Aww! Disney Princess Voice Actors Fulfill Your Childhood Dreams and Sing ‘A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes’
We figured that the Disney 23 Expo would be all about the company’s new projects, projects we had long outgrown — but it’s actually a nostalgia-fest! First there was the silly Lion King bloopers video, and now this awesome reunion. Four actresses who’ve played iconic Disney characters were given the Disney Legends award, then took to the stage to sing the classic song “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes.” From left to right, that’s Paige O’Hara (Belle), Lea Salonga (Mulan and the singing voice of Jasmine), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), and Jodi Benson (Ariel)!

“Up” and “The Princess and the Frog” Win Annie Awards
Two Disney films walked away with Annie (animation) Awards last night. “Up” won two awards, including Best Feature which means they have a very good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Feature.

“The Princess and the Frog” has only been out on the big screen for a little over two months and it has already broken the $100 million mark at the box office. It opened in limited locations on November 25th and nationwide December 11th.
