I just noticed. in the scene with tiana and carlotta as kids,
when the camera pans the background, look at the shelfs in lottys room, one shelf is all dIsney princess dolls on it.
Princess and the Frog Stuff
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Princess and the Frog Stuff
There are a lot of references to other Disney movies in Princess and the Frog...
Carpet from Aladdin. Nods to Ariel, the dolls and dresses. Few other things that I can't remember at the moment.

Re: Princess and the Frog Stuff
In the final scene at Tiana's new restaurant, Lou is playing in a band called the Firefly Five Plus Lou. It is a tribute to the Firehouse Five Plus Two-which had members of the famed Nine Old Men animators. In fact, very briefly, you can see who's playing at the piano. It's Frank Thomas, who played the piano in the band.

And on that note, I just remembered this;darph nader wrote:Inside joke. Why should Pixar have all the fun.
The address on Bolt's collar is the address of Disney Animation Studios.
Of course, films like Bolt and The Princess to the Frog have something on common with Pixar films; John Lasseter is the executive producer of them!

Re: Princess and the Frog Stuff
"A113" is in nearly all the Disney/Pixar cartoons today. Does anyone know if it's in non Disney/Pixar cartoons as lots of non-Disney animators and artists went to Cal Arts?

Re: Princess and the Frog Stuff
I knew it was referenced in Iron Giant...
Apparently, it has quite a following:

Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.
