It's been more than two decades since The Princess Diaries introduced the world to Anne Hathaway and saw the long-awaited Disney return of one of its most legendary performers, the incomparable Julie Andrews. Based on the Meg Cabot novel of the same name, the 2001 Garry Marshall-directed comedy charmed audiences with its hilarious and heartwarming tale of a socially awkward teenage girl who's shocked to learn that she's actually a royal heir. And you can revisit the fantastical favorite as it airs tonight, August 25, as part of the Wonderful World of Disney Movie Night on ABC at 8:30pm Eastern Time.
"For teenager Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), just surviving each school day is an adventure. But when shocking news about the death of her long-absent father arrives, Mia discovers that he was the prince of Genovia, making her a real-life princess," reads the movie's official synopsis, per Disney. "So begins a comical transformation towards poise and princess-ness, including a media storm, jealous schoolmates and a plot to take over her country."
