<p> </p><p> </p><p>Disney’s The Princess And The Frog will hit theatres this Christmas. The trailer looks pretty good. The plot goes a little something like this:</p><p>When the free-spirited, jazz-loving Prince Naveen of Maldonia (Bruno Campos) comes to town a deal with a shady voodoo doctor goes bad and the once suave royal is turned into a frog. In a desperate attempt to be human again, a favor in exchange for a fateful kiss on the lips from the beautiful girl, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose), takes an unexpected turn and leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana to the banks of the almighty Mississippi and back in time for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. An unforgettable tale filled with music, humor and heart where two frogs—along with the help of a 200-year-old voodoo priestess, a love-sick Cajun firefly, and a trumpet-playing alligator—discover that what they want isn’t as important as what they need.</p><p>Before the movie began filming drawing there was controversy about stereotypes portrayed in the film. Why New Orleans? Why voodoo? What’s with the snaggletooth firefly? Why is the prince hispanic? Is it like all the other fairytales or is there a clear distinction between the black princess and the white princesses? and our personal question, Do these differences make a difference or are they okay? Something to think about…</p>
