Angelina Jolie is happy that her adopted daughter Zahara, who is 4, now has a positive role model. Jolie has reportedly spoken out about how she is happy that Disney’s first black princess in “The Princess and the Frog” is a positive influence on her Ethiopian daughter. The animated feature is currently ruling the box office and is set in Jazz-Age era New Orleans. The tale centers around a beautiful princess named Tiana and a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again.
A kiss leads the two on a fantastic adventure through the swamps of Louisiana. According to OK! magazine: “Angelina Jolie has spoken about how she’s ecstatic that her four-year-old daughter Zahara will have a role model thanks to the barrier being broken.”
Tiana is voiced by actress Anika Noni Rose. Rose told Valerie Nome of Ok! magazine, “It’s wonderful. I think every little girl should be able to feel themselves the princess. I think every little girl is worthy of having a princely young man, and vice versa.” Rose went on to say, “It’s really thrilling that Zahara will never have a moment where she didn’t see herself in that light. She’s Ethiopian. She comes from kings and queens. She should certainly know herself as a princess.”
