Protests Come Early to Disney's 'Princess'


Almost two years before its hoped-for release of its first hand-drawn animated film produced under the supervision of Pixar's John Lasseter, Disney has already drawn fire for alleged racial and ethnic insensitivities that were detected in its original announcement of the film, according to Disney watcher Jim Hill. Since the original title, The Frog Princess, might be regarded as a slur on the French, the title has been changed to The Princess and the Frog (dakle, umesto 'francuska princeza' sad je to 'princeza i francuz'! stvarno, manje uvredljivo!  ). The main character, named Maddy -- who was to become Disney's first black princess (yippieee!!!) -- has had her name changed to Tiana, since Maddy reportedly sounded too much like Mammy   . She will no longer be seen as a chambermaidworking for a rich, white spoiled Southern débutante. In a statement, Disney, which said that it ordinarily does not comment on its animated films in the early stages of production, observed: "The story takes place in the charming elegance and grandeur of New Orleans' fabled French Quarter during the Jazz Age. ... Princess Tiana will be a heroine in the great tradition of Disney's rich animated fairy tale legacy, and all other characters and aspects of the story will be treated with the greatest respect and sensitivity ."

Smoke in Movies -- Get an "R"

In a rare alteration of its movie ratings system, the MPAA said on Thursday that the panel that assesses Hollywood movies will begin considering "depictions that glamorize smoking or movies that feature pervasive smoking outside of a historic or other mitigating context." Until now, the subjects that movie raters have primarily considered are violence, language, nudity, and drugs. In a statement, MPAA CEO Dan Glickman said, "There is broad awareness of smoking as a unique public health concern due to nicotine's highly addictive nature, and no parent wants their child to take up the habit. ... The appropriate response of the rating system is to give more information to parents on this issue."

Nicole Mamo, 48, tried to place a help-wanted advert in Thetford,
  Norfolk, England. The owner of an employment agency, Mamo said
  applicants for the 5.80-pound/hour (US$9.35) position of cleaner "must
  be very reliable and hard-working." But the Thetford Jobcentre refused
  the ad. "She said it was because they could have cases against them for
  discriminating against unreliable people," Mamo said. "We supply the
  [National Health Service] with staff, so it's very important for the
  patients that we have reliable workers." (London Telegraph) ...And
  really, isn't the term "worker" discriminatory against the lazy, too?
