NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The latest release from Walt Disney Animation studios — the Princess and the Frog — isn’t just set in New Orleans. It also features music by a choir organized by a staffer from Loyola University in New Orleans.
The Pinnacle Gospel Choir, organized by Loyola staffer Lyle E. Henderson, provides background vocals for a song in the film.
Loyola notes in a news release that the film also features Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard, artistic director of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at Loyola.
The Princess and the Frog opened in theaters on Dec. 11.
