Disney has their first black princess coming out in a move. You’d think with how innovative they are with technology, CGI and other story lines that  they would have had a black main character by now.  Nop  You’re racking your brains for one, aren’t you?

More Disney pictures after the skip…

Disney’s had the Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Cinderella – all Caucasian girls.  Then there was Jasmine who was of Indian descent and Mulan, who was Asian.  It’s about time Disney got with the program.  But they are probably going to stir up controversy with her.  From the Washington Post:

And then one day, through the magical powers of Disney animation and commercial marketing, the forgotten little princess was transformed into Tiana, a beautiful black princess from New Orleans. She became the star of “The Princess and the Frog,” a movie set to premiere in November. Her doll and toy set were unveiled last month, and the Disney promotional machine is already humming, for Tiana is the first Disney princess in more than a decade, and the first ever to be black.

OK…that doesn’t sound so bad, except that Tiana is romantically linked with a Brazilian prince.  Yup, you got it – an interracial relationship!  Leave it to Disney to tackle two beasts with one try.

Here’s the trailer:

Are you excited for the new Disney flick to come out?
