I think changing the name from Maddie (The complaints I read noted that Maddie sounds a bit too similar to "Mammy"...and oh do we hate that stereotype) to Tiana is a good change. Tiana not only sounds more "ethnic" but also more regal and calls the image of a tiara, perfect for a princess.
I did not have a problem with title "The Frog Princess". I think that they were REALLY reaching for something to dislike with this gripe. But I do like the change of title though.
I doubt that any intentional racist statements will be made in the film. But there will be criticism, as seen with Aladdin. But overall, despite my slight apprehension, this is promising and damn it...these stills are GORGEOUS!
So good luck to Disney!
Bad decisions by Disney. Am I the only one who misses the old princesses? New Orleans is boring.
Religiously and due to the negative connections most people make with it I think the voo doo thing is a bit much as well. Just stick to regular magic and it would've been just fine.
Other than those two things I would've been over joyed to see the movie.
Secondly :Is there ever "regular magic?" What exactly do you mean by "regular magic." Nothing is "regular" in a Disney movie. Animals talking, people flying with or without a carpet, pumpkins changing into carriages, a kiss that pretty much brings you back from the dead. Tell me what is "regular" about those things. Don't answer, because nothing is regular about it. They are all a part of this fantasy world that usually only children or open minded individuals enjoy. Voodoo is a way of life. It can't be ignored just because people like yourself don't agree with it. A Disney movie HAS to have some sort of magic and it turns out that voodoo has yet to be touched upon. There are certain things that NEED to be brought up so that people are informed in a more positive way.
And as for New Orleans. I'd like it if people stopped thinking about Hurricane Katrina and started thinking about how historical the place is. Yes, we can't ignore the fact that the city was destroyed. But, its history wasn't. Aren't we working on rebuilding and bringing it back? If that's the case, we shouldn't be complaining about it getting recognition in a movie.
Case in point why is a white man playing the role as the prince (fog)?
A Black man has never played the love interest in an Disney movie to a white woman, because white people don't want their children thinking that a black person is a prized catch.
And AK2009, why would you say that "white people don't want their children thinking that a black person is a prized catch."? That isn't even true, it's an awful stereotype.
I am an 18 year old redhead and have always been attracted to black guys. My boyfriend is Jamaican and we've been together for over a year.
Even though I don't think it matters AT ALL what 'color' the prince is, I'm actually happy that the princess is black and the prince is white because we need to see more support for interacial couples out there in the world. I'm excited that they've brought out this kind of movie and plus, it's JUST A CARTOON guys.
And about the voodoo thing magic is magic which is both wrong but its also a theme in all Disney movies. Voodoo is a prominent form of witchcraft in that part of the country, when you go to visit its everywhere being sold and marketed so get over this. in Aladdin it was Genie magic, in the Little Mermaid it was Sea witch voodoo magic imo, in Cinderella it was Fairy Godmother chanting spells magic and so on and so forth. Disney is just trying to diversify its magic handbook.
As for the name and other changes...Psah... NO need. really? its the 1930's, Personally? I like Maddie - fits the era. Tiana???...and not being a chambermaid? c''mon Cinderella a WHITE girl was one...Look while we're at it might as well be like the Japanese and rewrite history right? sterilize it as it were to suit today's sensibilities....really? Yes the name and position etc.. is demeaning and such...but without hardships the ending then what? we're watching an animated version of J-Lo's "Maid in Manhattan"...Yawn bore...I predict with more appeasements this will be a flop.. ever heard of "too many cooks spoiled the soup"..? .yeah well it applies here. I fully support the ORIGINAL artistic vision the director has(had)...
PS has ANYONE who is complaining about the movie,voodoo, EVER considered that this might BOOST New Orleans tourism business and help revive/rebuild the community...? Sheesh...
I am, however, upset that Disney has chosen a traditional European fairy tale in which to feature their first Black princess. The Princess and the Frog is none other then a retitled version of an old story called The Frog Prince. It was written by a Caucasian with Caucasian characters in mind.
When Disney made the movie Mulan, based on an old Chinese story, they never changed the story so they could use a Caucasian as the main character. Disney also never drew a Caucasian character to play Pocahontas. Why alter a tradtional European fairy tale, so a Black character can play its lead?
Disney should have chosen a traditional African fairy tale in which to feature a Black princess, so the story would remain authentically true.
