I recently traveled to a magical kingdom (Disney Channel Studios, actually) to talk to the talents behind the new animated TV series ELENA OF AVALOR.

Watch below my interview with Craig Gerber (creator) & Silvia Cardenas Olivas (story editor), and the Hispanic Princess herself, Elena’s voice, Aimee Carrero.

Elena of Avalor is an animated series that follows the story of Elena, a brave and adventurous teenager who saves her kingdom from an evil sorceress and must now learn to rule as crown princess until she is old enough to be queen. Set in Avalor, an enchanted fairytale kingdom inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore, Elena’s journey will lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders.
