The Frog Princess
In response to these early criticisms, the film's title was changed in May 2007 from "The Frog Princess" to "The Princess and the Frog". The name "Maddy" was changed to "Tiana", and the character's occupation was altered from chambermaid to waitress. Talk show host Oprah Winfrey was hired as a technical consultant for the film, leading to her taking a voice-acting role in the film as Tiana's mother, Eudora.
