Disney Finally Brings in an African American Princess
Posted by Ashley McChesney on Tue, Aug 11, 2009 @ 10:49 AM
In a long overdue move, Disney has added another Princess to a lineup that hasn't changed in ten years, even better - she's not white.
Meet Princess Tiana from the upcoming movie The Princess and the Frog.
And her real counterpart that you will meet in the parks, who is scheduled to make her first appearance on October 16th 2009.
The movie is also the first in several years to be done in hand drawn animation and looks to be a hit, as most Disney movies are. It has a prince, shape-shifting magic, lots of music, lovable animal compainons to help our royal couple, and an extravegant villan. Would you expect anything less from a movie designed to be the next classic?
The Princess and the Frog is scheduled for a limited release in New York and California on November 25, 2009 and then released everwhere else on December 25, 2009.
