First Look at The Princess and the Frog

Disney’s The Princess and the Frog will open nationwide for Christmas 2009, but a little teaser just hit the internet. Just wanted to share with you all — the last time I wrote about this film, quite a few of you were excited. And some were understandably ambivalent — given Disney’s history we all should be a little wary, at the very least.
I know so many women who give Disney movies and Barbie dolls a wide berth, because of the negative impact their depictions of women can impart unto young girls. But as a little bella who grew up on white Disney princesses and blond Barbies, I know how much this would have meant to me as a young un. I definitely am planning on taking a closer look come next Christmas, and I’m trying… TRYING to withhold judgment until I see the whole cartoon. It’s hard, though. Thoughts, bellas?

Ms Gee: I’m married to a biracial man and have three beautiful multiracial children: I am pro all marriages whether they be interracial or not,however, listening to you ramble on about how “harmful” it is for a black child to see a POSITIVE image of a black relationship…would be hilarious if it didn’t sound so crass and border-line racist. Hopefully, your children will branch out and become TOLERANT and not have preconceived notions about certain men based on their race..judging by your mentality, they have a helluva lot to branch away from.
What a pity….
Jamillah:Girl..please.The only reason some Black people are being “nit picky” is because they are hoping for the best, but expecting the worse..

regarding what berrybrowne Says: “3. and i’m feeling bebroma on the white prince. i mean, seeing as how we’re only going to get one black princess, i’d love some black-on-black love. if we had diversity, i’d be cool with diversity.”
I am more inpressed by Black+White than Black+Black because there really are almost no interracial romances, compared to just black.
