Say “hola” to Disney’s latest princess.
Disney plans to add a new princess with a Latin flair to its roster next year, the company said Thursday.
The character, Elena of Avalor, is described as “inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore.” She’ll be introduced during a special episode of Disney Junior’s “Sofia the First,” which is slated for a 2016 premiere.
Following her “Sofia the First” introduction, the character will receive her own animated series, “Elena of Avalor.”
Aimee Carrero, of ABC Family’s “Young & Hungry,” will voice the character, who is described as a 16-year-old and a “bold, caring, funny and clever ascendant to the throne in the fairytale kingdom of Avalor.”
