Yeah... and she's the first African American Princess too. It's set in 1920's New Orleans.
The current cast is:
Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana (originally her name was Maddy)
Keith David (Woohoo!) as Dr. Facilier, the villian (he's a Voodoo magician/fortune teller)
Jennifer Cody as Charlotte La Bouff - An 18-year-old spoiled, southern debutante and diva
Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie - A 200-year-old Voodoo priestess/fairy Godmother
Ritchie Montgomery as Lawrence - Prince Naveen's pompous valet
Russell Grant Wood as Big Daddy La Bouff - Wealthy, Southern plantation landowner and father of Charlotte La Bouff.
Angela Bassett as Eudora - Tiana's mother. In her fifties. Used to be Charlotte's nurse maid.
No actors known for:
Ray - A lovesick Cajun firefly.
Louis - A 20-40 year old Jazz singer alligator. Comic, manic, high-strung.
Prince Naveen - A gregarious, fun-loving Prince of the fictional nation of Maldakesh, in his early twenties. A young Cary Grant type.
George - The La Bouff family's cook.
Little Arila - Tiana's little sister. She's little, but very smart. (altho she may be cut out of the film)
John Goodman is also cast but his character is unknown. Im thinking he's George or Louis.
Randy Newman's doing the music
