Wow... very rare information to think me reading the Princess & the Frog online would lead me here. - Shame it was scrapped that show would have made quite the impact featuring a variety of Disney female leading roles - iconic even. I'm so glad I followed the link from Google hear looking at this page has made me feel great. So the idea was pitched in 2009 by Disney collaborators including Alan Menken, the project seemed to be a sure thing until (according to one of the project’s creators) Disney’s move away from hand-drawn animation to CGI put the whole thing to rest. In 2014 Disney did something else with the title instead, featuring "some" of the characters that would have appeared in the original idea.

In all honesty it's quite easy to ponder what happened. If the idea came about 2009 and Sofia the First came three years after it basically adds up where the princess idea went - not to mention the Disney princess cameo appearances.
