Are There Any Black Leading Characters In Disney Cartoons?

Filed in Category Disney Cartoons

I was thinking about Disney cartoon movies the other day, and I was wondering if they have any leading roles in cartoons with black people? I know they have The Lion King, but that doesn’t really count because you don’t actually see any black faces. Also, “real” movies like Cheetah Girls, and That’s So Raven don’t count. Jasmine from “Aladdin” was Arabic. “Mulan” of course was Chinese. Pocahontas was Native American, and “Little Mermaid” was french or something.

    There are no leading roles in cartoons from Disney with african americans. Seems like by now they would have noticed this and made a movie geared towards fixing this. Most Disney cartoon movies follow a similar pattern, and a lack of multiple races interacting together seems to be one of these patterns.

    well, little mermaid wasn’t french, she was from the sea, but Belle from beauty and the beast was french. it is a good question. I guess Mogli from jungle book was Indian? there is Fat Albert and his gang, but they were warner brothers, weren’t they?not Disney. I don’t think there has been, but I bet if you came up with a good story line, there would be.

    I think goofy was a bad racist attempt of some sort of country ni99a but he comes of looking more like a red neck. Could have been George Bush’s real daddy. They look allot alike. No I take that back, Bush looks allot like Courious George; he just acts goofy. Barbra Bush looks like Geoge Washington. I think they is a phuked up any way I mean Disney was a closet homo and drew a cartoon about his favorite anal gerbil but played him off as a sailor who was a mouse. Very gay to me.

    Little mermaid is Danish
    The closest Disney ever got was “Atlantis” with the doctor, but he’s a support

    no there aren’t. Walt Disney was sort of a racist and antisemitic a hole.

    Kind of. The one that sings zippity do da. Din’t watch it, but Disney cartoons tend to be very racist. I’m surprise African Americans don’t burn down Disney for the Jungle book and all the spin offs from it. I tried to get all my relative to stop watching Disney cartoons because Alladin is suppose to be Chinese. Everyone thinl I’m nuts.

    Walt Disney started back when racism and segragation was still around, so they conformed to a set idea. I don’t know why many Disney princesses are white, perhaps because most of those fairy tales began in Europe, and most Europeans are white? I think Disney should do a traditional African fairy tale.

    Yes- actually he had made a movie called “Song Of the South” Uncle Remus was African American.
    Uncle Remus told tales or Brer Rabbit.
