I don't think Disney knows how to depict black people in one of their movies because there are so many different ways black people can be depicted. There is no one way to tell a story using us. I think the answer to that would be to simply have other animated movies with black people. There are hundreds (I think) of Disney films and other animated movie companies who have made films based on whites so there pretty much is no one way white people have been depicted other than through using old european ways of life. (english, french, etc.) So, if one segment of the black population feels that this movie doesn't capture what they would want blacks to be characterized as, then perhaps the next movie made based on us could reflect their preferred characterization. The more movies that are made, the more choices we will have.
