The Princess and the Frog
Today I am hitting another note, instead of books I am going to mention a movie. On December 11th, a movie will hit theaters. This movie is the classic story of The Princess an the Frog. There are two exciting things about this movie. Number one, this will be the first PURE DISNEY ANIMATION since movies like Lion King and Hercules dating back to the 90s. Number two, the more important one, is the fact that all the main characters in this film are black (or a mix of french and black). Now not many people understand what the big deal is, but how many animations do you know where the main characters are a race other then white? Aladdin? What else? You can't say Peter Pan because that movie was slightly racist. This is a new step into a new world people. Maybe I am a bit overdramatic, but this movie may open up a new world of princes and princesses for little girls and boys "of color." It does for me. So if you don't understand this, look at this from a different perspective.
