The Art Academy series has had multiple versions across platforms, with a Pokemon spin-off being a notable change in direction on 3DS in terms of stepping away from the standard formula. Now there are listings that suggest a Disney spin-off could be in the offing for the portable system.
One such listing is on MacMall, and of more interest is a Synnex listing, which points to this product being made available for vendors. Nintendo has worked closely with partners and Disney IP in the past, of course, notably in helping to publish Disney Magical World; we imagine an Art Academy title with a stylised Frozen illustration front and centre on the box art could do rather well.
This was also one of the games included in a rumour video posted over the weekend, which was asserting its details were a leak from Nintendo. On the flipside to that some are suggesting online that quiet mutterings on this particular 3DS title began in early February, so there's still certainly doubt around the weekend rumours in their broader sense; eyebrows are perhaps raised a little, in any case. Beyond diving off into that particularly deep rabbit hole, these retail/vendor listings provide a relatively firm indication of an upcoming reveal.
Would you like to play - or should the term be use - a Disney Art Academy title on 3DS?
Thanks to all that sent this in.

Maybe... Would be awsome if they had lessons for Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, or anything related to The black cauldron.
But if we are stuck to modern movies and the princess lineup, probaly not.
People, while the rumor COULD be true, please remember that this game was rumored before the Metal Dave's leak. For example:

That cache was taken just a couple days before his video.
I'm curious about that Codename "N-Stars" game.
My little sister LOVED Pokemon Art Academy, so I'll probably buy her this one too
Nope.
While i did like the original art academy my little sister just loves the series so if their will be a new game in the series i will pick it up for her birthday this year.
I bet the marketing leak was from Rich George, former IGN employee. Seems like something he would do!
I would so buy this!
Oh no, not another leak article.
Oh well, this one seems to rely on more than just a YouTube video to back it up, and the game seems like an obvious choice. No harm no foul I suppose.
So do we have a rumour yet that NX has a game with "Mario" in the title?
I'd hit this as long as it had Pixar too
not my kind of game but why not a wii u version too?
The best we can hope for with Frozen is that it appears in Kingdom Hearts 3. Everything else will almost definitely suck.
Not my style, but, if you're gonna make an Art Academy, why not Disney?
Personally, I think they should make a NINTENDO edition with, ya know, Nintendo characters.
What a thought...
@TheY The low budget games are the missing localizations of Rhythm Heaven and Style Savvy 3 apparently. Remember that the lineup is for North America.
@rjejr One thing I've noticed about NX rumors:
NX is rumored to be powerful: Extreme doubt.
NX is rumored to be weak: I knew it! Nintendo didn't learn a thing. DOA!
Such extreme confirmation bias from some people
definitely buy this if it's true. I love art and disney. I don't care if it's just Disney Princesses. my daughter and I would eat this up. I hope they announce a Nintendo Direct soon. I really want DMW2, Style Savvy 3 and a Rhythm Heaven game too.
Rather Don Bluth Art Studio tbh, but I guess the library wouldn't be as diverse.
not interested, but since its AA day 1 buy.
how about more AA for wii U?
@JaxonH Exactly - Art Academy is a fantastic series and the logical thing is to have a Nintendo characters Art Academy - it promotes Art Academy and it promotes the individual IPs featured.
I'll be getting this Disney one, when the price is right, and I'd get a Nintendo version too.
@IceClimbers I don't think internet comments lend themselves particularity well to middle of the road wishy washy comments. If you are going to comment you are going to do so w/ 100% gusto and conviction. Nobody is going to take the time to comment - "well NX might be out in 2016, or it might be out in 2017; it might be a handheld, or it might be a home console". Only those w/ strong feelings one way or the other or going to take the time to type them out, that just how things work.

I've been saying that for 3 years now about Disney Infinity. Where's Snow White, the 7 dwarfs, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Thumper, those Jungle Book folk, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and Lion King toys, or even the Princesses line? Pixar year 1, Marvel year 2 and Star Wars year 3, in a "DISNEY Infinity" game.
I need Style Savvy 3 and Disney Magical World 2. I just need them!
Also the missing Great Ace Attorney would be swell!
It would be exciting to see Disney characters in Nintendo world
