The movie is the most well acted true spirited movie of the year. I am sure you probably loved the over the top performance of Sandra Bullock saving the dumb black athlete.

Really? If you do some thorough research you would note that this movie has been in the making for far longer than Obama has been in the public's conciousness and so was NOT inherently engineered for "his" crowd. Also note that no one of any credibility has billed this movie as being "the First Disney animated film to feature an openly ethnic heroine". It simply happens to be the first Disney animated film to feature and African American heroine. Seeing as how virtually every other ethnicity has been represented in Disney films (and rightfully so), it seems to me and a large portion of society that an African American heroine/princess is long overdue. As white people, our daughters (and children in general) have no shortage of positive on screen role models. We can go just about anywhere and find dolls, books, and movies that reinforce a positive self image. This is not the case for other ethnicities, especially African Americans who are quite honestly the most unique of all ethcnicities in color, hair texture, build, and so forth. A little black girl should be able to see herself as a princess just as easily as a little white girl. Groundbreaking in creativity or artistry it may not be, but it certainly breaks new ground in Disney diversity. The “Barack Obama Era”? Really?
