Really??? Disney Replaced Princess Tiana With A Lightskinned, 3B Hair Heaux And Folks Are Livid
Folks Accuse Disney Of White-Washing Princess Tiana
So they thought no one would notice? The first Black Disney princess, Tiana, made an appearance in the “Wreck-It Ralph 2” trailer and fans have a lot of feelings about her skin tone and hair texture. Pixar not only changed Tiana once — initially changing her hair texture and nose, but in later trailers they seemed to also lighten her skin — thinning her nose even further.
Whose first Black princess is this???
why does princess tiana look so different from the wreck it ralph trailer we got 2 months ago to today’s new still……….let me know pic.twitter.com/h63b4DXE03

Tiana still looks Black, adding natural curls to her illustration, but they’ve made her features more Eurocentric. That’s NOT sitting well with Black women fans. Disney has yet to comment on the changes, but folks are not being quiet on the issue.
Hit the flip to see what they’re saying.
I’m extremely confused as to who this is… was Princess Tiana’s skin tone and dark hair too hard to digitalize? pic.twitter.com/M2f30gjiBR

In today’s edition of “you tried it,” Disney decided to reinforce colorism by lightening Princess Tiana’s skin in #RalphBreaksTheInternet. Tiana was a dark skin Black woman in Princess and the Frog, now she has light skin and Eurocentric features. What happened to her wide nose? pic.twitter.com/YnX9eFPLm9

I know some people are saying 'this isn't Tiana, what did they do?', but something I never quite liked about Princess and the Frog was the fact that Disney chose not to give their first black princess natural hair… so I just really appreciate this look for baby Ti. pic.twitter.com/1kIK5KW3dJ

This is the Tiana I know. Tiana is the only princess I know with my skin tone. However Wreck-It-Ralph fucked her up. Like first off you gave her the biracial girl look in her laid back look. If you want a biracial princess Disney then make one. Until then don’t change Tiana up pic.twitter.com/3RyGLAUavn

So I compared most of the pictures of Tiana from the promos and then the original and sampled their skin tones (all from the same place in their forehead cause it was the most consistent) I think they could have made her look a little more accurate…. pic.twitter.com/X54rPndk4I
