Hey everyone. I got the chance to speak with Anika Noni Rose about the role as Disney's first black princess, what the movie means to black princesses across the world, who her prince charming is, her dream to be a Disney voice, how stage acting is most important to her, role in A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and the challenges she's faced in her career among other things in a wide ranging interview
For anyone who are interested in this movie and want to learn about the woman behind the voice of Princess Tiana, this is the interview you should check out.
I saw the movie today with my niece. We enjoyed it. It has a sweet story and it was nice to see some beautiful hand drawn animation. Jennifer Cody, who received an Annie Award nomination for her voice work, was very funny and creative. She made so much out of what could have been a pretty standard character. If she is reading this - Great job, Ms. Cody!
