Talk:Ma Belle Evangeline/@comment-10327005-20170808031254

Many may find this song sweet, but I sense some connections here. This whole scene turned out to be a plot twist, because Ray just HAPPENED to refer to the Evening Star as a firefly named Evangeline, and the frogs MAGICALLY refered to their wishmaker as such for the rest of the film, for Ray's sake, and here are the connections in a nutshell:

The film had the following referrences to some past Disney films,

Pinocchio, with the wishing star theory,

The Lion King, with the firefly-in-big-bluish-black-thing and kings-of-the-past theories.

Peter Pan, with the second-star-to-the-right theory.

That twist here wasn't quite a coincidence, or a destiny, but a stepping stone.
