It has been years since Disney has introduced us to a new Princess and Tiana is very special. She is the first African American Disney Princess and I say it is about time. Princess Tiana will make her debut in the new Disney Movie The Princess and The Frog which will come out November 2009.

I must also say that this Movie and Disney's New Princess does not come without a lot of strong opinions. I have read a lot of articles some say Disney is trying to be politically correct, Some wonder why her Prince (Naveen) is white, Others have a problem with the movie being set in New Orleans - I have also read some think the other characters in the movie are stereotyped.

Honestly my opinion is - WHO CARES!!! I think Disney has created another wonderful movie that will make many children happy in the Magical way only they can. I say get over it, grab your popcorn and get lost in a Fairytale - life is too short.

My husband always hates when I tell him the voices behind the Animated Characters, but I am going to spoil it right here - sorry.
