DISNEY'S 1ST BLACK PRINCESS RAISING EYEBROWS
Disney revealed Princess Tianna, their first Black princess not too long ago, and the drama has started already. Not because she’s Black, but because her prince, Prince Naveen, is ‘White’. The mixed pair will star in Disney’s upcoming animated film. ‘The Princess and the Frog’.
Disney’s first black princess, Princess Tiana – and the ‘white’ Prince Naveen
Move over Snow White. Make room for Disney’s first black princess.
With America’s first African-American president in the White House, Disney is counting on an African-American princess to be a big hit in Hollywood.
But even though The Princess and the Frog isn’t released until later this year, it is already stirring up controversy.
For while Princess Tiana and many in the cartoon cast are black – the prince is not.
Which has led some critics to complain that Disney has ducked the opportunity for a fairytale ending for a black prince and princess.
While some have hailed Disney’s decision as a reflection of melting pot America, others say the company is sending out a mixed message.
Although the black princess’s love interest in the new animated musical is called Prince Naveen of Maldonia and is voiced by a Brazilian actor, he looks more white than black in photographs from the film that Disney have released.
Seriosly, this is just crazy, In the real world, we all know that there are mixed couples, and all those mixed children love Disney. so, why is is a big deal that Disney has finally created a cartoon that reflects the world we live in? I’m not trying to start anything. I’m just saying….
