Disney Creates First African-American Princess

Disney is adding its first African-American princess to the Disney Princess franchise.

"USA Today" reports Princess Tiana is slated to make her big screen debut later this year in the animated musical "The Princess and the Frog."

She will be the first princess introduced by Disney since 1998's Mulan.

The public will get its first look at the Princess Tiana doll today at the American International Toy fair in New York City.

It will be about the same size as a Barbie doll, and will come wearing a blue gown and a tiara.

The Princess Tiana doll, which was created by Mattel, is expected to sell for about ten to 15 dollars.

Disney hopes to release more merchandise featuring the newest addition to the royal family throughout the year.

Disney Princess Tea Time With Me Little Belle

Disney Princess Tea Time With Me Little Belle

Before she was fully grown and swept away by a handsome beast, Belle was a sweet young girl who probably loved to do the same things that all little girls enjoy. Now your little princess can have a tea party with Little Princess Belle and her friends, Mrs. Potts and Chip. The 15-inch-tall Belle is interactive, so as you "pour" tea from Mrs. Potts into your Chip cup, Belle will ask to have some as well. And then she’ll use a few of her seven phrases to tell you how she prefers her tea prepared. When you lift your cup (pinky out!) to slowly sip your tea, Belle will magically raise her cup and drink, too. Before you know it, you’ll be laughing and singing -- because Belle has a special tea time song that she shares with her friends. The 11-piece tea set includes a cup for Belle, sugar cubes, a spoon, and more.
