Why did they choose to set a movie about the first black Disney princess in a time of racism? Couldn't she have been a legitimate princess set in Africa and given it a Lion King feel?
They wanted to appeal the African American community.

This. They could do an African princess, now.

Well black anons, did it work?
>>81618358
Because they wanted to make a movie set in New Orleans. Why would they make another Africa movie when they already had Lion King?

No. Also the movie was a bit preachy and her friend was waaaaay hotter
Also, even tough the movie took place in an era where racism would have been out in the open, you don't see it in the film in any way.

It was perfect, so your post is irrelevant.

The setting was actually really good, and handled pretty well.
The movie was still boring though. I hardly any of it -besides- the setting.

>Why did an US company that's known to care about the US and the Chinese audience exclusively set one of its movies in the US?
It's a motherfucking mystery.

Wait, did the racism bit even come up in the movie?

>Also the movie was a bit preachy
The only time race even comes up is a single line of dialogue where it's implied.

Only once. The reason Tiana gets desperate enough to kiss a frog is because the people she wanted to buy a building from thought that "a woman of your...background" really shouldn't be running a business.
