Actually from what i know  to create a mini  animation studio is less cost effective than a movie like love jones and to a certain extend more profitable . we can't have it immediately to my knowlege we can make it .  yeah 60k aren't easy to get but what company doesn't start with 2 pennies ?

I still don't see why people are crusading  Disney ( okay they are the biggest cartoon distributor ) , but hell we all know they are not going to be brown friendly . from what i saw their ethnic characters are always less dressed and so on.

my stance is clear this the part of the industry we are waisting our time and energy arguing with . we are just not in their mind frame , whether they think a african looking princess is marketable should not be an issue if at this day of age the medium is available for us to use.

Buy your little niece this doll  Jasmin 22ft long and incredibly realistic .

my niece told me it looks just like her sister

From my understanding, the Song of the South was the only Disney feature that had 'black' characters until Atlantis.  Most of the movies mentioned(actually, I think ALL)...Mulan, Aladdin, Pocahantas (sp) were not made until after Walt Disney had died...Not sure if it is a culture around Disney though.

Boycott all you wish until AA effect the bottom line of Disney and that is their money they will like most white owned and controlled companies cater too the ones who spend the money and look like them!

Is this business or reality of business?

I agree that we need to boycot Disney and all of it's subsideraries. If you want to make a change, then we must do it at home first. One way to make sure we have African American heroes, Princesses and Kings is to establish a venue for it to be made.

Or the black community could do it themselves rather then expect Disney to do it for them.  Disney doesn't owe the public any type of princess.

I'm not "saliving" on any ethnic issue.  I'm asking a simple, direct question.  Who do blacks expect or think Disney has a responsibility to create a black princess??  Is Ice Cubes production company going to be expected to produce a show that promotes and represents whites??  Are black rappers going to be expected to do songs that do justice to whites?  Of course not.  They created themselves so have control over what they do and what they portray.  Disney has the same luxury.  If blacks want a black princess, then they should, by all means, create one.

it wasn't a question you were asking . re-read what you wrote. you stated black should make a black princess if they want one not the whites. it appeared to you that this was the problem. money was just a control point but never a means?. if it was just a matter of taking a pencil and designing an aaliyah-looking princess, anyone would have come up with that idea. my 5 year old neph you saw on my siggy can do that.

your argument about blacks doing this and that when they create their company is not 100% fool-proof. in most black movies you still see a white person passing by. also black companies more or less  manage valuable actors they want to send to hollywood . where other americans are, yes the whites . black rappers also talk about their friendship with some  friends who are either latino or whites . you better look inside the book. FYI  jazz saxophonists exist  and many are black and they regularly work on common projects with whites .Also blacks account to 12% of the population , it is downright selfish to exclude a portion of the population .

Disney was created when blacks were allowed by the same whites to get any work . talk about justice. Disney is American  just like the blacks and the entire palette of ethnicities should be represented in an appropriate manner .

Also since i read your posts every now and then, you are literally trapped in the ethnic arguments. you struggle to stay neutral in the name of equality . i actually wonder why it is difficult to even make an effort online if you can't do it in real life, what is your take ?

Disney is american
