Disney Animation Boss Confirms Princess and the Frog TV Special

Jared Bush, the top creative executive at Disney's animation division, has revealed a new project is on the way. He told Collider in an exclusive chat that a standalone television special set in the world of The Princess and the Frog is currently in active production.

The special will feature a complete story and include new songs. According to Bush, members of the original voice cast are set to return.

Bush was tight-lipped about a specific release date or the exact runtime. He described it as feeling more like a special rather than a series of shorts, confirming it is a full musical narrative.

This confirmation follows earlier reports that a planned Tiana series had been shelved. The new special appears to be the project moving forward in its place.
