Disney's first brown princess "Maddy" probably has old Walt turning in his grave, and narrow minded white folks pissed

The Walt Disney Company finally realized that they should probably create a character that little brown children can relate to. After all brown parents contribute a huge chunk of the billions of dollars Disney rakes in every year. But why now? Why didn't this happen under the Eisner regime. Since taking over as Disney head mouse Bob Iger has been taking the company into new directions and one of these is making sure that brown people know that Disney has love for them too, or something to that effect. Disney's first brown princess will make her debut in the new Disney animation titled “The Frog Princess” which is currently in production.


“The Frog Princess,” a musical scored by composer Randy Newman, is “an American fairy tale” starring a girl named Maddy who lives in the French Quarter in New Orleans, said John Lasseter, chief creative director for Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.

However some narrow minded brown folks would probably ask why does the company have to debut their first black princess in a film called "The Frog Princess"? Or why did the film have to take place in New Orleans? But again, that would be narrow minded individuals who can't see past the fact that Disney has come out of the closet. But how will America respond to an animation film featuring a brown princess when they are used to only Caucasian princesses? Will Disney do some kind of tie in with black cable networks like TV One and BET? It would make sense wouldn't it, or would it? Only time will reveal how America feels about a brown princess, (and there are many in the world), when the film hits theaters in 2009. Disney should also make sure that it’s first brown princess has the features to match. Don’t try to get one over on the brown folks by darkening the skin of a white princess. Ya dig!

Yeh I just blogged about this over at Highbrid Nation, check it out if you get a chance. Anyway, it really is about time Disney gave little girls a black princess to look up to. Its long overdue. I also think its great that the film will take place in New Orleans. I'll definately have to take my neice to the Frog Princess.
