'Elena of Avalor' inspired by the diversity of Latin culture
The producers of "Elena of Avalor" drew inspiration from across Latin America to create Disney's first Latina princess.

Featuring Disney's first Latina Princess, Elena of Avalor has drawn inspiration from the cultures across Latin America to create the hit show.

"Latin culture is extremely diverse," show creator Craig Gerber told ABC. "There are many nations and each nation has its own traditions. Then there are traditions that they share based on their mutual heritage."
