They are also developing shoes based on the animal citizens of Zootopia called Zootopia + and new adventures of Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars, called Cars on the Road.
About Tiana
Stella Meghie (Jean of the Joneses, Everything, Everything) has been roped in to write and direct the musical series, which will continue the story from 2009’s The Princess and the Frog.
