@kaylatheshow: The Princess and The Frog has this fan theory that Big Daddy LaBouff bought Tiana the restaurant. And here is why I think that theory doesn’t work. #disney #film #disneyprincess #BlackHistory #princesstiana
I don’t think he bought it for her, but he sure as heII spent a fortune at the restaurants she worked at

I firmly believe that Big Daddy has been quietly supporting their family for decades, by paying Tiana's mother generously for her work and making sure she is never OUT of work. Tiana works hard to save money for her restaurant, but she isn't working two jobs just to keep herself and her mother above water. She is ABLE to save up because Big Daddy made sure there would always be food on their table, by treating her mother with respect and paying her well. That's what I think.

Also, Tiana didn’t want help, Lottie had offered but Tiana wanted to work hard

Big Daddy also knew that I think. He cared for his daughter's best friend in the way he knew she wanted.

This is why I like the theory of Lottie knowing Tiana is close to her goal buying the food for the party from Tiana to trying to help out, because Tiana would only accept the money as a payment for a service (this would also explain the motivation for going to her workplace, which is probably not really a convenient place for Lottie and her dad to go)

I am of the belief that he would’ve helped without a second thought if she’d asked but it’s not something that’s crossed his mind really. Like he clearly loves and respects Tiana (in one of the storybooks he walked her down the aisle for her wedding) so he’d be more than happy to help but it’s not something that really crossed his mind

I believe the fan theory that Lottie and her dad went to the restaurant Tiana worked at a lot always on her shifts so she’d have more in tips and could actually have money to save up to buy the restaurant herself

I believe there was no other bidder, they just lied to her to tell her no.

they both respected tiana’s work ethic while supporting her. sure, he COULD have, but she never would have accepted it or felt she earned it. but he basically ended up indirectly buying it with how much he spent on her catering

I lowkey also think that Lottie hired Tiana to make the dessert for the masquerade because she knew that if she just invited Tiana she wouldn’t go (as seen when she says no to go dancing) by hiring her she knows Tiana will come and also have fun

He openly walked her down at her wedding. Yeah, he has plans to keep her safe.

The whole point of Tiana's story is that hard work (most of the times) can lead to accomplish your dreams.

I think he wanted to buy it for her, but he saw that she wanted to work for it on her own.

they supported her by giving her work because they knew she was proud and would want to earn every penny.

I fully believe that Tiana would NOT accept it even if he had offered it to her, she wanted that restaurant to be her own personal achievement that she could look at and say "Yes, I did all of that myself"

Toria Ferland :
I think big daddy offered at least once and Tiana said no she wanted earn her own way and so he respected that and supported her by eating at the restaurants she worked.

Brandon Tsosie :
him and his daughter planned to help that is ehy they paid her the correct amount to get it. they kept track of how much she made so when they had a moment to give her the money while she was working to her values and to help her. they left right after giving the money and not after finishing their food.

I believe that he respected her enough to let her work for it while also spending money where she worked and tipping generously.

There’s also the possibility he already asked before the events of the movie, but she said no, and he respected that. He knew Tiana had the drive, and the will to make her own dreams come true.

I think he just knew Tina wanted to do rhis herself and was respecting that

There was no other bidder. They didn’t want to sell her the building.

kingkiell Nickiell :
would he have? yes. but it is very very clear tiana would be offended if offered such a charity since we are shown shes a woman of hard work and integrity. thus they took a different approach. buying her food in mass, 'lending' her dress to tiana that coincidentally perfectly future tiana and didnt match lottie at all. i personally believe he also helps drum up business at the end. they helped in a way that shows they cared for tiana rather than desired to look good.

I think he 100% would have but knew she wanted to EARN it. He did what he could to help her earn it.

Bakugo_lover :
I believe that he did try to buy it for her but Tina didn’t let him so instead he made sure to eat at the restaurants she worked at to help support her
