I'm assuming you mean Tarzan?

I think it is because they have already done Princesses of all other major ethnicity. Bunch of white ones, one Amerindian one, a Asian one (yes I know that Mulan strictly speaking isn't a princess, but she is counted as one of them) and even an Arab one.

I wasn't even thinking Tarzan, more like Lion King.

Belle, you just made my day! I let out a huge squeal. I can't wait! Now I have two reasons to go back to MK (my least favorite park right now). The new president added to Hall of Presidents and Princess Tiana's show!

As to what difference does it make that she's black...


I guess in a way it's not that important and it is just a cartoon. But it's nice to see someone that looks like you take centerstage. Especially when it's very rare that it occurs. I don't suppose you'd know what that's like EW (Invisible Knapsack).
