Tiana is a beacon to her family
As a fan of the film I was geeking out when we went to Mardi Gras World, a huge warehouse of floats from the annual festivities, and saw the Tiana statue the city dedicated to the film. It’s so exciting to see where her story will go from where we left off in the 2009 film. Robledo gave a sense of what Imagineering wanted to explore: “There’s so much of her story that was touched upon in the film, the relationship with her father, a World War I veteran; her relationship with her mother, [who] we like to say was the entrepreneurial inspiration for her to be the successful businesswoman that Tiana is today in our story.”
