It's truly HAPPENING!!

Sun May 17, 2009, 3:35 PM
Hey everyone! :aww: I hope you're all ready for the Summer time, because I certainly am! I had a pretty rough year...what with my demanding job and being sick and all, so I thought that this Summer, I'd just take it easy. No trips, no big shopping spree...just relaxation. :aww: Although I MIGHT go to Six Flags Great Adventures..we'll see. :thanks: For Mother's Day, I celebrated by taking my mom to dinner. I know, not much, but it's the least I can do for everything she's sacrificed for me and my brothers to have a better life here in America. :hug:

Okay, enough with me. Now, unless you've been living under a rock, you already know that the official trailer for the upcoming Disney movie, The Princess And The Frog, has premiered! :w00t!: It looks awesome! Tiana looks like she'll fit right in with the other Princesses. She's got attitude, beauty, and strength that you can easily see. ;) If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you can go here:

Also in the news is the soundtrack to The Princess And The Frog. It sounds like it's going to be quite the musical with awesome songs and catchy lyrics. Here's a preliminary list of the songs in the movie so far:

1) Down In New Orleans- performed by the woman who voices Tiana instead of Dr. John. It's just the first few lines, then the movie starts.

2) Opening Song (again) - the full version, now performed by Dr. John. Big, big band with lots of swank.

3) "Almost There" - Tiana's solo.

4) "I Got Friends On The Other Side" - Villain's song (Dr. Facilier)

5) "Almost There" (reprise)

6) "When I'm Human..." - a song for the alligator Louie

7) A song for Ray- zydeco style.

8) Another song for Ray, this time more of a romantic ode to the stars.

9) "Dig A Little Deeper" - sung by Mama Odie

10) The Opening song gets a reprisal at the end as well.

Looks good to me! :dance: The official poster for the movie was released too, and you can take a gander of it here:

I just love the dark colors and how you can see all of the primary characters. I hope there's more to come. ;p

So that's it with me. I hope you all will have a wonderful Memorial Day coming up. Thanks for dropping by all...well, those of you who bother to drop by at least..:greetings:...and I'll certainly be back! :wave:

I know, right? :D It's going to be awesome, and those complainers and hater can just SUCK it! :chainsaw:

Well, I consider Kida from "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" to be the first Black Disney princess, but since Tiana will be the first Black AMERICAN princess, she'll be a big step too. ;) I just can't wait, Tiana and Naveen are going to rock, and those complainers and whiners can totally suck it when it does well! :stfu:
:iconrose74:
Me too! :excited: Tiana is going to blow everyone away. All you complainers and haters....SUCK it!! :chainsaw:
:iconnekoringo:
Yeah, totally!
Disney needs more black princesses! :D

Kida was black? I guess, but she was from Atlantis. Tiana is African American. And was Kida actually a princess, or was she a queen? I don't really remember... :blushes:

Ummm..yes, Kida WAS considered Black..or at least "colored". Here are some links to show how she was dark-skinned...along with her father, and even a statement from IMDB stating that she IS the first Black Disney princess:

I hope that helps. :aww:

Definitely! :D If Disney does it's research, there's plenty of African and Black American tales they can use, such as the Anansi fables, and Mufaru's Beautiful Daughters. :thanks:
