New Orleans the Site of New Disney Film
Thursday March 8 4:59 PM ET
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."

Wow, I'm interested to see this. I taught a session at a Diversity Conference regarding Disney, diversity in movies, and images portrayed to all the little girls in the world.
