The Princess and the Frog

The princess and the frog is a time honored story. So why, when Disney has the opportunity to crown their first black Disney princess, do they decide turn her into a frog almost immediately? Seriously, not cool.

That's right, after the princess kisses the frog - trusting that he will turn into a prince - and then she turns into a leggy, although green, female frog.  Disney turned the story of The Princess and the Frog completely on its head.  Traditionally, Disney has been pretty accurate - historically speaking.  But putting the princess in New Orleans and then promptly turning her into a frog is just wrong.  I guess she's a Creole princess?  Did Creole princesses ever exist? 

This feels like Disney was under pressure to have a black princess, so they shoved her into a story.  We couldn't have an original story about an African princess?  Does Disney have a drop of originality left or are they just going to resort to butchering already beloved tales? 

Points to ponder.
