Someone recently asked Skyler Shuler, in The DisInsider's mailbag for this week, what the status of the Disney+ Tiana series was. Here's what he said (which can be found in this link here: https://thedisinsider.com/2024/04/24/th ... r-mailbag/)...
"What’s the status of Tiana tv show? do you think for next 4 – 5 years, Disney Animation will do other adaptations of classic tales (I remember the rumored Princess and the Pea) or only sequels?
This project has had many hurdles, COVID-19, script rewrites, and crew changes. Now, we are the heels of a Princess and the Frog renaissance with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure getting set to open at the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Resort. Well, to add some new fuel to the fire, I was told just last month that the Tiana series may receive the same fate as the Moana series and instead be reworked as Princess and the Frog 2. As of now, that should be taken with a grain of salt."
Well, if this is true, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, unlike Moana 2 being a 6-episode series that was one story formed like a movie that was split into 6 episodes that eventually became a theatrical sequel, Tiana is allegedly an episodic series, that could have a different story each week despite having a clear narrative. However, if they decide to make Tiana theatrical, it could give them the excuse to make this movie be hand-drawn animated if it means they pump more money into Tiana. So, I guess we'll see at D23 what they decide on with Tiana. All I want is for this Princess and the Frog follow-up to be hand-drawn animated. That's all I want from this upcoming continuation.
