Beauty is not always white. This black princess is beautiful as other white princess. People can not choose their skin color right? I agree with everyone who agains racism.

I don't think that the voo-doo thing is imposing. If they scrapped it and "churchified" it...now that would be imposing because we all have our rights to freedom of religion. Stop focusing on the negatives and just think positive. She is a beautiful black princess who just may out shine the others. This is going to be a great film people.

Yeah, the times have moved on and just about everyone's accepted, and maybe because I'm only fifteen, I don't know what I'm on about. But isn't it a bit sad when you walk into a shop with your niece or whatever and when she asks for a disney doll that resembles her (at least partially), the closest you get is Pocohantas? I can't lie, Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and Pocohantas are my faves, but it would be so nice to have some diversity. Back to the point ^_^ --> it's called The Frog Princess and is set to be released around 2009, so thumbs up =] (and don't believe that Disney are by any means racist even if the film doesn't turn out to be a success!) One more issue for my "essay"; even though she is ethnic, her prince doesn't have to be, if he is, then it's all good, but I'd also kinda want to see some mixed relationships happening with Disney!! The times are moving man! XD) Well, I’m certainly not racist or overly involved in racial issues, but wouldn’t it be nice for Disney to have something new?

As soon as you start changing things to make one group happy a million other groups are going to start finding things they don't like and they want changed. Where does it stop? I'll change it for African Americans and Hispanics because they're big groups, but not albinos from Germany. I'll change it for gay people but not for people from Arkansas. That's even sillier than changing it in the first place. Because you can never make EVERYONE happy.

If someone feels insulted and ridiculed than better indulge them. Of course if they looked at the situation without all the interpretations that is played in their heads they could react objectively, but we are burdened by our believes everywhere, so I agree that it seems silly to others but if the changes makes someone happy, why not.
