The Princess And The Frog. Hmm. Song Of The South was much better, but regrettably today’s generation can’t see it.

Possibly the worst Disney animated film of all time. The animation is great. The hand-drawn frames and vibrant colors are wonderful, but what was Disney thinking with this awful story? Look at the height that they have fallen from. We are not supposed to be comparing the storyline with a Saturday morning cartoon. This is supposed to be a real movie. Look at the old Disney films: Lion King, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Robin Hood. What made them great? The story, plain and simple. I hope Disney loses millions on this film so they will learn to stop writing such awful material. Also…This movie is set in America. We have a democracy here not a monarchy. There are no princesses here. Also…this story is supposed to be set in New Orleans. This movie is out of place and completely out of line for Disney. Disney…come back.

This movie is pure racial propaganda. Why are they trying to jam a black into the white European princess outfits, stories, and role? Why arent they trying to put whites in the roles in black mythologies? It does not make any sense. Blacks have different IQ’s, different temperaments, and different cultures. Mixing the two in this manner is destructive of white cultures and peoples, and is insulting to blacks. Leave blacks out of white myths! This movie is horrible. What next, a black playing a northern European pagan god? Geez… Whites have a right to be who they are, so do blacks. The new “religion” of anti-racism is going to ridiculous extremes.

If I had taken a small child to this, we would have walked out.
Shadowy demons dragging the living villin to Hell is NOT my idea of a childs animated video. It was as disturbing as the vivisection in “Toy Story”. We did walk out of that one.

As animation, fantasy this was a good movie. As themes go, I must say that this movie smells. Typical racist attitude, that Disney has exibited forever. An up and coming young Black Princess, unable to find that ideal man to make her life complete, circumstances lead her to…
A great deal has been written about the fact this is an interracial situation. As usual it is the White guy with the woman of color. As if it does not occur in the other direction. Oh yes that continues to be taboo in 21st century America. Like many of the early Westerns, the White guy gets the beautiful Indian Princess, the Asian beauty, or the beautiful Mexican dancer. We only want your women.
Why an exploration of interracial dating with this film aimed at mainly young Black impressionable girls, and in this manner. Why not both ways to tell our young people there is nothing wrong with a Black man having a wife that is White, or even a White man with a Black wife. Or maybe that is the point. It is ok for the White man to marry outside the norm, but not the White woman? Or worse yet the Black man is persona non grata. This is a theme I have observed a great deal in Hollyweird, Hollywood, of late, since “The Body Guard.”
In a great many movies of late we will see one Black woman, and she just happens to be the love interest of a White guy, and hang out with only White guys. Not one Black male in the entire movie. Disney has even placed this theme in some of it’s for children weekly animation series. Then there is Nickelodeion’s “True Jackson,” and ABC Family’s “Lincoln Heights.” All aimed at young people containing the same theme. Why?
Please Hollywood, wake up realize that this thing called interracial dating, and marriage happens both ways, and being racist about the theme is a horrible way to show our young people how life happens to be. Sad that we cannot get past these sterotypes, built into our outlook so long ago, and this animated movie does nothing to empower society to look past color.
Do I wish this movie had been all Black, maybe. Just why was not “Prince Charming,” Black? Should Snow White have had people of color included, or Sleeping Beauty, of course. But when the first movie for Black children comes to being, why must it have this theme? I wonder how many behind the scenes people with a little power were Black? I do not know, but I dare say none. Thus the insensitivity of this presentation. So what if a bunch of…
