I love that line.

I guess I see both sides...on one side, I can see where we should be trying to teach children that it is the person you ARE - not the colour of your skin or your ethnicity that matters...yet on the other hand, I can understand that many would wonder - why can't the Prince be black? Although since he starts out as a frog -shouldn't he be French Canadian?

And there is the whole matter of it being set in New Orleans....I can't think of any princesses in New Orleans...

Is this based on a book? Cause I've heard about The Frog Prince - but I'm pretty sure that was an European story.

OK - this whole thing is confusing me. (and Maddy is one heck of a popular name now, anyway).
