^^^^ That's one reason I love the Lemony Snicket books.

I <3 Lemony Snicket. I finally got to read The End :) Such a weird set of stories that repeatedly crush your hopes that something good will happen.

OMG, you heartless creatures!!!!!! What happened to the good old days where we sat around holding hands and eating cotton candy made with rainbows and smiles?????????

I'm still holding out that The Little Mermaid is an extended version of Act I of Othello. The whole dark haired man falls for the fair young woman who falls in love with him while listening to him talk but her father doesn't approve......yeah, you're not slick Anderson, I caught that. :cool:

Never ever thinking there was danger in the water
They were drinking and just guzzling it down
Never dreaming that a scheming sheriff and his posse
Were watching them and gathering around!

:p

Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest
Jumpin' fences dodgin' trees and trying t'get away
Contemplatin' nothin' but escape an' finally makin' it
Ooh de lally ooh de lally golly what a day.

Ooh de lally ooh de lally golly what a day :D

I love that damn song!

:D
/can challenge anyone, anywhere to a Disney song Throwdown

You are totally on!

Alright then, finish the song, smartypants:)

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
We may not have a dime....

Disney's First Black Princess... um "Disney's" first thats for sure
 

Ladies
To acknowledge the fact that Africa was and is home to royalty, is to admit that it had and still has culture, art, wealth and beauty, politics and education... and we can't have that now can we, because what will be the excuse for slavery... segregation and discrimination against Africans and their descendants... so we must start the story with servitude because slavery is where history began for African Americans at least that’s where it begins in the American text books... need I say more.

Shut up.

:o my bad :p But as it was mentioned before, sometimes she hangs out w/ the Disney princess crew :D

But I've got street savoire faire.

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city,
But once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown..

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just a bebopulation
And I got street savoire faire...
I'm sorry, but I disagree that this is ignoring African culture. It does seem like it will focus on African American culture in general and creole culture in particular, however seeing that as a default ignorance of Africa itself is imposing your predisposed notions on the matter. You can always criticize a writer for not doing something differently. Is any writer who writes a fantasy set in America somehow failing because they did not set it in Africa? Sometimes stories just go where they go. Are they at fault for setting in in New Orleans and not Georgia? What about Chicago? Why not the Caribbean?

As a Disney cast member, I need to point out that you are correct: Tinkerbell is not considered a princess. She is a Fairy, along with Flora, Fauna and Merriweather.

(Believe it or not, cast members are tested on this trivia... Disney takes this minutiae very seriously).

Hey, Disney's first East Asian "princess" wasn't royalty either and nobody really cares...people were only complaining about cultural inaccuracies. They could very well have used another famous Chinese tale about the moon lady/goddess, Shang Ngo, but in the story, she ends up living on the moon by with only a rabbit and a Gaston-like woodcutter while her husband is still on earth.
