Years later, Tiana is a waitress and works tirelessly, saving every penny, to fulfill her dream for the memory of her father. One day she meets the arrogant Prince Naveen, who has been transformed into a toad by a scheming voodoo wizard, who asks her to kiss him to break the spell in exchange for whatever she asks of him. Tiana kisses him but instead of turning Naveen into a human, she ends up turning into a toad too. Now, with the help of a trumpet-playing crocodile, a lovesick firefly, and a blind old woman, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfill their dreams.
