Disney to feature Louisiana music in new Pixar film

from: http://www.terrancesimien.com/news.html 

The Princess and The Frog is set in the French Quarter of New Orleans and is scheduled for release December 11, 2009 . This is a very historical project for Disney as they will feature their first ever black princess! The lovely Princess Tiana is "Dreamgirl" Anika Noni Rose. Music score by Randy Newman and will feature the music of Grammy award winning Terrance Simien, Dr. John & Terence Blanchard. Also starring as voice talent, Oprah Winfrey, John Goodman and Terence Howard.

This film is historical for Louisiana and Zydeco music as well, and this will give us a unique opportunity to introduce and educate a whole new audience about the music of Louisiana and for us specifically our indigenous Zydeco music! This will be accomplished with the help of some musical fireflies seen on screen w/accordion and frottoir both played by Terrance. The have already unveiled their toy line to promote the film and there may likely be theme park exhibits also!
