Disney+ Drops “Tiana” in Shift Away from Longform Content

Disney fans were excited when Disney+ announced a continuation of the beloved film “The Princess and the Frog” featuring Princess Tiana. However, it seems like those plans have been scrapped by Walt Disney Animation Studios.

According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter, the series called “Tiana” will no longer be moving forward. Despite efforts to make the show a reality, including changes to the creative team, it seems that production costs were a significant hurdle to overcome.

But don’t worry, Disney isn’t leaving Princess Tiana behind completely. While the long-form series won’t be happening, the studio is working on a short-form special inspired by the 2009 film. So, there’s still something to look forward to for fans of the animated classic.

In addition to the news about “Tiana,” it seems that Disney Animation Studios is shifting away from long-form content for Disney+. This follows a trend in the industry, with companies like Pixar also focusing less on episodic content for streaming platforms.

For those who still want to immerse themselves in the world of “The Princess and the Frog,” Disneyland and Magic Kingdom debuted an attraction called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure last year. It’s a great way to experience the magic of the film in a whole new way.

So, while the “Tiana” series may not be happening, there are still plenty of exciting things on the horizon from Disney Animation Studios. With projects like “Zootopia 2” and “Frozen 3” in the works, there’s sure to be more magic and adventure coming to screens near you.
