Actually, people are purple.Several are Americans; why isn’t Disney representing them? Obviously, if children don’t have Disney movies to show them beauty in all cultures they will have a skewed racial view; if we don’t have purple Disney characters, children will grow up thinking purple people are inferior, just like they thought black people were inferior till Disney showed them otherwise. Right, American Girl?People who regularly ingest colloidal silver for health issues can develop blue-purpleish to gray skin; it’s called Argyria.
If you don’t believe me, look at this guy. Once the live-action “The Smurfs” movie goes into production, we’ve already got Papa Smurf cast.http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2007/12/colloidal_silver_the_real_blue_man_group.php   See 8 other replies

lol... yea right, u DEF are not black.first of all you need a hug... so *hugs*and yes it does matter. children need to be able to find beauty in all cultures and skin colors and apart of that is having movies like this with people in it that's a different ethnicity-- in this case black. Disney is an American company. People of color/black people are as american as it gets, besides the natives of course, so there should have been a movie with a black princess a LONG time ago. This movie is very important for little black girls, who are constantly seeing whites/european-americans as beautiful in the media and on tv. Its also important for little white/european-american kids to see a black princess...basically, i can say alot, but i dont feel like continuing, the point is-- this movie is important. and i cant wait to see it! :-)ps- people are not purple   See 8 other replies

Who cares! Race should not even be a factor in a disney children's movie! The people could be purple for all i care, which might actually attract for children to the show. It's a fairytale story, and even bringing race into the discussion only fans the flames of racism!! P.S. I'm black!   See 8 other replies
