Disney’s gone and done it! Walt Disney has announced their first black princess in the animated film “The Frog Princess” which will be set in New Orleans. The film is described as, “an American fairy tale,” according to chief creative officer for Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, John Lasseter.

The film is to be released in 2009.

"The film's New Orleans setting and strong princess character give the film lots of excitement and texture," Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook said. The movie will be scored by Randy Newman, who also wrote the music for Disney's "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "Cars." Newman performed a song from the score for the shareholders. John Musker and Ron Clements, who co-directed "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," and "Hercules" will co-direct the movie. The pair also wrote the story for the film. Disney said its new animated princess -- Maddy -- will be added to its collection of animated princesses used at the company's theme parks and on consumer products. (cnn)
