The Princess and the Frog

[meganbmoore]

Ok, O Mighty F-List Who Knows All, the following is what I know about this upcoming Disney movie:

1.  It's an adaptation of The Frog Prince.
2.  It's Disney doing 2D animation
3.  It has a black heroine
4.  It's set in New Orleans, presumably at some point in the past.

Anyway, apparently there is some sort of huge controversy over it?  Can anyone fill me in?

Also, does anyone know when it's coming out?

What I meant with Nala is that I don't think anyone could ever "read" her as white (though there are people baffled as to why we can't see some cast members as white, so I could be wrong about that) but I think it ended up coming out very badly. I may also have a stronger tendency to read a lot of talking animal characters as some variety person representative than most people have.
