My mother, sister, nieces and I are Disney fanatics. We love everything and anything Disney. It started at very young age when my mother would take us to Walt Disney World during Christmas break. So naturally, we were excited to hear there was a new Disney movie with a brand new Princess. Since the last time we had a Disney Princess was Mulan in 1998. However, this Disney Princess is “unique”. Princess Tiana is the first African-American Disney Princess!!! It took 220 years for us to get a Black President and it took 73 years for us to get a Black Disney Princess, Better late than Never ; )
The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated family film loosely based on E. D. Baker’s novel The Frog Princess, which was in turn inspired by the Grimm brothers’ fairy tale “The Frog Prince“. It is the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics line. Tiana, the main character, is also notable as Disney’s first African-American princess. The film opened in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25, 2009, and released in wide on December 11, 2009. On February 2nd, 2010, the film received three Academy Award nominations: one for Best Animated Feature and two for Best Original Song.
