If The Princess and the Frog hit the spot, these will too

A sharp-witted heroine, a transformed prince and love that breaks the spell
The difference: Grander and more gothic — you trade New Orleans jazz for a candlelit castle

Classic fairy-tale magic where a kiss carries the whole curse
The difference: The princess barely drives her own story — it's a 1959 heroine

A musical folk tale steeped in one culture's own myth and color
The difference: Busier 3D style — it lacks the hand-drawn warmth

A heroine who scrubs and dreams while magic waits to reward her
The difference: Gentler and thinner — Cinderella wishes where Tiana works

A creature yearning to be human, drawn with handmade wonder
The difference: Meandering Miyazaki dream logic — no villain, no showstoppers

A defiant dreamer bargaining with dark magic for a different life
The difference: A long live-action remake — polish over hand-drawn charm

A painterly Disney heroine torn between duty and her own path
The difference: Solemn and historically fraught — the fun is largely absent

A live-action fairy tale about grace and grit outlasting cruelty
The difference: Earnest and unmusical — nobody bursts into song

A musical villain-revenge romp in the classic Disney register
The difference: A cheap direct-to-video sequel — the songs and animation sag

Whimsical and dreamlike in the same breath
The difference: Goes its own way on the romance

Both are working the same pair: villain, musical

Both land warmth and comfort at once
