"The series was a long time coming, and a lot of beautiful work was put into it by all of the creatives involved," the actress, who voiced Tiana in the original 2009 film, said on social media.

Anika Noni Rose is breaking her silence over Disney's decision earlier this month not to move forward with animated musical series 'Tiana'.

"I, too, am deeply disappointed that the continuation of Tiana's journey in series form has been cut short,” actress Anika Noni Rose wrote.
