Disney+ has been an excellent place for lots of the studio’s prime franchises to develop, as has been the case with each Marvel and Star Wars. Nevertheless, what has labored for live-action initiatives hasn’t been fairly as profitable in animation. Pixar simply launched the long-gestatingWin or Lose, which as been properly acquired. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ two largest makes an attempt to show its profitable animated movies into long-form sequence have now each ended with out the sequence popping out. A deliberate Moana sequence turned a theatrical sequel. And, now, the Tiana present that may have adopted up The Princess and the Frog won’t be so fortunate.
Tiana, an animated sequence centered across the Disney Princess from The Princess and the Frog, was initially introduced greater than 4 years in the past, Now, THR confirms that the present has formally been canceled. Along with the challenge being scrapped, layoffs within the Vancouver Disney studio are anticipated due to what’s truly a wholesale shift away from long-form content material for WDAS. Collectively, that is an unlucky growth, but it surely’s not stunning.
It Was Clear Tiana Was Having Issues
Animated initiatives of any variety at all times take years to develop, in all equity. However the truth that a lot time had handed with out many updates concerning the Tiana sequence was a robust indication that the challenge was having some difficulties.
This notion of that’s considerably stunning, contemplating The Princess and the Frog as a franchise is arguably extra well-liked now than it has ever been. The unique film wasn’t the large hit that different Disney Princess motion pictures of its period, like Tangled and Frozen, had been. However Disney noticed match to open Tiana’s Bayou Journey at each WDW and Disneyland, a transfer that can make Tiana a part of Disney for many years to come back.
I attended a media preview for Tiana’s Bayou Journey final summer time earlier than the trip opened at Magic Kingdom, and the Tiana sequence was truly introduced up through the presentation. It was indicated that the story of the trip itself would issue into the brand new sequence, which appeared to counsel that the present was nonetheless shifting ahead. Having stated that, there was nonetheless no indication as to when followers may see the present.
Tiana Was A Present I Was Wanting Ahead To
Although Tiana was clearly in growth hell, I used to be hopeful that it will ultimately discover its means out. The Princess and the Frog is a good movie, and Tiana’s Bayou Journey made me fall in love with it another time.
There may be some excellent news, nonetheless as, apparently, Tiana‘s demise does not imply the tip of the character herself. Whereas no sequence is on the best way, there’s a “short-form particular” impressed by the movie that is at the moment in early growth. It’s being known as “all-new storytelling”, so it doesn’t seem that it’s a challenge born from the failed sequence. No matter it’s, let’s hope it truly finally ends up seeing the sunshine of day. Within the meantime, stream The Princess and the Frog with a Disney+ subscription.
