Everyone has a fairy tale

Think about yourself watching cartoons at a very old age. I have heard the fairy tale Frog Prince countless times when I was a child... Just like what the story said, as I thought when I was a child, if I can marry a prince and be his princess, I must be the happiest... Fortunately, I grow up day by day, There is never a free lunch in the big family of society. It doesn't mean that you kiss a frog and you will become a prince. You must be able to experience all kinds of hardships together, experience trials and the deep affection you have for each other to achieve positive results... just like this one As the film describes... Fairy tales are always fairy tales... Wishing for the stars also requires one's own efforts to achieve. I think everyone has a fairy tale and a beautiful daydream. It's not about whether it can be realized or not. You just need to have a vision for it and then slowly move towards it. You must do your best, keep going until the end You will discover what you need most and what is most important. Like Lei Po said at the end of the film, does kissing a princess frog really make him a prince?

The Princess and the Frog quotes
-
Tiana: [while standing on the balcony, she sees a wishing star; sighs] I can't believe that I'm doing this.
[looks up]
Tiana: lease... Please... Please.
[looks down and sees a frog sitting on the balcony]
Tiana: Oh, very funny. So, what now? I reckon you want a kiss?
Prince Naveen: Kissing would be nice, yes?
[Tiana screams and backs into Charlotte's room]
Prince Naveen: 'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
[sees Tiana about to launch stuffed animals at him]
Prince Naveen: Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
[Tiana starts throwing the stuffed animals at him]
Prince Naveen: You know, you have a very strong arm, Princess. Wait, please! Put the monkey down.
Tiana: [throws a stuffed monkey at him and lifts up a book] Stay back, or I'll... I'll...
Prince Naveen: Please, please.
[hops ontop of a table]
Prince Naveen: , allow me to introduce myself: I am Prince Naveen
[Tiana squashes him]
Prince Naveen: ... of Maldonia.
Tiana: A prince? But I didn't wish for any... Hold on, if you're the prince, then WHO was that waltzing with Lotte on the dance floor?
Prince Naveen: The only thing I know, is that one minute I am a prince, charming and handsome, cutting-a-rug, and the next thing I know
[trips over his feet]
Prince Naveen: ... I am tripping over these.
[points to his feet and Tiana lifts the book again]
Prince Naveen: Wait, wait.
[catches sight of the book's title]
Prince Naveen: Wait a moment, I know this story! The Froggie Printo!
Tiana: [hands the book to Naveen] The Frog Prince?
Prince Naveen: Yes, my mother had the servants read this to me every night.
[begins to flip back and forth between the last two pages of the book]
Prince Naveen: Yes, yes, this is exactly the answer! You must kiss me!
Tiana: Excuse me?
Prince Naveen: You will enjoy it, I guarantee. All women enjoy the kiss of Prince Naveen. Come, we pucker.
[his throat bulges out and then returns to normal]
Prince Naveen: That's new.
Tiana: Look, I'm sorry. I'd really like to help you, but I DO NOT kiss frogs.
Prince Naveen: But on the balcony, you ask me.
Tiana: I didn't expect you to answer!
Prince Naveen: Oh, but you must kiss me. Look, besides being unbelievably handsome, I come from a fabulously wealthy family. Surely, I can offer you some reward or a wish that I could grant, perhaps?
Tiana: [reluctantly] Just one kiss?
Prince Naveen: Just one. Unless you beg for more.
[licks lips; they lean in to kiss, but Tiana flips at the last second, Naveen sighs]
Tiana: All right, all right. Get it together, Tiana.
[she turns around quickly and kisses Naveen, who lets out a disappointed sigh, upon realizing that he is still a frog, then looks down and gasps in horror and epeaks Maldonian]
Tiana: [gazes up at the table] Well, you don't look any different. But how did you get way up there? And how did I get way down here, in all this...
[gazes up at the table]
Tiana: Well, you don't look any different. But how did you get way up there? And how did I get way down here, in all this...
[sees her hands are webbed. She looks in the mirror, sees she is a frog, and screams]
-
Tiana: Where are you taking me?
Prince Naveen: Oh, I just... wanted to show you a little something to celebrate our last night together as frogs.
[tugs her up and she sees his set-up of a table and wine bottle]
Tiana: Oh... All my years. No one's ever done anything like this for me.
[glances at Naveen and sees he is wearing a butterfly as a bowtie]
Prince Naveen: Oh, heh, i - it is too much, isn't it? Um...
[clears throat]
Prince Naveen: Thank you, Bow.
Bow: I thought it was a nice touch.
[flies away]
Bow: Pretend you did not see that.
[leads Tiana to the table]
Bow: Please, please sit down.
[sets a platter in front of her]
Tiana: What's this?
Prince Naveen: [lifts the lid and shows food] Ta-da!
Tiana: You minced!
Prince Naveen: I did!
[Tiana giggles]
Prince Naveen: You have had quite an influence on me. Which is amazing because I have dated thousands of women and -
[cuts himself off in panic]
Prince Naveen: No, like two, three... just other women! A-and anyway, you could not be more different! You know, you are - you are practically, heh, one of the guys!
[Tiana looks shocked]
Prince Naveen: No, no, no! You are not a guy! Let me begin again! Uh...
[leans on the table and he slips to the floor, the food spilling on him]
Prince Naveen: Ha... I am not myself tonight. Tiana!
[stands up]
Prince Naveen: Sorry, that was loud.
[Tiana laughs]
Prince Naveen: This is a disaster.
Tiana: [laughs] No, it's cute.
[Naveen chuckles]
