get that soaring vocal "Fly To Your Heart" as well. Beautifully packaged, illustrated booklet graces the CD from Walt Disney Records. Joel McNeely conducts.

Release
The film premiered in theaters with a limited run in New York and Los Angeles beginning on November 25, 2009, followed by wide release on December 11, 2009. The film was originally set for release on Christmas Day 2009, but its release date was changed due to a competing family film, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, scheduled for release the same day.
Marketing
The Princess and the Frog was supported by a wide array of merchandise leading up to and following the film's release. Although Disney's main marketing push was not set to begin until November 2009, positive word-of-mouth promotion created demand for merchandise well in advance of the film. Princess Tiana costumes were selling out prior to Halloween 2009, and a gift set of Tiana-themed hair-care products from Carol's Daughter sold out in seven hours on the company's website. Other planned merchandise includes a cookbook for children and even a wedding gown. Princess Tiana was also featured a few months before the release in the Disney on Ice: Let's Celebrate! show. The film itself was promoted through advertisements, including one from GEICO where Naveen, as a frog, converses with the company's gecko mascot.
A live parade and show called Tiana's Showboat Jubilee! premiered on October 26, 2009, at the Magic Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and on November 5 at Disneyland in California. In Disneyland, actors in New Orleans Square paraded to the Rivers of America and boarded the park's steamboat. From there, the cast, starring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Louis the alligator, and Doctor Facilier, would sing songs from the movie, following a short storyline taking place after the events of the film. The Disneyland version's actors actually partook in singing, while the Walt Disney World rendition incorporated lip-syncing.
Tiana's Showboat Jubilee! ran at both parks until January 3, 2010. At Disneyland Park, the show was replaced by a land-based event called Princess Tiana's Mardi Gras Celebration, which features Princess Tiana along with five of the original presentation's "Mardi Gras dancers" and the park's "Jambalaya Jazz Band" as they perform songs from the movie. "Tiana's Mardi Gras Celebration" officially ended on October 3, 2010. However, it returned to Disneyland from 2011-2013 as part of the “Limited Time Magic” family-fun weekends.
Tiana also appears in Disneyland Paris' New Generation Festival. Some of the characters appear frequently during World of Color, the nightly fountain and projection show presented at Disney California Adventure. Disney announced on June 4, 2009, that they would release a video game inspired by the film and it was released on November 2009 exclusively for Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. It has been officially described an "adventure through the exciting world of New Orleans in a family-oriented video game", featuring events from the film and challenges for Princess Tiana.

Reception
Box office
On its limited day release, the film grossed $263,890 at two theaters and grossed $786,190 its opening weekend. On its opening day in wide release, the film grossed $7,020,000 at 3,434 theaters. It went on to gross $24,208,916 over the opening weekend averaging $7,050 per theater, ranking at #1 for the weekend, and making it the highest-grossing start to date for an animated movie in December, a record previously held by Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The film went on to gross $104,400,899 (in the United States and Canada) and $267,045,765 (worldwide), making it a box office success, and became the fifth highest grossing animated film of 2009. While the film did out-gross Disney's more recent hand-drawn films such as The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and Home on the Range, it was less auspicious than the animated films from Walt Disney Animation Studios' 1990s heyday. Disney animator Tom Sito compared the film's box office performance to that of The Great Mouse Detective (1986), which was a step up from the theatrical run of the 1985 box office bomb The Black Cauldron.
Critical response
The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief received largely positive reviews from critics, praising the animation, characters, music, themes and comparing the voice of Walt Disney's most beloved fairy as she speaks. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 85% based on 241 reviews with an average rating of 7.4/10, giving it "Certified Fresh" status. The website's general consensus reads, "Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief is a sweet, simple story which offers the warmth of traditional Disney animation to make this occasionally lightweight fairy-tale, cartoon, and fantasy update a lively and captivating confection for the holidays." Metacritic gave the film a score of 73/100 based on 29 reviews. Audience surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade A rating.
Rating
The film was rated G: "General Audiences-All Ages Admitted." by the Motion Picture Association of America.
This is a film which contains nothing in theme, language, nudity and sex, violence, etc. which would, in the view of the Rating Board, be offensive to parents whose younger children view the film. The G rating is not a "certificate of approval," nor does it signify a children's film. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated films. The violence is at a minimum. Nudity and sex scenes are not present; nor is there any drug use content.

January 26, 2010 – Soon to gross $100 million domestically, The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief leaps to home video on March 16th on its single-disc DVD, a 2-disc Blu-ray, and a 4-disc Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy combo.
March 11, 2010 – We take a look at The Princess and the Frog & Tinker Bell's Springtime Belief, the Disney Fairies and Looney Tunes franchise's first CGI hit. From the film's writers and directors whose past Disney credits include The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and Treasure Planet, Disney's 49th animated feature returns the studio to the traditional hand-drawn methods they're best known for in this musical fairy tale set in 1920s New Orleans. It reveals Tinker Bell's (voiced by Mae Whitman) origins, as she is born in the magical world of Pixie Hollow, sentenced to a life of tinkering, and eager to aspire to more. Yes, she talks, and so do her ethnically diverse fairy friends, Silvermist, Rosetta, Iridessa, and Fawn. A waitress kisses a frog claiming to be a prince only to find herself likewise transformed into an amphibian. Michael Jordan was sent into the animated world to help the Looney Tunes avoid losing a basketball game that would send them working in a theme park. This acclaimed musical comedy adventure hit stores next week. We take a look at the Blu-ray + DVD.
