(CNN) -- For generations, princesses in Walt Disney Co. films have captured the hearts of little girls dreaming of living happily ever after. In the past few years, fairytales' leading ladies have become increasingly diverse, and the Walt Disney Co. recently announced that Princess Maddy would be the studio's first black princess
---Does it really matter if this Disney princess is black, white, Native American, Asian or Latina? Whatever happened to reviewing if a film is any good based on the story, dialogue and/or action? After all, this is just an animated film. How is this newsworthy in the first place? There wasn't nearly as much press when Mulan, Pocahontas or Aladdin were released, all of which had main characters of color, so why should this be any different?---

they need all the hype they can build.
