Disney's First Black Princess
 

This is very cool, but a long time coming. The movie is coming out in 2009. I wonder who is going to be the voices. I hope it gets the same reception as other Disney animated movies. It is going to be traditional animation, so it is going to be interesting to see how it is received.

will J-Hud's 15 minutes of fame be extended?

i think they could all be in the movie, there are enough roles to go around. im having a hard time seeing who would play what...

Hmmm...maybe i need to put her on my fafarazzi team.

I heard this on the radio and I think it's great...but I hate Jennifer Hudson so if she's voicing it, I won't see it.

I'm not a fan either....

I am glad that a "real" animated movie is coming out.... esp. since it's been awhile since Disney last released one. I'd be interested to see how it turns out, because it seems all of the other Disney "princesses" were based on fairy tales (Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Jasmine, Tinkerbell...) and this storyline isn't an old fairytale per se (at least not to my knowledge.. it might be a folk tale in other parts of the country)

It seems like this might be another version of Cinderella maybe? The chambermaid has a fairy godmother and she ends up marrying the prince.... the debutante chick throws a fit because she wanted to marry the prince...maybe the voodoo lady turned the chambermaid into a frog? and the prince kisses the frog?

I think it sounds awesome. I intend to drag someone to see it with me :p

Really?...Why so? I mean its cool that you are untitled to your opinion but I just never heard of anyone that hated J.Hudson. :)
Not because she great or anything but she is really not a controversy icon.

Sounds good to me.

It could be based on the Russian fairytale which also has Greek and Italian versions or a variation of Grimm’s “The Frog Prince”.

Jennifer Hudson weighs too much for me. How about Beyonce (post weight-loss)?

What's wrong with Jennifer Hudson weighing too much? I think it is awesome that there is finally a girl with curves in the spotlight! If I see another picture of an anorexic celeb, I'm going to scream!

This movie really doesn't sound very princessy to me. And they put it in New Orleans, it would mean a lot more to me had they done it in Africa because they do have princesses there.

But, I'll take what I can get...I really want to see someone who looks like me be a Disney princess! (As long as Beyonce is in no way shape or form involved with the project and no one in the movie is referred to as Mammy or named Jemima! Missus, however is acceptable!)

Very rarely does someone leave me with so much to say that I'm dumbfounded. I feel like Jennifer Hudson at an Old Country Buffet. Now I must go out and convince some non-panty wearing anorexic MAW to come see my great view.

J-Hud isnt really "fat," she's just really booby. specially since she's always got them out and about

i mean she's no stick, but if you get rid of the boobs, or reduce them a bit, she may not seem as huge.

I agree! I may not be black, but for years I've been thinking that Disney should do an animated film set in Africa, with PEOPLE and a proper African princess. Not lions, warthogs and meerkats (though Lion King was good).
