I always wondered when a black princess was going to come in, I'm happy they decided to do it. But the Disney Princesses are,
Mulan
Belle
Snow White
Jasmine
Aurora
Cinderella
Pocahontas
Right?
Apparently "Home on the Range" was supposed to be the last animated film but since Disney's animated department is under new management, they decided to go back to 2D animation.
Here's some info on the movie itself,
Quote:
Disney had once announced that Home on the Range would be the studio's last 2-D entry to their animated features canon, but after the company's acquisition of Pixar in early 2006, it was reported that Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, new leaders of the animation department, were interested in going back to 2-D. Ron Clements and John Musker, directors of successful 2D Disney films Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, will be writing and directing. About a month later, at the Comic-Con, Disney animator Eric Goldberg confirmed the news and also mentioned that Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken would be in charge of the music.
