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?

Does anyone else have a problem with the first black Disney princess being a "chambermaid?"

I also thought that was kind of strange...
Also, just a wild guess, but is the "debutante" girl going to be white? The Prince is described as European, and the villain is African-American and a "voodoo" doctor. Talk about stereotypes.
It's kind of ridiculous that it took this long for Disney to have a black princess, though.

Maddy is Disney's first ANIMATED black princess. Elton John's Aida was produced by Disney (at least at one point), and Aida is a Nubian princess.
This storyline actually sounds an eensy weensy like Aida, IMHO...just replace the debutante with Amneris (princess and future pharoah) and the European prince with Radames (Amneris' fiance).
ETA: Disney's "Princess" collection actually includes non-royalty. Right now, I can only think of Mulan, but there might be another one.

Tinkerbell is in the princess collection, and sometimes Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Maid Marian from Robin Hood.

I'm pretty sure Brandy would be considered Disney's first non-animated black princess. Link: Cinderella (1997)

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

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.
