Beauty and the Beast had the most amazing opening at the box office, earning over $170 million from 4,210 theaters over the weekend.
Belle is one of the favorite Disney princesses, and rightfully so. She joins Alice(in Wonderland), Cinderella and Aurora (in Maleficent) in getting their own live action movies, along with Mulan to follow.
However, JJJ is here to make an argument for Tiana, from The Princess and the Frog, to be the next in line for her own live action movie.

Disney debuted the new Princess’ royal gown over the weekend and revealed details about it’s making, which was designed by Project Runway All Stars‘ alum Layana Aguilar.
Making its debut on the Disney channel in July, Elena is a brave and adventurous teenager who saves her kingdom from an evil sorceress and must learn to rule until she is old enough to be queen.
Speaking with WWD, Layana drew on her South American heritage, “The feeling to it is very Peruvian, Inca-like. When they first showed me Princess Elena and I read a little bit about that story, it took me back to that memory.”
Disney’s first Latina Princess, who will make her debut around the Disney Parks this coming August, showed off a little teaser for her upcoming animated show!
In the animated series centers on Elena, whose journey began long ago when her parents and kingdom were taken from her by the evil sorceress Shuriki. She bravely faced the sorceress to protect her little sister, Princess Isabel (Jenna Ortega), and grandparents but in the process, her magical amulet pulled her inside its enchanted jewel, saving her life but imprisoning her at the same time.
Decades later, Princess Sofia of Enchancia (Ariel Winter) discovers the truth about the amulet she has worn since joining her royal family and sets out to restore Elena to her human form and help her return to the kingdom of Avalor.
