A new animated Disney movie is coming out, which is great news for those of you who still watch Disney movies not made by Pixar. The Princess and the Frog, which comes out Christmas of 2009, features Disney’s first-ever Black princess - a young girl named Tiana growing up in New Orleans who looks kind of exactly like Princess Ariel in a dark wig. The movie’s release date kept getting pushed back because the original storyline was completely scrapped after being called out as racist. Yeah, oops. The movie also, apparently, features a firefly that happens to be a toothless crackhead. That’s not racist, right? It’s the truth! It’s factual! Everything is satisfactual.

Trailer after the jump:


Now when will Disney create the story of a Princess Usnavy, an idealistic young girl shepherded to the shores of Miami on the backs of mystical dolphins?

    as my friend who works for the house of mouse has told me, time and time again: she’s not a black princess. she’s an _American_ princess.

    I believe the honor of “Disney’s First Animated American Princess” goes to Pocahontas.

    Omgoodness…. that Firefly. I think I sat next to him on the subway yesterday. He feigned interest in what I had to say, and then called me “cracker” as I got of.

    who said i was right? but then we’re going to open a whole can of wampum if we call Pocahontas an American, instead of an indigenous member of a tribe that was overtaken by white guys from England. we all know how that Columbus day argument from last year ended.
