It looks like Disney realized it needed a black princess to add to it's
merchandise line.

This movie might be a disaster for Disney from the git go:

Frog Bites Disney
18 July 2008 10:25 AM, PDT | From Studio Briefing
Far from receiving congratulations from the African-American community
for finally producing an animated feature with a black princess,
Disney is finding itself embroiled in a new controversy every bit as
bitter as the one that followed the release of its 1947 film Song of
the South. According to published reports, the controversy has already
forced the studio to change the title of the film and the name of the
lead character. The film, originally titled The Frog Princess, is now
being called The Princess and the Frog and the lead character is now
called Tiana instead of Maddy. But the controversy has not ended.
Charlotte Observer columnist William Blackburn comments: "This
princess' story is set in New Orleans, the setting of one of the most
devastating tragedies to beset a black community. And then they throw
in the voodoo theme [the fairy-godmother character is a voodoo
priestess] and an alligator sidekick. When you put New Orleans,
alligators and voodoo together, there's no beauty there." The London
Independent reports that Disney has now made the prince in the story a
man of Middle Eastern heritage and "revised" the race of the villain.

Oookay, let's pretend this is feigned ignorance, and leave it at
