not prepared for..

globalization. today morning a pattern of globalization just punched me when I was waiting for my tram in a freezy weather.. there was an ad for a new cartoon movie from Disney and I just could not believe what I saw. I have the memory still in front of my eyes. The new movie is called 'The Princess and the Frog' and besides the fact that I cannot judge how the princess looks like I could see that our princess has black skin color. I understand that Disney is a brand entertaining people from all cornerns of the world and I don't even know why it came to be unusual for me to see that in a classic (or maybe it is not so classic?!) cartoon movie, distributed in the middle of Europe is a black princess. Since my childhood, all characters, in books of borthers Grimm, or even early Disney's movies, the princesses were white. I am asking myself whether it would be against law to do two similar movies, one with white skinned princess and the other one with black skinned princess. However I can imagine looking myself at a movie with black skinned princess and enjoying it pretty much, still in my mind, princesses are white. Not because I would be a racist, but because I live in the middle of Europe, our princesses were always white, fairytales don't contain black people (if I do not count gypsies), so it is just natural that my point of view for a black princess is a feeling in my heart telling me, that to see a cartoon movie from Disney where a main role plays black skinned princess is trully a product of nowadays globalized world.
