The point I was hoping to make is that there's a bit of a difference between the existence where your survival is a matter of other people's willingness to pay for your performances, and being royalty with a trust fund who can perform purely because you enjoy it. If the point of the film was to teach Naveen a lesson about the value of effort, then let him feel the despair of his life and personal comfort being dependent on the heavy physical labour that was the lot of those who didn't have money to pursue their "talents and skillset". Let him face starvation and homelessness, let him toil with the sharecroppers, let him suffer something more than falling under a magical spell that is solved by getting the right girl to kiss him.

Of course, that wasn't the point of the film, and "you can do it if you just try!" is a valuable enough lesson for 21st century children in the west. Just... don't claim that Naveen playing in Tiana's house band is "work". Not when he's clearly back in his family's good graces and probably still the first in line to the throne. I'm a hobbyist who pay a bloody membership fee in an amateur orchestra, with several friends struggling with making a living as pros. Their uncertain income and their day jobs and their being incapable of planning life more than a month ahead is an admirable dedication to their art. It is also a life that is pretty far removed from Naveen's, at any point in the film.