Part of me says "color shouldn't really matter, I honestly don't register things like 'Hey, a black/Asian/Inuit/Middle Eastern/etc. character!' People are people."
But the more realistic side of me knows that there is a huge difference between having a white princess and a black princess, in American film especially. If only the years of horrible treatment to blacks in America never occurred, this wouldn't be such a big issue. This event (having a black princess) isn't only about diversification of products and giving a positive role model that looks more like young black girls/women (though that part is good!). It is also land-marking a triumph in the continuous change of the mindsets of, basically, people who still see blacks on a lower social and even sometimes economical level. A lot of times this mindset isn't intentionally racist/prejudice/stereotypical -- it's just an old, incorrect viewpoint from past generations that has continued to live on.
A black Disney princess is sort of like having a black president. Like, Obama being black doesn't make him any more or less of a president, but it's just an awesome thing to get over that. Even Republicans [should] at least rejoice that America has hurtled race as an issue (well, a deciding issue) in electing a Commander and Chief. (Not that this really matters: I'm neither a Republican nor Democrat, btw. Politics piss me off with all the negativity and lies. I'm just too impatient to search through it.)
Issues:
-Maddie vs. Tiana -- I can see how the name "Maddie" is both historically accurate and stereotypical/insensitive. It's like a generic black girl name from that time frame. I don't really like "Tiana" either, but that's just a personal preference. Just like how I'm not a fan of "Giselle." Bleh. Anyway.
-Locale -- I disagree with the whole point of view of New Orleans being a bad locale for the movie. Before Katrina, many people's thoughts turned to the French Quarter and Cajun culture when thinking of New Orleans (some people still think of that, not just the hurricane!). I think the Jazz Age is also great (fun music, great colors and fashion). I've had my fill of medieval-esque era fairy tales which are usually VERY historically inaccurate (marrying for love? Yea, right.).
-The prince -- I think it would be better if he were black. Like, let's not stop at just a black princess, how about a black couple. Latino would be better than white, though I am a fan of the interracial aspects... :)
Oh, and when I saw that firefly, I did think it was pretty bad. But hopefully kids will just see that as a dopey firefly instead of anything else.
-Title -- Okay, if it was based after a story titled "The Frog Princess", then I feel like it that should have been fine, but I doubt many people would know that fact offhand (I myself thought it was based after "The Frog Prince") so I understand how it makes the Princess sound like she's a frog.
-Voodoo -- Heck, I'm excited to learn more about it! Disney has already semi-introduced it with Tia Dalma (sp?) in Pirates of the Caribbean II & III, and I didn't hear anyone respond to that use of Voodoo with distaste. I trust that Disney will touch upon Voodoo with good taste (they treated Chinese culture and American Indian culture respectfully in Mulan and Pocahontas, respectively). And it's not like Voodoo is being brought up in some random place like Boston. It's New Orleans! Like someone mentioned, there's lots of Voodoo shops and places there!
Haha, I done with my [long] spiel.
I just wish people would realize that organizations like BET, etc. and individuals are not bringing up sensitivity to race issues for no reason. Racism is not dead, unfortunately and white people are usually either the last to find such out or /are/ the racists. Lame.
And when it comes to voodoo maybe it's just getting back to the roots of African Americans, especially in New Orleans. After all, in Pocahontas they had a lot about spirits, especially nature having spirits which is some thing the Native American culture embraces. Isn't that the same thing? Most white fairy tales are based around European ideas. For instance the magic- dragons, fairy godmothers, etc. Wouldn't that be whites going back to their roots? Maybe they thought it would be offensive for movie featuring a black princess to be based on European magic. Or maybe they didn't even mean any thing by it.
As for the title. The Princess and the Frog is definitely more fitting. And I rather like the name Maddie. I think it's adorable. But, that's just me. Regardless, I'm looking forward to Tiana being our newest addition to the Disney Princesses.
The African American community needs to calm down and realize that not everything is meant as a slight. Disney has just realized that it was high time to have a black lead character (which I agree, should have been done way before this), so instead of being insulted and angry, take it a s a good sign of Disney finally stepping forward. After all if it's true to past Disney movies, the girl gets the prince at the end and lives happily ever after. How can that be bad?
