updated 1:45 p.m. ET, Mon., Feb. 16, 2009
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.

There should be a Rapunzel animated movie coming out too down the line. I'm always good for more princesses. ;

And for all us kiddies of the 70s, "Race to Witch Mountain" will be coming out this year.

 

Were looking forward to seeing Race to Witch Mountain once it comes out. ;
