After reading about Disney's Imperialist Ideology and the portrayal of women and children within it's animations. Something dawned on me, Disney is coming out with a new animation called "The Princess and the frog." Why is this of any importance you may ask. Well as seen in one of the blogs below, the closet Disney has ever gotten to having a black princess was "Princess Jasmine" from the movie "Aladdin." This next animation features "Princess Tiana" A beautiful sophisticated young woman that unfortunately you don't see for very long. Because she kisses the frog prince and turns into a frog herself. So unlike all the other princesses that stay beautiful throughout the movie... The first Black princess is a frog for most of it. Yes they are trying to appease the African American populous and sway the minds of others into believing, "See they aren't so bad." The sad truth is, they haven't changed and nor will they ever in my opinion. Anyways check it out!!!