This board alone shows the still wide gap of racial understanding America faces... an angry African-American community that can't effectively articulate why they're upset to a majority that just wishes - without addressing them - that the complaints would just go away.
Never-mind the minstrel show crows of Dumbo - an unbelievable insult to an entire generation of African Americans - or the fact Disney hopes to re-release their embarrassing Song of the South.
The truth is Disney faces extreme internal politics and creative stagnation, falling stock value and revenues, and a decreasing public interest in their 2D animation. I'm sure they were trying their best whit this, but they could have done better. They could have chosen any story in the world, made the story take place anywhere... it's a cartoon, there's no cost difference in a story set in the Arctic or on the moon... but it doesn't take a marketing genius to know to avoid New Orleans as a story backdrop!
i completely agree with you MR. BURNETT
Amazing you have a group of people (African) have been on this earth 1-5 million years and some how we don't have any stories.
i give disney props. as a current teen, i grew up without a disney princess that looked like me, but i must admit it didnt bother me. i didnt know better. i grew up in a community densely populated by whites, it was normal. but having no one that looked like me to reference was still hard and i say again, way to wake up disney.
did i have a problem with the original title? no, its a title. its not like it said the ugly nego toad princess. its the frog princess, which she turns into. duh. so anyone with that issue needs to chill.
did i have a problem with her name? no. and those of you complaining that it sounds too much like 'mammy', you're looking for something to complain about. you're really stretching your imagination to believe disney is that racist.
those who had problems with the location, my goodness come on. come on. louisiana, mardi gra, and of course hurrican katrina. did anyone think this wasnt degrading? but reminding us of the granduer that was new orleans. ever think its a tribute to the people who were forever changed?
and the occupation haters? pleeeeease. its disney's claim to fame, the classic almost cliche rags to riches story. if she started out in the palace with money and the guy, we'd be at the 'happily ever after' not the 'once upon a time'
why is the opening firefly toothless? really come on now? is this not just reinforcing a hokey, broke down, and ignorant stereotypical black folk the country has seen before? if its not rappers and gold chains its toothless and brainless?
and another thing thats been touched upon quite a bit, the issue of the princes race. while in life i think, go ahead, marry whoever you wanna marry love whoever you wanna love. but there is that tinge, that uncomfortable feeling, with disney portraying an interracial couple for the first time they have a black princess isnt the best idea. there is already the stereotype that black men dont take care of their families, that black men arent responsible, and that black men dont want black women. the reinforcement of this idea by disney isnt exactly what should be conveyed. we need a boost in our community and setting up our disney princess with a latino, is an unnecessary abberation.
i do see the other side.
the toothless fly at the beginning? really? really? was it necessary? must this country be drilled yet again with the image of the ignorant, dirty, and toothless black folk? if its not grills and chains its bayous and no teeth and no brains being portrayed to this country,
So can everyone see why this subject is so delicate? Why Disney hasn't had a black Princess as of yet? Look at the punishment they're taking!
Its not a big deal... Its a movie a fun children's movie... They main character is Beautiful...i mean she may be a froggy for a while but hey... ITS A MOVIE ... A FUNNY DISNEY MOVIE... more culture more beauty....
cool your shorts....
I think this is crazy changing her name because it sound to much like mammy lol I could fall on the floor laughing Does Cinderella, Aurora, or Ariel sound like a name anyone would name a child I don't think so, That is what makes them fairy tails. I do have to say that Maddie is a BEAUTIFUL name and is a very common name(Maddison) I am very happy Disney is making a African American movie. We all know disney has come along way and has opened its eyes to all nationality's from Aladdin to Pocahontas to Mulan and now The Frog Princess opps that's too racy I mean The Princess Frog LOL
Before you start picking apart disney read the book the frog princess!!!!!!!
I think Disney wouldn't have been picked apart so much it it had been a story from African decent.
After all in countless interviews until he died, D.W. Griffith never understood why blacks didn't like his Birth of a Nation film. He was saddened that they didn't praise him and just deal with his film.
When a race or rather a culture has been the butt of jokes and of mockery for so long, its rightfully so to have your guard up to make sure you are not again tormented by the sterotype of images that will haunt you and the generations that are to follow.
Not uptight just cautious.
I think many are concerned because in the past Disney did show images that showed blacks as less then human, as he apparently believed they were. Maybe they are making up for past wrongs, but with all the marketing money and broadcast brains you think they could have picked a movie that didn't cause ANY complaints. It's not that hard to do!

