Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog”
Disney is bringing us their first black Princess and her name is Princess Tiana and she must find her prince by kissing all the frogs she finds. Course her only problem is …. they are frogs….who wants to kiss one of those? ikk. However while this marks a first for Disney it is already stirring up controversy. One Youtube lady has expressed her dissatisfaction that “Princess Tiana” was first suppose to be a chambermaid by the name of Maddy. But after many unhappy Disney Lovers they changed her name and then made her a princess. But now another issue remains…they made her into the stereotypical “black woman” according to the youtuber , “She’s got a big butt and large lips. Why can’t she be just normal like others?”
Honestly I think it looks like really cute movie, with an old classic (Princess must kiss a frog to make a Prince) and a spin on it. The setting is the New Orleans 1920s era and is set to be released in 2009. Will you be watching it?
Actor Voices in the Movie:
John Goodman as Louis
Anika Noni Rose as Princess Tiana
Angela Bassett as Eudora

Smart move on Disney’s part. Now we just need a Jewish American princess movie. This is supposed to be their last 2D film and I’m not sure how I feel about that.
