So I've been thinking about this upcoming Disney movie The Princess and the Frog a whole bunch and I am so torn I don't even know what to do with myself.
First, okay, I need to prepare myself for the RaceFail because, hello, it's Disney. ( Nothing you don't already know. )
Second, I am ANNOYED that partly I do feel grateful that this movie exists at all. Because, God help me, I am grateful. I am grateful that Disney has finally condescended to tell a story that has black people in it, at all, never even MIND that they're the main characters. Never mind that it only took them a zillion years. 2009 is way past time. ( My perspective on Disney movies and what they teach children. )
