Didn't she? She watched the entire scene with the prince, I assumed she heard him say "she had the most beautiful voice" and that was why she decided Ariel's voice would be the payment, since it was the one thing he remembered about her. It would have been really risky to not know if Eric could identify Ariel otherwise, since "instant true love" was a legitimate thing. One kiss on that beach with the girl he knew had rescued him that he'd been pining after ever since...

I disagree. No one had the plan she would marry the prince.

I guess we just disagree on this then.

She did make mistakes by being too focused on work.

Which brings us back to my entire original position: That those so-called mistakes lacked the necessary impact for an Aesop lesson. It just wasn't enough to convince me Tiana was working too hard.

she has to be American so that her story is more in line with black Americans, as opposed to being an exotic African princess

I agree with everything but this. The only other American princess Disney ever had was Pocahontas, there was no reason to make Tiana American. That's one pitfall Disney made up all on their own.

I guess so, now that I think about it. I guess I took this more as "HA! This'll make it impossible for him to love her!" rather than "This will come in handy later. :D"

I agree that it wasn't enough, but now we're talking in terms of "was it effective?" not "did it exist?" It's an important distinction.

I agree with everything but this. The only other American princess Disney ever had was Pocahontas, there was no reason to make Tiana American.

I can understand this, but I still feel like there could have been a lot of potential issues of her being an African princess rather than a black princess.
