Angela Bassett, “Community” actress Yvette Nicole Brown, Reggie Miller, Blair Underwood and many others showed up to check the film out at Walt Disney Studios.

There was a black barbie, now here we go a BLACK princess, i’m sure the average Obama voter and in general the politically correct will be drooling all over this movie. But i am not politically correct and i am not following trends, I will make sure my child does NOT see this….
I am african american and i saw the trailer, i am pretty offended, why the BLACK princess have to be with a white prince? this is certainly not what a lot of blacks want, then why the princess has european features (mouth, nose, etc), why not a real black woman(lips, hair etc)? why is it happening in N.O.(the 911 for blacks, Katrina)? What a poor choice, finally i want to remind that a frog is an animal living in half water, a pretty racist analogy to Katrina blacks living in half water for 1 week. with so much controversy i hope Disney cancels this movie
I am an educated Bleck woman who Is proud to say that it is about time! It is about time thst Disney caught up with the century and made a princess that looks like me. The fact that the prince is “Brown” does not offend me or any other Black person I know. He is not white, he is Brazilian, which makes him Brown. And even if he weren’t so what! Ignorance only keeps hate around, and that’s one more thing that we don’t need to keep in this world. God is love…let’s jus love the fact that they made a positive movie about an African-American princess and leave the rest alone!
The movie has been out for awhile now, but seeing some of the negative comments was a little disheartening. My daughter (whose 3) and myself LOVED this movie! I was concerned about a pushed agenda, with it being Disney. Ever since the loss of Mr. Walt Disney, the company hasn’t produced a quality, happy, feel good, movie. Especially one worthy of the $18.00 for tickets, and the 2 hours of possible quality time I spent with my daughter. However this movie was wonderful! I was so extremely happy with this movie my daughter and I saw it three more times in theaters. It was a strong happy movie about working hard, and falling in love. The obvious double standards had me hesitant,as I said previously Disney has tried to push the race, and gay agenda for too long.It was so wonderful to see a movie where everyone has a soul, and comes together the way we should. I don’t care what color the characters are, just as long as I can sit and happily watch a wonderful movie with my daughter, and not be concerned about what might be going on in her little head. Princess Tiana is one of my favorite princesses, because for darn near the first time a princess didn’t lay in a bed waiting for a kiss by her true love. That leaves me with New Orleans. Why the heck should the movie NOT be based in New Orleans?!? It shows the audience what New Orleans truly is! Not a dilapidated city after a broken levy. New Orleans is the heart and soul of Cajun, zydeco, jazz, and so many other influences of the world. It is a vibrant city that will last forever, and people needed to be reminded of that.
are you kidding me? you racist pricks are getting that much from a kids movie? you people make me sick, and you obviously have no lives to be over analyzing a movie DISNEY made
