As amazing as Pixar family-friendly flicks go, there’s something to be said for the quaint charms of 2-D animation. So the dream merchants over at Walt Disney Studios deserve props for returning to the literal drawing board with The Frog and the Princess.
Due for release next year, the movie also marks the first Disney animated flick to feature an African-American princess. The story is set in New Orleans’ French Quarter and boasts a jazzy score by Randy Newman.
But take a gander at its newly released trailer and tell me there’s not something just a wee bit, well, racist about the toothless bug who pops up.
Who’s the voice talent for this flick, anyway? Michael Richards?
Somewhere, Uncle Remus is smiling.
