  • It's cool that they finally had a black princess, but why is this such a big deal? What about Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan? I don't remember people going "OMG first arabian/native american/chinese disney princess!!!".

    It's not important what color her skin is as long as it fits the story, and the time and place where it is set.

    Also, I don't think kids care about her color. For them she's just a beatiful princess.

  • @tehzoh You know, some people say that when you are anonymously posting poison and trash, it is not a true picture of who you are; but I think it is the other way around. A person can say exactly what he or she wants to, for there is no physical repercussion. No one is going to hit you, and you have not done anything serious enough to interest the police. But there is someone that you are hurting... someone real, with feelings and a heart. Look in the mirror. Yes. You.

  • I ate lunch in Cinderellas Castle at Disney World, and while your eating the disney princesses come by to take pics with you and when the black princess came by I told her shes not a real princees and her mexican prince and her need to go lol the look on her face was hilarious lol:)

  • What is the big deal about this princess? No girl whether white or black likes to play with black dolls. Princess Tiana doll is the one mostly left behind on store counters.

  • I waited my WHOLE life for her. And that's why it's such a big deal. It took FOREVER for a black princess to arrive in the Disney Princess Lineup. The fact that she's black is more significant to older viewers. I'd say 12+. most kids under that have the opportunity to grow up with her. We didn't. It seemed like they stopped making princesses movies when our childhood was coming to an end. Now all we need is a Latin/Spanish princess =D
