A Disney Princess From NOLA...

And she's BLACK! The new Disney fairy tale, "The Frog Princess" is set to debut in 2009. Rumor has it that Alicia Keys wants the role of the princess really bad.

According to eurweb: 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."
