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?

I second this. Disney generally does do a good job of making sure the VAs are ethnic--all the Mulan VAs were at least Asian, and most of them were Chinese (I know the emperor (Pat Morita) was an exception, and Eddie Murphy of course, though I'm not sure who else).
