The Princess and the Frog
Big Daddy is first seen at the beginning of the film after Eudora (Tiana's mother) reads the story of The Frog Prince. As he says evenin' to Eudora Charlotte shows off her new dress to him. He tells her "Why I'd expect nothin' less from the finnest seamstress in New Orleans" she tells him she wants "that dress" (as she points to it) and pulls on his bread begging "please please please!". He asks Eudora if she can wipe somethin' up like that and tells him "anything for my best customer". As Tiana and Eudora leave, Big Daddy tells Charlotte, "Alright, now, Princess, you're gettin' that dress, but that's IT. No more Mr. Pushover! Now, who wants a puppy?" and shows her a puppy and she says "I do! I do!"

Later while Tiana is planning to open her restaurant, Big Daddy starts hosting a masquerade ball for Mardi Gras. He has invited Naveen to stay at his home as an honored guest. Charlotte hires Tiana to make beignets for the ball, which gives her enough money to finally buy an old sugar mill that she wants to convert into her restaurant. At the end of the movie he's seen with Charlotte in Tiana's restaurant.
