oh disney.. what have you done?



oh my gosh oh my gosh read this. click, click away.

synopsis of the story from wkipedia:

The film, which began production under the working title The Frog Princess, will be an American fairy tale, Broadway-style musical set in the French Quarter of New Orleans. A prince named Naveen from the land of Maldonia [5], is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Facilier. The frog prince asks a waitress named Tiana to break the spell by kissing him. However, the kiss doesn't break the spell but rather makes Tiana a frog, as well. Together the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way. The film is set to be released on December 11, 2009.

a few things of note:

-interracial couples being used to cover a collective inability to respect men of color as heroes at all.
-the fire fly's accent?! (actor Jim Cummings will be doing the voice for the firefly)
-new orleans? talk about a loaded history
-disney, oh my gosh disney

this is most inarticulate I've felt in some time.

maybe ill start making a best of and put the slavery/jackson 5 theme park on the list and this can be second.
