I was actually really disappointed when Tiana turned out to be a working-class waitress instead of a princess, as the early previews had hinted at. Us black folk have enough movie heroines who are working class or poor trying to fight against racism/classicism, and I had really hoped for us to finally have some royalty or a born-princess, But it’s another typical black story of a hard-workin’ black gurrrl trying to rise above the odds (although she may be a good role model.) It’s overplayed and I was hoping Disney might break the mold. I know it may be ‘unrealistic’ to have a black princess, but since when does Disney care about realism?
I liked Princess and the Frog, but I had a lot of issues with it. I’m too lazy to type it all up now though.
