50 free The Princess and the Frog trivia questions with answers. The Princess and the Frog gave Disney its first African American princess and its last great burst of hand-drawn animation, and it has only grown in affection since 2009. This quiz covers the whole film: the plot from the masquerade ball to the bayou wedding, the characters (Tiana, Naveen, Charlotte, Big Daddy, Louis, Ray, Mama Odie and the Shadow Man), the voice cast, and Randy Newman's songs. It also goes behind the scenes: why the heroine's name and job were changed, which real New Orleans restaurateur inspired Tiana, why the release moved off Christmas Day, what Ed Catmull later called a 'stupid pill', and how the film became Tiana's Bayou Adventure at the Disney parks. Questions run from easy ones for kids who know every song to hard production trivia for animation fans. Every answer has been checked against the Wikipedia articles on the film, on Tiana and on the ride, and each question shows its source. Good for a family movie night, a Disney trivia round, or a bayou-themed party.
