every time I see discussion of Disney's wish again, I go watch the Princess and the Frog, because that movie hit the all nuance on the subject of wishes right on the dot.
seeing the subject fumbled honestly made me appreciate TPATF so much more over this year. I really took it's writing for grant-it, but now that I see the ways they could have gotten it wrong I am amazed how right they got it!
I don't even really need a Wish rewrite when I have this movie.
I know! I agree! In my own efforts to work out "what they should've done" with Wish, I kept running into a wall called "The Princess and the Frog already did that."
I said so in that one post about how anti-Disney Wish is, so I won't go into it here. But everybody should watch The Princess and the Frog again.

As one could guess, the following days haven't been good. Lottie is drepressed and everything indicates Naveen left for good (suspicious. hm.). Tiana is beyond furious and hurt, but for now she's trying to focus on supporting her friend. She needs her the most.
That said, let's leave the girls alone for a bit. They need time to get back on their feet :')

Watching Princess and the Frog again and there is no way it didn't serve Vivzie as an inspiration for Alastor. It reminds me so much of him, specially when Tiana's father talks about how good food reunite people regardless of their origin, raise their mood and draws them a smile on their face. Tiana's mother reminds me of Alastor's mother's headcanons, and of course there is Dr. Facilier, a black voodooist deal maker soul dealer man from Louisiana/New Orleans in the 20's with a shadow alter ago.
Maybe is just coincidence because after all, it's normal that both have many things in common due to the aesthetic of that period of time and place. However, I can't watch the movie without imagining Alastor walking around in the background with his mother holding his arm, while reading a newspaper sitting in a cafe or his voice sounding through a radio in a bar.
Also, we have Keth David hired to play Husker (owned by Alastor and a gambler which is similar to Facilier's tarot aesthetic) who's Facilier VA. Coincidence? I doubt it 🤨
I love this movie so much, it isn't the typical movie where the princess gets the prince charming and live happily after. Lottie is the white, rich, spoiled girl who wants to marry Prince Naveen. Instead, he ends with the poor black hard working woman who never believed in fairy tales and didn't want to kiss a frog regardless of the result. In the story Tiana also transforms into a frog, not just the prince, and they fall in love because of their personalities regardless of the looks and the difference of social classes. Their dynamic is kind of a slow burn and not love at first sight for what I say THANK YOU DISNEY. Finally we have a princess with a mom and a functional family lol, with more developed dreams. The best thing is that Lottie, regardless of her usual spoiled privileged traits, is a good friend, she is a good person and is happy that her best friend found love and gave up on her dreams for Tiana, knowing she would get another chance in the future while Tiana deserved to have what she got.
We also have the food represented in the film, the outfits, the music, the backgrounds... Everything is so pretty and even if I have NOTHING to do with New Orleans or that period of time, it makes me feel nostalgic for no reason at all. This is one of my favourites Disney movies and it needs to be more appreciated. Period.
