Anika Noni Rose had a favorite dress moment
Anika Noni Rose, who played Tiana in The Princess in the Frog, knew the blue dress was the best dress. This fashion tidbit came from West, who animated the shimmer in the reveal of its ballgown moment. “When she puts that blue gown on, when she’s all sad, but it’s got sparkles on the tulle—I did those in all the shots,” he said, sharing what he said was his favorite anecdote from working on the film. “Anika Noni Rose was really smitten by it, so she’d be like ‘Marlon did the sparkle.’ ‘This is Marlon, he did the sparkles.’ So yeah, it was a comparatively easy thing to do, it looks really cool and it meant a lot to her.”
