The last three Disney films that starred POC were the Emperor’s New Groove in 2000, Brother Bear in 2003 and Princess and the Frog in 2009. What did they have in common? Exactly.

This is literally just wrong.

First off, these aren’t the last three Disney films featuring POC, not by a long shot. Are we just gonna ignore Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Treasure Planet (2002) and Lilo and Stitch (2002)?

I don’t know about you

But these people

Look like POC

To me.

This post also just flat out ignores the 3D animated films, most may be co-produced by Pixar, but Pixar are just an animation company, they don’t have any input towards the story.

and so the last three Disney films to star POC characters are Princess and the Frog (2009)

Up (2009)

And Big Hero 6 (2014)

(Whilst Big Hero 6 involved Marvel, it’s still a disney movie featuring multiple POC leads.)

Over the past 20 years there’s been 13 Disney movies (Excluding sequels, live action, movies featuring non-human leads and non stand alone titles) that feature POC in a lead role.

In comparison, there are 9 Disney films that do not feature POC as leads, and these are mainly region and time specific such as Brave (2012).

Speaking of Brave, did we forget about this?

It’s almost as if human characters turning into animals is one of the most recognised story tropes, who would’a thought?

In conclusion, the original post is bullshit, class dismissed.
