What's cool about this is that I think this movie is going to be a historical film because they're bringing back 2D animation. And that makes me so happy!
I want to be an animator T-T and I thought that dream was gone! And now it's coming together again!
Naveen is suppost to be Latino but he's not from a real place so doesn't that mean he's not really Latino?
Naveen could have been our first Latino man charcter in Disney. All the others were dogs. Disney blew it by making him from lalaland. Like they always do.
They were not Latino. The movie wasn't even a whole Latino voice cast. All the people voiceing the cartoon charcters were white peolpe. I'm not sure if their was like one or two black people voiceing a charcter but I know that it wasn't a Latino cast doing it.
So what if the characters weren't voiced by actual Latinos, it's still a Latin story featuring Latino people. Aladdin was an Arabic story but I don't remember any of the characters being voiced by actual Arabian actors. The same can be said for Beauty and the beast, Hunchback of the Notre Dame, Hercules, etc.
In my opinion, they did not blow it by making him from lalaland. They wanted to go back to their princess roots. Latinos don't have any kind of monarchy of recent, so it would be hard to connect and they can't just add in some history that wasn't there (Pocahontas made that mistake and it pissed off a whole lot of people) so it makes perfect sense to me. Don't get so uptight it's a fun, romantic disney flick.
I agree with you whole-heartedly, I'm a Latina (Puerto rican and peruvian) and its true what you said, they wanted a prince so OF COURSE they couldn't use any real countries due to historical problems (They learned that from pochahontas, tho I really love that movie since I look like her a bit), I admired the fact that they created a language (sort of).....but yes, I agree. However, I hope that they will create a latina princess...I know it'll be hard to, but, a girl can dream right?
As a Brazillian, I really, truly, very much love the fact that Naveen's voiced by a Brazillian. Is it odd that I find him (and his accent) to be very sexy? Because I totally do.
Meh, I'm OK with him being from a made-up place. In reality, I don't really care where he's from, but I just thought it was kind of neat that he's voiced by a Brazilian guy, because (excluding Brazilian television, of course) I hardly ever see a Brazilian actor/ actress in any movie, and this guy is voicing a disney prince, so I kinda think its awesome. xD
I actually heard he's from a fictional place called Maldonia, or something like that, where the ethnicity seems to be a huge mixture of French, Brazillian, Latin, Indian, and God knows what else. :P
yeah, SallySonic you are so right! He is sexy maybe too sexy for being a Disney cartoon.Hey, is it weird to be falling in love with this guy when he's just a cartoon and the movie didn't even come out yet?
Yeah Naveen is way to dark to just be a white guy with a tan and the person voiceing Tiana said that Naveen was not white and Naveen is voiced my an Brazilain actor.
dude man... All I said is race is part of who we are (you know like if we're straight or gay). You're taking what I said way out of context. Don't be so judgmental okay?
Well, I guess this video confirms that the movie is indeed going to be hand drawn. I was worried about the animation at first cause I heard it would be paperless, and that made me afraid that that same "magic" wouldn't be there of knowing that all the characters you see are on moving paper drawn by talented artists. It might look the same, but it wouldn't be as special if it wasn't done the same way as before.
Dude... who cares what "race" the prince is? First off... he is penicil, ink and paint. Second, if he isn't the princess' race", it could be a lesson to others. Especially to those antsy black people who are closed minded, stick to their "own", are NEVER satisfyed and seem to have a huge stick up their arse. >>
who cares? he's a fictional cartoon character. besides that doesn't even matter. what's important is who he is as a person (or frog?), not something as superficial as his complexion or race.
I can feel another animated Disney crush coming on for me.... ;) although I have to admit, he kind of reminds me of Gaston. He's a lot cuter and smoother than Gaston, but just the way he acts is really similar.
I think its gonna be one of the funniest disneys movie i'll see, and i think prince naveen is funny as a frog! They did a really good job drawing the prince as a frog:)))))))) And i can't wait to see it at the movie.
How much do I LOVE that the first genuine royal prince in years (since the early Disney Renaissance) is a cocky, gregarious flirt? XD That's just... that's too much goodness. (As is his gorgeous, dynamic animation *swoon*)
And yes, Naveen's a show off, but he's worthy enough for me to swoon over anyhow. He's great! I just want to see how Tiana and Naveen's relationship grows. They're so cute together.... This movie is taking too long... Dx
no it's not just you cuz i was actually thinking about the exact same thing! and i think you forgot about the beast. he has quite a personality too, though not as prominent as naveen or aladdin's.

He has both his pros and his cons. If he didn't have any bad attributes, he'd be a rather dull 'prince'.

By that logic, does that mean Snow White, Ciderella, Aurora, and Ariel are not white because they're not from actual countries?
LucySanchez90 2 years ago 2
Well, Snow White was in Germany
Ciderella was Italian
Aurora was British
Ariel was in Denmark (or at least the original story was set there. I'm not sure.)
So I think that their still considered being white.
