I must say despite all the bad reviews and the negative flack this film got I still loved it. Who cares that our first black princess was a frog for half the film, this very much added to the story line. I believe the film was very realistic to the era and setting in which the story was written for. Fiona is a little girl from two hard working African American parents living in the 1920s era of New Orleans. They teach their little Fiona that she can have all she wants by working for it and so sets the theme of this movie. Which is quite unique and different from the other Disney Films (perhaps as a truth and tribute since black people in America are never handed anything we have to work for all we a achieve). It was a lovely film it took me back to that place when I was young and carefree and it possessed that feel good spirit which all Disney movies have. I gave it 4 1/2 juicy mangoes (even my sister stayed awake and liked this one). Definitely one for the kids especially our kids it our first princess :-).
