The Princess and the Frog Merchandising News
The December release of the Disney film The Princess and the Frog is almost here, and as it has done for its past animated princess feautres, Disney is pumping out merchandise to tie in nicely with the film.
Carol’s Daughter, a New York-based company that manufactures hair products for women of color is Disney’s partner of choice, and the company has personalized a set of hair products in conjuction with the film, available to consumers for a limited time.
The Magical Gift set includes a shampoo, a detangler, a bubble bath gel, and a conditioner for the African-American juvenile crowd.
The merchandising doesn’t stop there. Aside from the Princess Tiana doll that was released at the American International Toy Fair earlier this year, there’s also a figurine.
My guess is that Disney will also partner with McDonalds for Princess Tiana Happy Meal toys.

This is It Documentary Spawns Memorabilia
Ebay Giving Works is teaming up with the City of Hope, a biomedical research firm, to do a giveaway for Michael Jackson’s musical documentary This is It
Two winners will actually receive a ticket, as well a lenticular version of the ticket of the ill-fated London concerts (bound to be a collector’s item, as only 500 of them were produced by AEG) for the October 27th premiere of the music-mentary at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
Ticket auctions are also in place on Ebay and will benefit City of Hope.
