Being a ten year old girl, I’m very familiar with Disney Princess movies. Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Snow White, Alladin (Jasmine), Sleeping Beauty, Pocahantas, Mulan… there are lots. And though there are some Asian royalty none are african american.
That is all changing with the new movie Princess and the Frog ( Starring Ailleen Quin). It is about (the first) African American princess, living in New Orleans.She thinks that she’d turn the frog into a prince by kissing him.
They end up going on quite journey when she turns into a frog and both have to find somone to turn them back.
I wonder why Disney is making this movie now. Maybe it has something to do with Obama being president. That might be irrelavent but it sure is coincidental. I don’t really think that this is so big for African Americans… but I do think It will be a fantastic movie.
I liked the clip you posted. I hope to see it soon. But before that, I need to get in Ponyo. What did you think about that?
Emma,
What is the latest on this film’s reviews? I am curious…
