Don't let the 1,523-mile distance from New Orleans fool ya — Phoenix loves Mardi Gras. And rightfully so ... Now, throw these songs on the speaker, grab your beads and a couple beverages ...

Mardi Gras comes to a close on Tuesday night, and soon, those who celebrate will exclaim “Laissez les bons temps rouler,” or “Let the good times roll” for the last time this Carnival season.

From animated classics to crime dramas, Mardi Gras has left its mark on the screen. One of the most beloved cinematic portrayals of Mardi Gras comes from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog (2009).
