Plot hole: When Charlotte kissed Naveen at the end, she should've turned into a frog as well because she was no longer a princess.
The Princess and the Frog (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John Musker, Ron Clements
Starring: Keith David, Anika Noni Rose, Oprah Winfrey, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley
Naveen is captured by the Shadow Man and his blood is extracted into a voodoo amulet. Ray tries to stop him, but gets squashed in the process. Tiana gets the amulet and smashes it. Without the amulet, the Shadow Man has nothing to pay back the Shadow Demons with and they drag him to hell. Naveen finds Tiana's friend Charlotte, who is a princess, and tries to get her to kiss him before midnight to break the spell (the spell can only be broken when Naveen kisses a princess). Tiana arrives and tells Naveen not to do it because she loves him. Charlotte then kisses Naveen so he and Tiana can be together, but it's too late - it's after midnight, so they are stuck as frogs. Naveen and Tiana are married and as they kiss, they are turned into humans (by marrying Naveen, Tiana is now a princess and the spell is broken). With Naveen's help, Tiana finally opens her restaurant, like she always wanted.

Suggested correction: When ordinary people kiss a frog, they don't transform into anything. (Perhaps they die from infection after a few days.) Charlotte was just an ordinary person. Tiana was chosen. She wished upon the star. Naveen and the consequences of kissing Naveen were a result of Tiana's wish.
Suggested correction: How? She was no longer a princess.
Tiana turned into a frog because she kissed Naveen without being a princess, so Charlotte should have, too.
Tiana broke the talisman that the voodoo man had, thus breaking any more frog-turning spell. I know Mama Odie said that Naveen and Tiana broke the spell when they got married, but Dr. Facilier was still responsible for the spell in the first place, and he died, so there's that.
Ray: Don't make me light my butt!
Trivia: One of the Mardi Gras parade floats is inspired by The Little Mermaid's King Triton's throne. Jafar from Aladdin is on another float. (01:13:55)
Question: When Tiana and Naveen get married in the Bayou they become human and appear in a church. What I want to know is did they physically leave the Bayou (e.g exit by boat ride), then arrange wedding plans, or did they literally magically appear in the church and everyone magically appeared at the wedding?
Answer: They physically left. Just because we didn't see it happen doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's a montage of their activities after they returned to human form.
I thought as much, but it would have been even better to see a montage of them physically leaving the bayou and planning their church wedding.
