I hope you're wrong too.

If you're right, that makes me sad.

Why I can't get on board with FROGP at its current number. PendenteLite Dec 11, 06:41

There's a reason doll mfg. make 'em in light and dark flavors. Kids are more likely to invest themselves in characters more like themselves. {nm} edzep Dec 11, 07:10

With all due respect, that's a load. See my message below {nm} HuskyMiller Dec 11, 07:46

If it was Pocahontas, it would have had the potential of being a bit of an investment - not sure they are really comparable, but still Facto Dec 11, 06:59

And that played in approximately 700 fewer theatres... Started limited. There are some similarities, but it was a summer release. {nm} Facto Dec 11, 07:00

Why should it be about black or white? If it's a good movie, people should be able to look past the color of the characters. {nm} AgentEvil Dec 11, 07:00

Plus I have this movie LONG. It better do well. {nm} AgentEvil Dec 11, 07:00

Ha ha! Ditto! {nm} eyescovered Dec 11, 07:03

Maybe... eyescovered Dec 11, 07:01

How can this really be relevant? Precious just did quite well, and Oprah is a superstar. Obama is African-American, etc etc etc Facto Dec 11, 07:07

I hear ya... eyescovered Dec 11, 07:13

It's also opening in the weeks before Christmas which tend to be slow due to people working to earn xtra money for the holidays secretstalker Dec 11, 07:12

Probably good points. Hope nobody forgets though that this one adjusts x3 + previous.... {nm} Facto Dec 11, 07:18

Crap... I *HAD* forgotten... *sigh* {nm} secretstalker Dec 11, 07:58

the flip side is there is a black audience that has been alienated from traditional Disney production that will be empowered by this one {nm} Moviesnob Dec 11, 07:14

All the people the see Tyler Perry movies can bring their kids lapuckfan Dec 11, 09:28

While I don't doubt this country has no shortage of racism I really don't {nm} HuskyMiller Dec 11, 07:16

lets try this again HuskyMiller Dec 11, 07:43

BLDSD plays into the "White guilt" fantasy. A Southern white family "saves" a poor black orphan. {nm} Antibody Dec 11, 11:42

why does the argument seem so famiiar from last year {nm} hmm Dec 11, 08:07

[KIDS] short on [FROGP] at this price as well. KidsFund Dec 11, 08:13

Personally, I just think it looks a little scary for younger kids, and a little too much voodoo. Could be a huge hit, but my kids have no SEETVFund Dec 11, 09:41
