First a little introduction, I have every intention of seeing this movie, but here are my personal judgments of this movie based on the controversies surrounding it, trailers and so forth. Since i like to end on a happy note, we'll start with the bad.
5. THE pRINCESS: When I first saw this trailer i was thinking "how the hell can a black waitress from New Orleans in the 20's be a princess? but the और trailers that got released i slowly realized that Tiana isn't actually a princess at all, at least not द्वारा birth anyway, suddenly the whole she turns into a frog thing made allot और sense. But why does it have to take place so recently? to me fairy tales always took place in no particular time, and if they did it was a long time ago, but हे i guess they wanna say that fairy tales can take place any time anywhere, but if your going to have it take place so recently, can't आप AT LEAST make it historically accurate? i'v got news for आप writers, Tiana is NOT a name people had back then, i know all those pc nut bars कहा that the name "Maddie" was racist, but there are SO many other names आप could've gone with like, Elizabeth, Kate, Jean, Betty? Veronica? SOMETHING OTHER THEN TIANA! Also if they wanted to make an African princess why didn't they use an African story? Why would they go with one from europe?
4. THE CONTROVERSY: My god, the controversy surrounding this film is AMAZING. Like wow, where do i begin? First off, how is the name Maddie racist? I mean it's short for Madiline, right? so? so what? another thing that was "racist" was making our lead a maid. Again, how? I mean Snow White was, सिंडरेला was. Oh i see if a white girl is a maid it's totally fine, but a black girl no no no. THATS racist! Also allot of people thought the prince was white, and that that was also racist, well first of all he's not and second, how is supporting mixed race couples racist and condemning them not, when did that happen.
3. THE ARROGANCE: for as many people who think this movie is the devils work, there are just as many who think it was crafted from the hands of येशु Christ himself. The biggest thing is that it's Disney's first black princess. Maybe so, but i have a few things to say about that. First of all why wasn't this much fuss made over Disney's first arabian princess, या chinese? I mean non white heros and heroines in डिज़्नी फिल्में is NOT a new thing. Also have आप seen those interviews they do with the guys who worked on the film? They all talk about it like its the अगला Citizen Kane. For example, have आप noticed how they always say "Tiana's going to be the strongest princess yet, she's not waiting around for some prince". Now lets analyze this, shall we? Now I'm going to assume they mean strong character wise in development. Well aren't all the princesses strong and developed characters? The best examples i can think of are Belle, Cinderella, Ariel and Mulan. Those are just the first that come to mind. And the whole "waiting around for her prince", okay i think were gonna need a princess rundown.
Lets start with Snow White. Did she wait around for her prince? well yeah, but she was asleep. And throughout the rest of the movie, even though she wasn't as feminine as later heroines, she was still a very active character, in fact she didn't even think about her prince that much. Next
Cinderella: She always dreamed of love, but she was never really looking for it. Her main motivation to go to the ball was to just have fun, falling in प्यार was just icing on the cake. And her prince definitely did not save her, she saved herself, with help from the mice of coarse, okay ALOT of help. Then came
Aurora: probably the least active one, but the फिल्में not exactly about her,she's a big part of it but it's really about the fairies. She did need to be rescued, but again she was under a spell. अगला Ariel: She was one of the most active characters, she was weak and naive, but not helpless. But being inexperienced with life just makes her और relatable. अगला we'll do
Jasmine: allot like Ariel she was witty and felt trapped, but wasn't even really looking for a prince charming, like at all. lets go on to
Belle: Belle is great, she's full of personality and never needed saving.
Mulan: do i even have to say anything
pocahntas: another strong character who actually saved HER prince, and she never even dreamed of love, just excitement. She didn't even really get a happily ever after.
2. THE SILLINESS: anyone who's seen clips from the movie can tell it's got some crazy over the चोटी, शीर्ष jokes, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, some फिल्में were able to pull that off. Hercules hat some honestly funny jokes, but it didn't try and take itself too seriously. It knew what it was doing, and turned out as an all around just fun movie. The heros were fun, the villain was fun, the संगीत was fun and it worked. Also मूलन has some great jokes, and they were able to mix the funny with seriousness and it worked. But thats hard to do, i mean just look at Aladdin. The चमेली and अलादीन प्यार story is trying to push threw, but its just being bombarded with over the चोटी, शीर्ष humor and its distracting, especially since Robin Williams was the genie.
1. THE VOICE: Why? why does every animated film need to be starring all kinds of celebrity's. I mean it could be worse, they could have casted बियॉन्से या something dumb but like why? Look at classic Disney, they never casted big stars, and they never promoted the hell out of the actors either. They kept it a secret so that there was an element of Mystery. But it seems no animated film these days can escape that. Now for some good things
5. TRADITIONAL ANIMATION: My god is it a breath of fresh air to see a movie done like that. My hope is that this film will kick off yet another डिज़्नी renaissance with traditionally animated films. It's sad that it seems to be fading, hate to say it but the only studio that can make CG look good is pixar, श्रेक IS OVERRATED!
4. A GREAT LOOK: this movie seems to leap off the screen whenever i see a trailer, which is और that can be कहा for most trailers these days
3. MARKETING TO KIDS: Whens the last time आप saw a trailer for a kids movie that actually looked good and/or intelligent? It's nice to see someone taking kids seriously again.
2. THE MUSIC: well what can i say, judging द्वारा what i've seen it sounds good
1. NOT CHICKENING OUT: lets face it, since the controversy started they have backed down and changed the heroines name, her occupation and motivation. But they didn't change the location या the idea of using voodoo, two things they complained about the most.
So there आप go,my ramblings, some of आप might call it nit picking, but i call it sh*t picking.

मूलन is considered a डिज़्नी princess and I find that ridiculous because if मूलन is a डिज़्नी princess why not Elsa and Anna? मूलन has the characteristics of a hero and a princess, but there is a reason that prevents her from being a princess.
Although she is फ्रेंड्स with an emperor, that does not make her a princess. Either she would be a royal द्वारा birth, या she would marry a prince and earn the शीर्षक of princess. Being a hero doesn't make a princess, does it? This is really silly. There are a lot of other female characters at डिज़्नी who do great heroics, but they're not even one step closer to being princesses. What a great injustice. What a pity. While I प्यार Mulan, मूलन is overrated.
