Aimee Carrero to Voice New Disney Junior Princess

Young and Hungry’s Aimee Carrero has landed a new role. Aimee is set to voice Disney Junior’s newest princess, Elena of Avalor “a 16 year old princess who hails from a kingdom inspired by diverse Latin cultures and folklore’.

The character will be first introduced on Sofia the First, which stars Ariel Winter. From there, the channel plans on spinning off Elena into her own show which will premiere in 2016.

The network introduced the character and her story as follows, “In the course of protecting her family from the evil sorceress Shuriki, Elena was pulled into and imprisoned inside an enchanted amulet. Decades later, Princess Sofia discovers the truth about the amulet she has worn since joining her own royal family and sets out to restore Elena to human form and help her return to Avalor. There, Elena’s magical sidekicks will include Mateo, a wizard-in-training, and Skylar, a flying creature.”

Elena will make her premiere of Sofia the First in 2016. Congrats to Aimee on the new role!
