That moment at disneyland when you're at New Orlenes Square, and you wait in a huge line JUST to see TIANA and NAVEEN, then when you walk out to fantasyland, you see another pair of Tiana and Naveen on a parade float. -__-
@funtimecheerio ok, thanks! I was wondering because in the movie it doesn't say anything about her being a real princess, but i'll take your word for it.
Now I'm waiting for a Princess with 'meat on her bones'! DOn't get me wrong I like all the Princesses ( especially Tiana and Pocahontas) but most of them are very thin. Not everyone is that small. :)
@ChiruSan Clearly you haven't seen the movie. Tiana works hard her entire live, saving any and all extra income in tin coffee cans only to be told by the realtors that she couldn't have the location she wanted because they thought "a woman of her background would have too much on her hands..." Meanwhile the Prince is unlikeable for most the film.
The story is about working hard and overcoming adversity and making sure you get what you need, regardless of whether its what you thought you wanted.
I liked most of the movie. It just upset the traditional Disney kid in me when she wished upon a star and she had to work for her wish... But the music was GREAT! :D
@MoonlightPlayist it is a big thing because black girls growing up need to see a princess that looks like them so that their self esteem could flourish. If you grow up only seeing white princesses you would want to be white. Trust me I been through it.
Why do we need a princess of every ethnicity? I love Mulan but I'm not Chinese, it really doesn't matter. It is cool to have a black Princess though, just cause.
Wow! Can't believe that you're actually asking this?!? Because little girls and women need to see princesses and beauty in all colors! We don't need anything! The fact that the world is full of people who are of different ethnicity, cultures and colors why NOT?
@Camilliusz i thougt it was referred to as Latin or Mexican..and Pocahontas is not rlly Mexican. so yea. And btw every race is mixed...im just saying..
Mexican is a nationality. American is a nationality. native americans reside in both those countries (but called by their own tribes of course)
Pocahontas is from the indigenous people of the Americas. (her tribe resided in US territory now)
Some Mexicans have indigenous in them, other mixed with the spanish. technically speaking every race is mixed, but some more homogeneous than others (for example, Korea, more than 99% korean ethnicity)
@yunafantasy25 she does not count, the TRUE princesses are Cinderella by marriage, Belle by marriage, Tiana by marriage, Beauty by birth, Ariel by birth, Snow by birth, and to some extent, Pocahontas by birth as she is a chief's daughter, Mulan, is not, nore was she in real life, just a hero or heroine rather
@javenetti yes Mulan counts because she married that royal protector guy..what is his name? But she is a disney "princess" she still fits in the princess category, just like meg.
@Bangles24 MULAN IS NOT A PRINCESS! In Disney or in real life, she was not a princess. The character Mulan is not a princess because her husband was just a soldier nothing royal about him
@Bangles24 ok, forget this crap, i've had it, if there's one thing i know, it's disney, and mulan is not a princess, by any standards other than that her dolls were sold under the disney princess market, not all female characters made by disney are princessess! a soldier, a royal does not make! and she was given a position on the emperor's council, a position which she denied, NOT ADOPTED! so in no way is she a princess! end of discussion!
@javenetti Why are you arguing about this? o__o Honestly, I'd rather Mulan not be a princess. She's the only female lead that actually did stuff- you know, being a kick butt soldier and all.
Mulan also seems to be the most popular (at least among my friends) for this very same reason. Although it's nice to dream and pretend to be a princess, having a strong role model like Mulan who takes action rather than sit around is more beneficial to young girls.
Pocahontas is native american so yeah. hispanic(whats "hispanic" anyway)/latino people mixed with either white,indigenous, or african. (sometimes even asian)
the reason why we never had a black princess before princess and the frog is because walt disney was quite racist, if you look on dumbo, all the white people have faces but look at the black workers? :|
i am quite happy there is a black princess:) tianas one of my favourite princess's now :') x
Ok riddle me this... when it comes to Mulan and Princess Tiana they will always have a girl that is the right ethnicity playing her, but when it comes to princess Jasmine or Pocahontas, its always a white chick :(
@smellyface101 True, true maybe its harder to find a the correct ethnicity who will commit. At least it works lol. Theres a company here who has disney princess come to your lil girls party as a guest and they have a white/black girl playing Tiana, u can guess how that looks.
@jpmpurrenhage the ethnicity I suggest is the right one (Arab or middle eastern)
Just because they have light skin doesn't mean any light skin person can play her. Most East Asians have white skin but its silly to suggest a Japanese person to play a middle eastern person. Skin colour as little to do with it.
@ringatink She was kind even though she wanted the prince for herself... tiana didn't even do that... she fell in love with the guy, her friend wanted...
@jobbeka okay but the whole movie was about tiana not her friend and her frnd only liked him for his looks. she did absolutly nothing to help the princess at all.
@mieroth i know have you seen the princess tiana dolls it just keeps on changing sometimes she is a really light color and sometimes she is darker like princess tiana in disney land is lighter then princess tiana here
As far as I can tell, there are only two right now: one in the Showboat Jubilee, and one doing meet and greets. That's totally normal, since the show performers have to be able to dance and sing, and the meet and greeters have to be able to do improv. Onstage characters aren't the same people as meet and greet characters.
Besides, if they had one guy doing three shows and lord-knows-how-many meet and greet sets a day, seven days a week, he'd be exhausted! ;)
no, its the same person who does meet and greets that does the show. went to it yesterday and they had to leave early so they could get ready to parade down frontierland towards the liberty belle.
well the gaps for meet and greets fits perfectly with the shows so they don't have to have people overlap. And yes I know its unusual but its even greater when the guest can interact with the character they just met and they too remember you back.
happened to me the other day with naveen. :) oh and there's only one prince naveen ;)
