Princess and the Frog movie Controversy

So why is it all of a sudden I am checking out information online about Disney's new film "Princess and the Frog" and people are bashing how the little innocent cartoon characters love interest is caucasian. Are we really at a point where people just do not like interracial relationships? Come on now some of the best celebrities are in interracial marriages or relationships and they are doing well. I mean I understand the fact as an African American young woman myself that people are still dealing with the acceptance of those kind of relationships. I mean haven't we evolved at least for now. I mean she's a cartoon character for god sakes! LOL (Laughing out loud for you non text lingo people). I don't understand that what Disney is trying to do is educate the young minds of America on the love is really blind and that society has changed so much in the last fifty or sixty years especially in the media. She's too adorable to have people bashing her because she's dating a prince whos white. I think its sad because of the best celebrities and people of my generation and the generation before me are products of interracial relationships. Give it a rest people. Wake up and take a taste of the chocolate and vanilla swirl okay? I really think this is about fun for children. They probably don't even notice the meaning or what the images are really projecting. I mean I never had a problem sitting there watching "Pocahontas" and thinking ..."Oh why is Pocahontas dating someone who is white?" It never phased me I was enjoying the film and having fun. That's all that matter to me. I believe the music, the characters, and the film itself are going to be something that the children will treasure for years to come. They won't be fixated on that actually. So in my opinion take your babies to see the movie.

Update 1/13/2010: I just bought my very own Tiana doll. She was $20.00 dollars at the St.Louis airport so I guess I'm a Princess Tiana fan lolz I'm too old to be. But she's adorable. I plan to dress like her if not for Halloween on my wedding day it will be a "Princess and the Frog" theme which would be perfect. Chloe kissed a whole bunch of frogs and got her prince! LMAO! I can't wait one day lol we'll see. But for now I can't wait to see the movie its been out for a month already. I gotta see it soon. =)
