i’ve actually seen some of the roughs of the character. because they were pencil sketches, i can’t tell whether she was light-skinned or dark-skinned, but she got the big, generic cartoon “black folks” hair – it could be a bountiful natural or somethin, but it ain’t quite a fro. on second review, i think she gonna be pretty brown. not dark-dark, but brown-brown. we’ll see tho. these sketches are from back when she was maddy

I have correct a few things…

1. Sleeping Beauty did have a mother and a father in the Disney movie. They sent her away to protect her from the curse the evil witch had placed upon her in infancy.

2. Mulan not only had a mother, but a grandmother as well. The grandmother was the one who gave her the cricket and set her up with the town matchmaker.

This latest Disney movie will be interesting. We have to keep in mind that Disney cannot possible represent all black folks in one 90 minute movie. Most kids will look for a good story, snazzy songs, and unusual characters.

You know, there is no end to the dysfunctions of Disney princesses. The Feminists have pretty much nailed it; you will find of all the Disney girls, not one of them, not one, has anything approaching a normal mother.

Little Mermaid: no mother
Cinderella: no mother, evil stepmother
Snow White: no mother, evil witch
Beauty & The Beast: no mother, dopey father
Sleeping Beauty: no mother, three good fairies, one evil fairy, uncaring father
Pocahantas: her ‘mother’ is a tree.
Jasmine (Aladdin): no mother, doting idiot father
Mulan: I think Mulan actually did have a mother, but was guided by a dragon fairy.

You cannot expect any Disney princess to have anything but an abstract family. All of these homes are broken, which is part of the point. Nobody really asks who Robin Hood’s mother or father is. Expect no family values.
