Angelina Jolie has criticized the Walt Disney Co. for failing to produce an animated film featuring a black princess. Jolie, whose adopted child Zahara was born in Africa (two other adopted children, Maddox and Pax were born in Asia), told the British celebrity magazine Ok!, "There still isn't a Disney princess that's African and it's very difficult because our daughters' getting into princesses right now and it upsets me." Jolie, however, may not have been aware of Disney's plans to release The Princess and the Frog, which features a black princess (from New Orleans), next year.
