The First African American Princess?

Another Disney caught my attention A new movie coming named the princess and the frog is coming out in 11 December 2009 and it is animation style. Its cast consists of; Errence Howard, Oprah Winfrey, Anika Noni Rose, Keith David and Jennifer Cody.

The plot is about a fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age. To tell the truth, I'm glad that Disney has had a more change of heart into making a cartoon movie about/with African Americans/blacks in it. It just gives me hope tell me we're a little bit on schedule in diversifying the black race into the media, more and more as well as into cartoon movies starring for Disney. yeah, it's a small step, but hey, at least we're a bit more invited.

I personally hope this movie reaches the box office so that Disney can go back to making more animation styled movies like this and stick to what made them a legend but a lot of people need to see this movie so that can happen.
