Jared Bush, chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, said something at the 2025 Annecy Festival that no one expected to hear: “I love 2D”. He brought back Ron Clements, a legend of the Disney Renaissance, to train new animators. From there, the rumor took off: a new princess, long black hair, white dress, classic style.
None of this has been confirmed by Disney. But for a generation that grew up rewinding VHS tapes, the mere possibility is already dividing the internet.
Some say it is time to bring back what was lost in 2013. Others believe it is just a rumor from hopeful fans. Do you believe Disney, or are you waiting to see it first?
