No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
The Princess and The Frog is already generating responses, many of them negative,

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Easy fix, just make the prince european, then you have an inter-racial couple. Everyone wins! (?) (yeah, that would work!)

Very true!
And when it comes to most of the Internet community, you can't please ANYONE.
Re: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
People are NEVER satisfied!
the first stories had Tiana named Maddy, a poor girl from the poor side of town. and people didn't like it. so Maddy turned into Tiana, from a better side of town. and people still dont like it. It's a STORY, morons, they are not making fun of people or life styles. or EVER Disney movie would have to go in to the trash. I hate they have to PC ever farkin thing they do these days so sensitive whiners will stop crying all the time. the poor Disney writers are prolly going bald from listening to all the complaints about Disney stuff.
and people wonder why we are getting stupid direct to video videos now.
thank GOD there are no GREEN people....

Re: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
How many little girls will actually embrace Tiana as a Disney Princess though? Only the black community? You think many moms will go and and buy a black doll for their Caucasian daughters? Would they point out how beautiful she is? I admit, being of neither of those races, I would not be able to say.
Yes there are varying girls of other cultures and ethnicities in the Princess line, but I tend to think Tiana will be something completely different in the eyes of parents and little girls.
A CP friend of mine owns and adores her Addy, her afro-american American Girls doll - she herself not being afro american. I admit I was a little surprised.

I sure hope that all little girls and their parents will find her beautiful. I think the definition of beautiful has expanded for most people.Sarah Magdalene wrote:How many little girls will actually embrace Tiana as a Disney Princess though? Only the black community?

Even better than beautiful if she is intelligent and kind. :)

Re: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
I used to date a girl who was a Psych major. I helped her study exactly once. We were going over a section of a text book where the author was explaining that little boys often hear "you're so smart!" whenever they do anything remotely intelligent while little girls are more likely to hear "she's so pretty!" as people's initial reaction to them. The author said that people/parents should try to make sure that little girls hear both equally otherwise it becomes a one-sided conversation in the child's head and pretty, obviously, tends to outweigh smart which leads to all sorts of "abnormal psych" stuff like body image issues and such as well as girls feeling more insecure about, and doing worse in, school than boys. As I'm a big jerk, this immediately lead to me telling my girlfriend, quite frequently "You're so pretty... Oh, and I guess you're smart, too!" :twisted:DisneyMom wrote:I sure hope that all little girls and their parents will find her beautiful.

Re: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
LOL, Kwahati. Sounds like even more important than intelligence and beauty is a good sense of humor! ;)
