Princess and the frog

Princess and the frog has been a newly developed idea with disney Promoting black characters in a positive light. Over many years black characters with in Animation especially in disney have always been based on a racist stereotypes created by the west. e.g. coal black and de sebben dwafs is a racist spin of from Snow white and the seven dwafs made with black characters to mock both their appearance and behaviour making them seem idiotic and dimwitted. Princess follows this animation on the lines of having the main protagonist as a female character and the rest being male.

Princess takes an old fairy tale and uses it to recreate a version on the story using black characters.

"The conversation about race in this new Disney movie is incredibly diverse. Some are considering this movie to still be a racist Disney movie, while others are saying because this is Disney’s first black Princess, the movie is not racist. "

The features of the characters are all correct in their representation of black people and no longer involve stereotypes in princes and the frog, although some of the features still look slightly white.
