Content is minimal and limited to suggestive sight gags, such as a briefly seen bloomers and a mushroom shape forming between a frog's legs, which is played for crude humor. Characters engage in light romantic flirting and kissing.

Violence is mostly stylized, cartoonish action, including brief skirmishes with clubs and a shotgun firing at a character's pants. The violence is non-graphic and fits the traditional Disney slapstick mold, with characters suffering no lasting consequences.

None. The dialogue is clean and free of profanity.

There are brief, background appearances of alcohol at parties and on a riverboat. One character has a comical, cartoonish drunk moment that is treated as a sight gag.

The film explores themes of loss and the consequences of dealing with dark magic. There is a poignant, non-graphic death scene involving a beloved character that may be emotionally difficult for younger children.

The Princess and the Frog runs 98 minutes, directed by Ron Clements, John Musker, released in 2009.
