I was having a discussion the other day with one of my white friends about Disney movies. Since the late 80's Disney movies have seemed to make an effort to show movies based from different countries/cultures. Eg:
Beauty and the Beast-France
Aladdin-Middle East
Pocahontas-Native American
Mulan-Asian
even Lilo and Stitch-Hawainn
Anyway, I mentioned that I thought Disney seemed to avoid using black/African descendant characters. Only last year, In Hearts of Atlantis, did we finally see a black character in a Disney movie(and a supporting character at that). And the one movie that did use Africa as a setting (Lion King) used animals as their characters. She thought maybe I was reading too deep into things.
Is this URP?
