30 Films That Celebrate Black Joy and Resilience

"The Princess and the Frog" tells the story of a New Orleans waitress who dreams of one day owning her own restaurant. She meets a frog prince along the way and, trying to return him back to human form, kisses him. The problem? Not only does he not become human; she becomes a frog, too. This film marked the first time Black kids were able to identify with Disney royalty who looked like them. Princess Tiana proved that blonde hair and blue eyes are not a requirement to be a princess.
