The evening star is shining bright. So, make a wish and hold on tight.

Well, since I'm over the swine flu, I started reading other
blogs from people in English 110. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS
IS THE LAST BLOG!??! WOOOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOO!
Well, writing about writing got a little tedious after a while,
but I'll be nothelgic and miss this eventually... Let's see, what
to write about...

AHA! The new Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog" comes
out December 11th. Just in time for the holidays. Guess what!??!
This is the first Disney movie to have an African American heroine/princess.
All I can say is...

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Disney, almost the the point of obsession, but why on Earth,
would one of the most popular companies in the world wait this long
to give the children/world an African American Princess!??! I understand
that racism was a big part of our country, but it's been a lot better since
1950's/60's. This should not have taken this long. Disney even cranked out
an Asian heroine and a Native American. With such sucess in those films,
why the wait?

A big contraversy of the film is that the Prince is not full blown African
American. He is from a fictious country of Maldonia. Since he is not
"black" a lot of people have been complaining. I understand the complaints,
but can't they get passed that and realize that this movie is not only big
for having African American heroines, but the first Disney couple of different
cultural backgrounds. (Princess Wise.)

Hopefully, this movie will be a great sucess!!!
