Who cares about this.

Disney has no problem portraying everybody else's historical greatness except Africans - why not do something basedon an ancient African kingdom?

"Your archetypal white princes just painted black" - for real. Just looking at the drawing it's pain to see that this "princess" was drawn with european features. It may as well be a cartoon about Barbie for all I give a toss.
Because Disney is an American company.I'm glad our young girls will have something to look at that reflects them.



Hell if it was set in an African kingdom folks will moan about that.

Hell if it was an African Kingdom folks wouldn't moan about that.
Yes we would !

We would complain because the writer would likley be non-blackandwouldnt 'understand' the culture/struggle.

If the accents were supposedly 'off' we would complain about that as well. Which leads on to my next point

No doubt there will be anti-African American sentiments as well if they took up most/all of the voice jobs
