Has there ever been a Black film with a magical Anglo??

In light of recent events

Standard Black Family having random issues.

Out of nowhere magical Anglo shows up, dispenses homespun wisdom, and everyone changes their moves and the day is saved?

Other than white savior movies I can’t think of one. I thought I had one with The Proud Family, but ol girl was black.

It's similar to what @Jaguar93 mentioned; typically, the role of the white savior in movies lacks the magic or supernatural elements.

Not a black film, but the main family in Exorcist Believer was black. They did a multicultural exorcism kinda. The head catholic priest was white.

I don't think that really counts. This is a tough one let me think

Golden Child had a mystical Chinese kid.

Down to Earth had an old dead white guy posses Chris Rock's body.

Still iffy on if these qualify

Edit: I got Down to Earth backwards because I remember the old white guy dancing to the Ruff Ryders Anthem.

Aight here's one but its still shaky

Whistler in Blade. If the term is being all knowing and wise and not having super powers then this one counts.

Yeah Whistler also dies to kinda save Blade or fuel his growth.

With a "magical" white person of British descent?

Wouldn't that be the white savior movies like the one where Sean Connery was like "You're the man, dawg!"?

Magical negroes usually help white people get over their problems in movies. The Sean Connery movie would be an equivalent to that.

Also, white savior movies in general are "magical white people" saving the non-whites.

White Saviors aren’t Magical Negroes

White savior and magical negro are not the same tropes

Peter Gambi from Black Lightning comes to mind but its a show.
