Disney's Attempt to Create a New Kind of Role Model
I found an article pertaining to the short clip we watched prior to break in class. (about the young black children who chose a white doll over a black doll). Apparently, Disney is in the process of creating their "First Animated Black Princess Fairytale".
I actually think someone mentioned animated children's movies in class (and their bias towards white characters). Perhaps this will have a positive, mind altering, effect on young African American girls (and others for that matter) when it is released.
The plot sounds unique; it takes place in New Orleans.

I remember reading about this. I think that it is a good idea and they should try to get away from the stereotype of the white princess or fairytale of having all white characters. I think it is a step in the right direction for Disney and all other animations.
