Disney shows first black princess

Featured Replies

Disney's next animated fairy tale, The Frog Princess, will feature the studio's first black princess.

Maddy is an African-American girl living amid the faded grandeur of New Orleans' French quarter.

 

The movie will also see a return to the hand-drawn animation process, instead of using computer animation that has become the industry standard.

 

The film will be made by John Musker and Ron Clements, the team behind The Little Mermaid and Aladdin.

 

Cajun charm

 

Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook said: "The film's New Orleans setting and strong princess character give the film lots of excitement and texture."

 

Composer and singer Randy Newman will provide music for the film, which promised an "unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm," a Disney spokesman said.

 

The studio said its new princess will be added to its collection of animated princesses used at the company's theme parks and on consumer products.

 

The film is set for release in 2009.

I have recently seen this movie and believe me it's really fantastic.I think it's one of the best Disney movies.

Jesus it's like Night Of The Living Dead in here.

Technically I think the princess in Aladdin was middle-eastern... I forgot her name. Oh yeah, Jasmine. And the first ginger princess was Ariel from Little Mermaid.

I want to see that movie so bad. :wacko:
