Disney's First Black Princess
New Orleans the Site of New Disney Film
Thursday March 8 4:59 PM ET
Any thoughts on Disney's First Black Princess?
The Walt Disney Co. has started production on an animated musical fairy tale called " The Frog Princess," which will be set in New Orleans and feature the Walt Disney Studio's first black princess.
The company unveiled the plans Thursday at its annual shareholders' meeting in New Orleans.
John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Disney and the Disney-owned unit Pixar Animation Studios, said the movie would return to the classic hand-drawn animation process, instead of using computer animation that has become the industry standard. He called the film "an American fairy tale."
Disney said its new animated Princess Maddy (picture below) will be added to its collection of animated princesses used at the company's theme parks and on consumer products.
The film is set for release in 2009.
