[quote="AladdinsGenie"]Amen :lol: And that brings up another point: do they want a movie based off an African tale or a African Disney princess? Because just because they get an African tale doesn't mean there's going to be a princess in it. I can almost bet you if there was a African Disney movie and the girl wasn't made to be a princess, you would here the "Well, how come she's not royalty?" rant :roll: There's very few princesses in Disney's history reguardless of how popular the six they promote are.[/quote]
