I could understand why an adult would be bored watching kids movie. You all should check out Clint Eastwood's new movie Evictus, a true story of how newly elected President Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) in the early 1990's joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite his country that was griped by racial tension and headed for certain civil war. The poem 'INVICTUS' by William Ernest Henley is from which Nelson Mandela drew strength while in prison for 27 years.

What’s going on with the film industry? This movie was so boring that I had to leave the Cinema for the second time — the other one was the “Transformers”. With this one, the story is poor and unoriginal, the animations unattractive the story between “Shrek” and “Jungle Book”. I am surprised that Angelina even mentions it. Sorry guys, they are selling us garbage!

Great film and timely and necessary. Congratulations Disney for finally doing the right thing. Although it took 70 years. Better late than never

I agree i think its great to finally have a black princess character. Historically we as a people have always had kings and queens in our history. Taharqa, Makeda,empress Menen, and thousands of others. This film can curb some of the inherited bias that is a part of American society.

Finally! Wow – this is the first I’ve heard about this movie in Australia and I am delighted!

I hope Disney has now set the example for others. It’s the little cultural things that add up.

Kelly,

Anika Noni Rose is African American. Check her out in Dreamgirls. She is great!

Just a question though..why did it take a Caucasian American to voice an African- American voice – there wasn’t a single black actress that was available?
