Maybe your little one is like that too? If so, then you are at the right place because we have one amazing copy to giveaway to one IE Mommy family member!

So take a moment and check out some of these “FUN FACTS” regarding our latest Princess and then go ENTER!

• FROG FUN — Animators and visual development artists invited a host of real frogs into the studio in order to truly appreciate what makes frogs frogs.

• DISNEY’S NINTH PRINCESS – Disney’s newest princess, Tiana, joins ranks with Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan. The Princess and the Frog is Disney’s first princess film since Mulan, which was released in June 1998
• BLOWING HIS OWN HORN – Terrence Blanchard, who is a native New Orleans jazz legend and trumpet player, played all of alligator Louis’ trumpet parts in the film.  He also voiced the role of Earl the bandleader in the riverboat band.
• PICTURE THIS — Filmmakers took more than 50,000 photos of local iconic images to use as reference and inspiration including places like the buildings, restaurants and the garden district.
• ANIMAL BEHAVIOR — Directors John Musker and Ron Clements visited the New Orleans Audubon Zoo for inspiration. They saw indigenous alligators, which inspired the film’s trumpet playing alligator, and spoon-billed birds, which influenced the birds in Mama Odie’s gospel song “Dig A Little Deeper.”
• NOW HEAR THIS — Sound designer Oden Benitez went to Jackson Square in New Orleans to record the sounds of the church bell and streetcar.
• LEGENDS — One of the most thrilling trips to New Orleans for directors Ron Clements and John Musker was when they recorded Dr. John and Randy Newman at the local recording studio The Music Shed (which looked like a corrugated steel shed). The Gospel Choir was also recorded in the studio, where artists such as Robert Plant, Fats Domino and Norah Jones have all recorded. Both Dr. John and Newman have strong connections to New Orleans.
• INDEPTH RESEARCH — Filmmakers took the Nanchez Riverboat tour to ensure the authenticity of the riverboat scenes. They also took a private tour of the streetcar system in New Orleans.
