You're also right about ...All very good points. You're also right about Belle but they never tried to sell that movie on the point of being a first this or that. I think Disney really missed the boat on what could have been something extraordinary by not allowing what was essentially a classic Disney movie BE a classic Disney movie. In 2010 to get cold feet about the imagery you were talking about makes Disney seem really out of date and almost racist.Cool Shithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15259002396291164062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605530239507795980.post-46015178324760513912009-12-27T20:27:18.164-08:002009-12-27T20:27:18.164-08:00"The only bizarre vibe to the movie is it fee..."The only bizarre vibe to the movie is it feels like Disney was trying to sidepstep the whole "first Black Princess" thing which wasn't necessary."<br /><br />THIS is the reason I coudln't 100% like the movie. I ADORE Disney movies from Little Mermaid on, but I've been waiting 20 years for one to look like me and when she does, she spends most if not half of the movie as a frog. I felt cheated, honestly. It's not the fact that she wasn't technically a princess- (neither was Belle from Beauty and the Beast) It was the fact that all of those defining Disney Princess moments- falling in love, saving the day, defeating the bad guy, even most of the WEDDING, she was a fucking frog. I just felt robbed of that imagery, and thought it was a bad choice to keep her as a frog that long. It was like they were saying, "Well it's okay that it took 80 years to have a black princess, cos it's what's inside that counts."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
