Maddy, Disney's next princessFinding Wonderland reviews the concerns over Disney's project to feature its first Black princess: Frogs, Rejected Suitors, and Things that Make You go "Hmmm."
I have my own issues with Disney chewing up fairy tales while shoving all of the interesting bits under its corporate napkins. Still, I have been rooting for a Black princess for a a long time. I am leery of the potential stereotypes and misrepresentations for Princess Maddy and her Cajun roots. After all, look at what happened with the historical fiction of Matoaka. I hope that The Frog Princess fares better.
Thanks to Fuse for the link.
