New project
The Princess and the Frog was released in 2009 and marked as Disney’s final traditionally hand-drawn animated feature. There have been speculations that a live action film based on Princess Tiana is in the making, featuring Domingo.
The film won’t be an original adaptation but rather a spin off just based on the character to add on to the list of Tangled, Lilo & Stitch 2, and Gaston, a spin-off connected to Beauty and the Beast. The film follows Tiana, a New Orleans waitress who dreams of opening her own restaurant. Her life changes after she meets Prince Naveen, who has been transformed into a frog due to a curse. The story continues to be iconic.
