I’ve wondered why Disney hasn’t developed a princess story with a black character before, but I assumed they satisfied their multi-ethnic impulses with their forays into Arabian, Chinese, and Early American cultures. I doesn’t matter really. I haven’t cared to see any Disney cartoon since The Lion King, even though I have suffered through Pocahontas and Mulan and I hear Tarzan is worth seeing.

Now, Disney is telling a story in New Orleans called “The Frog Princess.” I believe her name is Maddy, and she appears to be a black American. Hopefully, this will be a good story, ala Beauty & the Beast.
