You may ask, what does Barack Obama and Disney's Princess And The Frog have in common? Well you may not but I'm going to say anyway. 2009 saw a change in the world, the first black man elected as the president of the united states and 2010 follows swiftly with the first black heroin in a Disney movie. Maybe it's not a great or significant as the Barack's story but you can't honestly say that Disney didn't have the right blend of colours to do it.
Disney's movies are colourful entertainment.
They have delve into their colour palettes and drawn up princesses of every colour and hair colour for that matter.
Snow White :WHITE
Cinderella :WHITE
Aurora :WHITE
Ariel :WHITE/FISH
Belle : WHITE
Jasmin : ARABIAN
Mulan :ORIENTAL
Pocahontas :NATIVE AMERICAN.
Tiana :....wait for it. BLACK
It's funny there was even a mermaid before Tiana too. The movie really touches down on Disney's classic like Lion King and Beauty and the Beast by creating the movie from hand drawn techniques. I guess 3D isn't always the way forward. The film is a sure for family entertainment even though the first black princess is a frog for most of the movie Martin Luther King himself would have had this in his pirate DVD collection.
Check below for a preview of the film and enjoy.
