Anika Noni Rose Expresses Disappointment Over Disney+ Cancelling ‘Tiana’

Anika Noni Rose, known for voicing Tiana in “The Princess and the Frog,” recently shared her disappointment about the cancellation of the Disney+ series “Tiana.” In an Instagram post, she expressed her sadness about Tiana’s story coming to an end as a series. Instead, fans can look forward to a one-off animated special.

Rose wanted to speak directly to her fans and followers, sharing her thoughts on the series and the hard work that went into it by everyone involved, including the director, writer, editors, and music team. Despite the cancellation, she hopes that fans will still tune in to the upcoming special event and show their love and support for Tiana’s character.

As someone deeply connected to Tiana, having voiced her in the original movie, appeared in other Disney projects, and even written a Tiana-based children’s book, Rose values the character deeply. She encouraged fans to make their desire for more Tiana content known by supporting the upcoming special.

The decision to cancel the series was part of a shift away from long-form content by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Instead, they will focus on shorter content, like the special event replacing the “Tiana” series. Despite the disappointment, Rose and the creative team are committed to bringing beautiful content to viewers and fans.

While the cancellation was unexpected, Rose remains positive and hopeful that fans will continue to support Tiana’s character and embrace the upcoming special. As work continues to bring more content to audiences, Rose appreciates the loyalty and love fans have shown for Tiana and “The Princess and the Frog.”