I hope that Disney will make a great film and keep in mind of how big of a deal this is. Growing up I remember for Halloween I once went as a Disney princess, and having white children tell me that I can't be Belle from Beauty and the Beast or any Disney Princess because I am black. With this new black princess my little sister and other little girls will see that anyone can be a princess and be exposed to a history or culture other than their own such as Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Believe it or not American children are raised with Disney as an integral part of entertainment in their everyday lives.
In the end, come on. I have to agree with just about everybody on this board so far--it's a movie, not a social statement. Anything with singing frogs should not be taken in any political or cultural venue. What happened to stories just being told for the heck of it?
Let's consider that for the prince and princess before we make assumptions
But while I'm happy about the movie coming out, I'm a little disturbed at the controversy surrounding it.
First of all--the "FINALLY!" I keep hearing. Yes, Disney needed a black princess. Yeah, they could have animated her a LOT sooner. But Disney also brought us (admittedly not culturally correct versions, but they tried) a Chinese heroine, an Arabian heroine, and an American Indian heroine. I'm a little confused--are we ignoring some of these other heroines? Or was the black princess supposed to come first? Because that's what I feel like the issue is--by my reading, people seem to be insulted that Tiana didn't appear before, say, Mulan. Seriously, what? Why? What barometer are we supposed to be reading that tells us whose "race" comes first in making Disney movies? Are we using the American population? Do we have to segment it and dole out our Princesses in order of Biggest Diverse Group (then where's our Latino princess? Our lesbian princess?)? Or are we going by order of Most Suffering (where's our Jewish princess?). I'm not happy Disney waited so long, either, but that doesn't mean the company hasn't paid at least SOME attention to diversity.
Second--the fairy tale. "The Frog Princess" is, actually, a "Frog Prince" variant. The Princess in that tale does, indeed, turn into a frog. I don't know the details, but I'd imagine that Disney's main idea was to bring a strong heroine to the forefront. You know, a girl who might get into a scrape, and then get out of it, all by using her own brains and cunning. I think that's a fine story. A great story. A much better story than the original "Frog Prince" anyway (that princess is a bit of a jerk). The title change? I'll agree that it sounds nicer, but the other stories based off of well-known fairy tales DID keep their titles. "The little mermaid" was based off of "The little mermaid." And so on. (exceptions: "Mulan" wasn't a well known story in America prior to the animation, and Pocahontas was a historical figure). A dumb point, but it bugged me.
Third--What on earth were they thinking with the trailer (ok, this hasn't been any controversy I've SEEN, but *I* noticed it)? Maybe I'm more Puritanical than I thought, but I caught a whiff of wayyy too much sexuality in one small nugget of time. How much more suggestive could this prince be in a kid's movie? Oh well, at least he has a character (better than Prince Charming and That-Dude-Ariel-Married,Whatever-His-Name-Was). And so far nothing looks quite as bad as that nasty guy's song in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (I was horrified when I watched that again as a teenager).
So yeah, some awkward trailer stuff, and I don't understand some of the uproar. It seems to be defeating Disney's purpose in making this movie.
I'm looking forward to enjoying it in theaters though. Tiana's design looks like one of Disney's best!
Next, if Disney doesn't put their new "Frog Princess" with the other princesses together on much of their princess merchandise then we will boycott disney forever! I know they will have Frog princess merchandise but I am talking about the collection where ALL the princesses are shown together.
For people who say "lighten up" when racism is stopped against ALL black people then and only then will I "lighten up!"
First of all, I for one am happy that Disney finally chooses to have a Black Princess, although I will agree that her being in New Orleans, is WTF status, lol.
Now for a Latin Princess, hehe I'm Peruvian,then again we had Emperor's New Groove, so I'm okay.. for now. ;)
I love about that her image is that of a true Black woman (i.e. darker skin, thick lips, broad nose) and is quite beautiful. As opposed to the whole "Eurpoeanized" depiction of what's considered beautiful for a Black Woman, the whole light skin being better than dark skin.
