Walt Disney’s animation has made a decision that marks the turning point in its content policy for Disney+, we are learning through Hollywood reporter. The studio has officially announced that he abandoned the production of Tiana, an animated series inspired by the film La Princesse and La Grenouille (2009). This choice is part of a wide transformation of Disney’s spread strategy that reviews the way to approach the flow.
This decision is derived from the desire to transform investment in cinematic performances, which is designed for a big screen rather than in the original flow series. After mixed with some exclusive projects on Disney+, the company seems to promote feature films that continue to make significant revenue in theaters.
Tiana, a promising project that will no longer go
In December 2020, it was announced that Tiana should have been a musical series played by Anika Noni Rose, who resumed the emblem role of her first Disney black princess. The series was created for the deepening of Tiana’s history after the film’s events and her daily life as a sovereign study of Maldonia.
Despite the creative team’s attempts to change and materialize the project, as I told you in late 2023, Tiana has never reached the advanced stage of development. According to sources near the project, its high production cost and new Disney+ strategic priorities lead to abandonment.
A tendency that is evidenced by Disney
Tiana’s cancellation is not an isolated case. For several months, Disney began to turn into flow policy. Pixar recently announced that it would no longer produce a long series of Disney+, after victory or loss, and Waya 2, which was originally an animated series, was eventually transformed into a movie theaters.
Disney is now based on the room as the main economic model, especially after the incredible performance of 2, which has raised $ 1.7 billion in the world cash register. In contrast, Disney+ exclusive products often have difficulties with their production costs, which partially opens up Tiana.
Inward results
Tiana’s verdict also results in the results of Disney animation. Vancouver studio, which worked for several projects, will, of course, be released because of this change.
However, the world of the princess and the frog will not disappear. Disney recently turned to the attraction of Splash Mountain in the United States in its parks “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure”, which is evidence that the princess remains an important figure in the studio catalog. In addition, the film inspired by the animated special, though little information on this topic was revealed.
Despite the cancellation of Tiana, Disney seems to want to continue to exploit this world, but with other formats and more careful approach.
