Soul I can understand because he lost his body and was a spirit but in the Princess and the Frog Tiana didn't have to be a frog. The original story the Princess wasn't a frog.

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

We know why

Now watch a bunch of white people pretending to be black come in here an try to rationalize this.

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Agreed, let us be black the entire damn film, please

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I saw both op has a point

but what about Luca and Coco? Protagonists aren’t black

That's not "marketable "

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

That's not "marketable "

they’d have to change the poster for China & just have the title logo with no nikkas

Your second sentence dismisses the thread title.


It’s not about 2 or 3 white (or other) characters that changed into something else. It’s about the blatant lack of black characters who can remain black characters until the end of the movie.

[concise]

They just started to feature black characters after about 90 or so years. You'll probably have to wait another 50 years for that.

 

[How Sway?]

Come on man

Why you think that both their movies set in Africa were about talking animals and a white man raised by animals?

True...black kids need more options though. Animation is an alternative medium to be used

no nikkas for more than 30 mins

Our Target audience can't watch more than an episodes length of nikkas on screen
