Former Dreamgirls star and actress Anika Noni Rose was on hand for Disney’s launch of a toyline inspired by ‘The Princess and the Frog’ Monday. Princess Tiana, the doll and character voiced by the Tony Award-winning actress/singer became Disney’s first princess since Mulan debuted in 1998 and is also the multimedia giant’s first black princess. While the film ‘The Princess and the Frog’ is rumored to hit theaters later this year, sources say ‘The Princess and the Frog’ is expected to inject new excitement into the 10-year-old Disney Princess franchise.
