Disney is returning to 2-D cel animation and featuring its first Black princess in one fell swoop with _The Frog Princess_.

Black people in a Disney animation? Lies!

Look forward to the usual giant almond eyes and face!

It was only a matter of time. It probably didn't happen sooner because of the shitty state of the animation department (enter Pixar and now amazingly they are functioning respectably again) And it was pathetically "safer" to transition into ethnicities via asian/arabic.

So thedy're extending the successful "princess" marketing blitz to an additional demographic?

I am shocked, I say, shocked.

I want my company to suck less! Really, I do! :(

I find the support of New Orleans respectable. The demographic/marketing is unavoidable - they are a company trying to make a profit after all - they aren't here for charity.
