A book ALL about Disney Princesses? YES please! Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara explores the legacies of the Princesses and what they represent today. Featuring concept art, memorabilia, and original interviews, Publishing September 20th, 2022. I wanted this one for myself…. but my niece (Princess Elsa) had other ideas. She wanted it and was naming all the princesses in the book to me. She knows them ALL already… and she’s only 3! Now I need to buy another copy of the book for myself.

Everyone knows the Disney Princess characters, but how did they become the cultural icons we know today? From the Princesses Walt Disney and his artists brought to the screen in the 20th century, such as Snow White and Aurora, to the recent additions such as Moana, Tiana and Rapunzel, each Disney Princess character’s influence has expanded beyond their original film. Each of their unique, individual stories create a fabric with the power to inspire our imaginations, spark social conversations, and empower us. I loved learning more about the princesses and their background, cool facts and information about all of our favorite princesses.

Featured Disney Princesses include:

  • Moana
  • Merida
  • Rapunzel
  • Tiana
  • Mulan
  • Pocahontas
  • Jasmine
  • Belle
  • Ariel
  • Aurora
  • Cinderella
  • Snow White
Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara

and interviews with Disney historians, directors, voice talent, and fans. Explore the different eras, influences, and legacies of the Princesses with Disney Legends such as Jodi Benson (voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid and author of the book’s foreword), Lea Salonga (the singing voice behind two Princesses, Jasmine and Mulan), and composer Alan Menken.

About Disney’s “Moana”: From Walt Disney Animations Studios comes Moana, a sweeping film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity. Rated PG.
