I remember the outrage over there being a black Disney princess, and I remember the outrage over the fact that the first black Disney princess spent most of the movie as a frog. The movie was simultaneously too progressive and not progressive enough.
Yes - this was the problem for sure! We finally got a black princess and she spent most the movie as a damn frog 🙄 And then there was the whole voodoo aspect that rubbed people the wrong way, too. I know it is represented as part of New Orleans culture in some respect, but it felt quite heavy for the movie.
