Take a scene from a favorite Disney movie (or a written fairy tale). The movie or fairytale must be about a different race, ethn
JulijaS [17]
When you think about race or ethnicity what movie first comes to your mind? For me that’s the princess and the frog.
The princess and the frog takes place in New Orleans during the 1920’s . During this movie, not many people seem to be acting rude towards the africans americans, but they definitely have a different life then others. For example, in the beginning of the movie, they show the main character tiana with another white girl charlotte. Charlotte seems to be spoiled and gets everything from her father and dreams about meeting a prince. During this scene, they show tiana and her mother leaving there big mansion which tianas mom works at, as a seamstress. They then show them driving out of the big white neighborhoods filled with huge mansions into african american territory, more poorer and smaller. Although they seem to not have as much money or as big of a house as the whites do, they are connected because of how happy they are. Especially when tiana brings out her gumbo and shares with everyone, the joy and excitement on everyone’s family is heartwarming how just a bowl of food can bring an entire family and others together.