Anyways, I think people should stop being so sensitive and stop picking at each individual thing that can be deemed offensive. Disney is at least making some progress.
i am also glad that one of my favorite books the frog princess is coming to life.
but i wish they would call tiana the characters really name Emma. even though it is not as oreganol as i would like it, its still based off the book and i'm happy about it
Yes, there will always, always be critiscm,slander, and even a lilttle racial hatred. (don't think I spelled that right, oh well you get it). I can't believe people are actually pulling and preying on the little problems. The Title? Come on man, The Frog Princess. I automatically thought of how she had to KISS THE FROG. Not assuming that she was ugly. WTH?
The voodoo/ magic part? What Disney Princess movie doesn't involve magic/voodoo in some kind of way? Sleeping Beauty- Maleficent, from a woman to a dragon. Snow White- the queen who made herself a hag--poison apple? Aladdin-Jafar? Need I say more? There was bad magic/voodoo. Good magic/voodoo-Cinderella-Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty-The Fairies (don't know their actual titles). But I will admit that when I saw the magic/voodoo part in the movie clip, my mind went to the island of Haiti. Whos nationality is black and that they do do voodoo.
The setting, New Orleans is a place where some of the African American culture comes from---the food, music, dressing styles. The movie was not made to put those people down, it just seems (to me) that they just wanted to do an ethnic setting for the story. Think of the timezone if it was before Hurricane Katrina. Now if her name was Katrina, then I could see how that would create some problems, but other than that, look at the styles of the clothing and the buildings.
AN ALLIGATOR SIDEKICK???? I really don't get how that is a problem! Am I missing something??? What's wrong with having an alligator in the story, let alone having it for a sidekick? Peter Pan didn't seem to have a problem with it- and they have PLENTY of Peter Pan movies for Disney and non-disney films. The two crocs from The Rescure's yes! Villians. So tell me again why this is a probelm?
All women are beautiful. If you think someone is ugly, simply think that they are "just not right for YOUR eyes". Anyways, in closing, all races of people are here! Period. None of us are going anywhere so we need to just get over it and go on with our lives.
Disney is taking a step, just like Amreica did with our President and I think this movie will be a success. And yes I'm bringing it up as to make a point. Times are changing and we have to go with it. I'm not racist and I'm not a bigot. I have too many friends of all races and it;s just not right and not going to help anything. DISNEY---LET'S MAKE ANOTHER GREAT MOVIE!!! no more 3D Films lol
what you are saying. My dad is upset about it too, says the exact same thing
you do. I am too a little, but I don't want you to think that I am
blindsided or totally oblivious to the whole thing. I do get it, really. I
can see the issue from both sides. I am very young, yes, and I guess I'm
just use to what I can get, because it mostly seems to keep happening. I
guess I was just trying to see the good in it because Disney finally got a
black princess and that it has been way passed time since they should have
had it, and I was happy about it. Yea can't count Ariel, she was half fish
and I think you should get the other half lol. No I didn't take offense to
grasshaopper, I thought it was cute and symbolizes.
I read the article above. I don't really see an issue at all. Besides...every other race was touched right? Caucasian, Middle Eastern, Asian, Native American...isn't it our turn?
Thanks for hearing me out. Can't wait to see the movie!
The problem with the princess and the frog, in the black community and in media, is variation. Most of the depictions of black culture that exist are exploitative. Everything contains ebonics and uncivilized behavior that reinforce the negative stereotypes, and because the negative is always on display, people actually believe most blacks are uneducated, uncivilized and full of jive.
coming from a girl thats black AND white.
* I'm overjoyed, that Disney is finally investing in a good'ol 2D movie, and wait, it is also the first musical they have made since Hercules, talk about YEAH! I grew up with Disney, with The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King and to finally have some of that magic back, is heaven. This is coming from someone who is almost thirty years old...
* New Orleans. Katrina-what...? People outside the US just don't associate this city with the hurricane. They think about the Mardi Gras, the jazz, the swinging and dancing, sweet lifestyle of the south. The location of the movie may even bring the current situation in New Orleans to a wider spectrum, as well as introducing people to the wonderful history of the city. Heck, it may get more visitors, more money etc.
* Interracial couples. This is the first time a Disney-movie is set in an environment where interraciality is normal. Belle lived in a French village รก la medieval style, it was completely homogenious by nature. Mulan was only with Chinese people because it is set in China. Aladdin, only Arabic people, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, again, that European medieval thing going on. Where in this could Disney had put different races...? Finally they can do it, as they bring their story to the "new" continent of America, where peole have lived mixed for some time already. (Pocahontas can't be counted in here). In fact, this is the most modern of all Disney-movies, set in the 1920's, which makes it very interesting, and which makes it different from all the other princess-stories, basically, because there is no classic princess-story to be told. Meaning, no grand castle, no king and queen in the classical sense.
* Tiana being a maid. This was the 1920's. Do people, who are against a thing like this, want history to be changed somehow...? I mean, wasn't that common at the time...? Seems to me, reading these comments, that people want to erace history, forget about it etc. Sounds very dangerous to me, to be honest. History is what it is, there is negative and positive issues about it, but it is what it is. Couldn't Tiana have been happy and all as a maid? Does your logic mean, that you can only be princess-like and approaved if you lead a better life, ie. at least middle class, and god forbid, a more "white-like"-life??! I hope my point is understood. This is new ground for Disney, going into all the hotspot that was southern US in the 1920's. In fact, the situation and conditions were far worse in a medieval village, but since it's so far off in time, it is harder for us to identify ourselves with those surroundings etc.
* Kids don't react to race if their not thought how to do it. I showed the trailer to me young cousins the other day and they didn't even notice that Tiana was of a different colour. They loved Tiana and the Prince as frogs and of course the alligator and the firefly.
* Yes, I understand that the black people in the US have a hard history, but so does many other people in this world. This movie is for everyone, not just Americans. It seems extremely smallminded to read too much into a, even if loved by adults as well, cartoon, that is aimed at kids, who will laugh out loud when the firefly seems to fart. They will not give a rats ass about the princess being white or black or yellow or whatever. But then I'm not American and didn't grow up in that society. Sometimes i say thank god for that.
So, it's not really just the "little things". That's like saying racism doesn't exist now a-days, which it still does. Plus, with the name Maddy, which was sort of like "Mammy". Also, it's not that pretty of a name. Look at Disney names in the past.
Ariel. Belle. Cinderella. Jasmin. Aurora. Snow White. Pocahontas. Mulan. Megara. Esmeralda.
Just naming a few of the names that they've had as their characters...and then you throw in Maddy. x.x And I agree, the title "The Frog Princess" doesn't sound as lovely as "The Beauty and the Beast" or "The Little Mermaid".
at least your finally getting a princess that looks like you, so now how about you stop complaining and help advocate for another race that is yet unrepresented.
when i first saw what this movie was about, i will admit that i was a bit put off by the story that they chose and the character representation, but then i remembered that it was a disney movie and their main audience is children. a simple audience calls for a very simple story line. unfortunately, stereotypes(good ones) are the best way to get a point across to children who may not understand otherwise. for example, smart people wear glasses. is it true? no. but a scientist wearing glasses puts across the idea that he is smart to children easier than having him explain a complicated equation.
I like it when people exchange views taht is how we grow and gain knowledge. I am excited for a black princess. I have waited so long for this! but, even though I am not ofended I want to hear why others might be.
I do not want to be ignorant as some care to be.
when is the obamania goin to stop?
this movie has been in production for almost 2 years
so u can shove it
and go on about your life. honestly do you really think that little kids know if the movie is
racial or not? no.. not unless they get taught raceism at a young age. Its jus a movie!! Get over it! If ne one has a problem with ne thing i said please feel free to email me.
and alligators and voodooism in new orleans...... consider the fact that new orleans does in fact have a history of voodooism.. and that it does inhabit alligators....... whats the big deal? would you rather have magical fairies and unicorns? or maybe a giant rainbow in the middle of a swamp?
i think the people who accuses others of being racist are actually racist themselves.. i didn't even catch that... all i saw was a princess kissing a frog and turning into a frog and now they gotta go through the struggle of becoming human again. thats all i saw. the fact that some people managed to turn that into racism is completely ridiculous.
They did not like the name "Maddy" because it sounded like a "slave" name.
They did not like the name "Maddy" because it sounded like a "slave" name.
Having 2D back is cool too.
Now in my forties, I can't wait until this movie comes out. Not only will I get DVD versions for each of my nieces, I am adding one to my own collection. I am very happy I was able to see one in my lifetime and although I am much older and have a lot more confidence in myself, it still reassured me that now every little girl can truly believe that she is a princess.
