Finally a Disney animated film with a African-American princess. I have loved all the Disney fairytale princess stories since I was little. It's nice that little people out there are going to be able to see a fairytale that stars characters that look like them. I like diversity :)


"Movie premise: A musical set in the legendary birthplace of jazz - New Orleans - The Princess and the Frog will introduce the newest Disney princess, Tiana, a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. From the heart of Louisiana's mystical bayous and the banks of the mighty Mississippi comes an unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm at every turn."


Release date (tentatively) December 18, 2009

    It's a start. I've always wondered about how the lack of black baby dolls, barbies and movie princesses affected my daughters friends and my friends children. I've always bitched about not being able to find anything but little white girl toys when I'm shopping for a birthday party although I am starting to see more than just one or two choices now. It may seem petty and maybe I am overreacting but I would think that it would have some kind of negative effect on the psyche and self-esteem of a brown skinned child that they had to play with white baby dolls, white Barbies, white Polly Pockets etc.. and dress up like a white princess on halloween. Anyway, I'll stop ranting now. It is good to see things changing for the better.
