At some point, James was possibly killed in action (K.I.A.) during the war, so he probably never got to see Tiana get her restaurant. As shown briefly in the film, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (given for extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force).
What happened to Tiana dad in Princess and the Frog?
Set in the Roaring Twenties in New Orleans, Tiana is completely devoted to opening her own restaurant, a dream she shared with her late father, who died in World War I. She works two waitress jobs every day and night to earn money to make this dream a reality, leaving her no time for a social life.
What happened to Charlotte's mom in Princess and the Frog?
Her mother is not shown or mentioned in the movie, which may mean she passed away. She and Tiana both slapped Naveen with a book when he introduced himself as a frog. As a kid, Charlotte owned a pet white kitten named Marcel, but as an adult, she owned a Basset hound named Stella.
We are graced with the very first food moment four minutes into The Princess and the Frog when Tiana is making gumbo with her dad. The scene starts with a close-up of the gumbo pot on the stove and we then cut to a shot of Tiana and her dad, James, at the stove with the pot of gumbo in between them.
Eudora is a fictional female character created by Walt Disney. She is Tiana's mother and a widow of James, she lived in New Orleans. She also work as a seamstress and for her loyal customer Big Daddy Labouf.
His skin is brown, but he isn't African-American. "A lot of moms had issues with that," Coleman said. "It felt like it was a slap in the face to black men." Coleman asked a Disney executive if Prince Naveen was Creole and was told that his background was made up; he's whatever ethnicity they have in fictional Maldonia.
Tiana and Naveen marry and turn back into humans as Tiana is now a princess by marrying Naveen and use the money Tiana's saved to open the restaurant (with a little intimidation help from Louis). The restaurant is a big success with people of all around attending, just as Tiana dreamed.
The Fenner Brothers told Tiana she was "outbid" by someone, but considering it's unlikely that someone would bid on the mill in the same week Tiana placed her bid after twenty years of it being untouched, it is possible the Brothers just made that up in an attempt to avoid selling it to her.
Mama Odie is a supporting character in Disney's 2009 animated feature film, The Princess and the Frog. She's a blind, 197-year-old voodoo priestess who resides deep in the swamps of Louisiana.
Odie is Queen of the Bayou. which practically makes her royalty. it is said that Mama Odie is married to her snake Juju. as we see her being very affectionate with him.
Facilier would have been Mama Odie's son, who followed the path of the dark arts, unlike his mother. In this same script, there was to be a showdown between the two of them, which would have converged into a major battle during the Mardi Gras festivities.
Baron Samedi appears in Zombi Child, portrayed by Nehémy Pierre-Dahomey. The Disney villain character Dr. Facilier in the 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog is inspired by Baron Samedi with how he dresses.
Princess Tiana is largely inspired by New Orleans chef Leah Chase, and her family has been actively involved in the creative process with Disney as the company expands Tiana's presence in the parks.
At Walt Disney World, Facilier is revived from the dead (or rather, unsealed from the Voodoo Realm) by Hades and is recruited to find the crystal of the Magic Kingdom. Facilier also decides to exact revenge on Tiana for his demise and take over Frontierland.
She asks if they want candy. when they decline, she tells them that the candy would turn them into human. She apparently already knows Tiana and Naveen's desire to become human again but knows that they need something much more. She tries to tell them that during her gospel number, “Dig a Little Deeper”.
Bayou - A pony given to her by Naveen's parents. Birdadette - A parakeet. Lily - A cat found by outside of Tiana's Restaurant. Olive - A Boston Terrier puppy adopted by Tiana.
Still mad at him, Tiana only commands Naveen to find his own tree, but when the alligators spot Naveen and approach him, ready to eat him, he fearfully and hastily promises to grant Tiana her restaurant once he marries Charlotte in exchange for helping him escape the swamp, which she agrees to and pulls him into the ...
Eventually, Tiana fell in love with Prince Naveen and married him where Eudora accepted her relationship with the prince and looked happy to see Tiana had found someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

Why did Prince Naveen turn into a frog? Listen to “Friends on the Other Side” from the movie, it explains it pretty well. Basically, he tried to make a deal with an evil voodoo man. The man promised “green” in his future (implying money) and then turned him into a frog.
