Disney Latina Princess Is Almost Latina

Disney heralded their introduction of the first Latina cartoon princess. Sí, se puede. Disney was forced to wait until Walt’s retinal cones had fully decomposed in his forever refrigerator before they were allowed to go brown, hence, why forty years after all other media outlets. Princess Elena is from Avalor, which isn’t in Latin American per se, but there will be beheaded taxi drivers with drug cartel signs spray-painted on their lifeless torsos to provide cultural ambience. Disney executives couldn’t be more excited in their corporate approved press releases:

What excites us most is the chance to use distinctive animation and visual design to tell wonderful stories influenced by culture and traditions that are familiar to the worldwide population of Hispanic and Latino families and reflect the interests and aspirations of all children as told through a classic fairy tale

In short, do you realize how many damn Mexicans there are on the way to Disneyland?

Disney introduced its first black princess all the way back in 2009 so they’ve had a long history of blending multicultural characters in with their Hitler youth inspired stable of lovable scamps. Though many in the Latino community are wondering why Disney won’t specifically designate Princess Elena as Latin-American in the animated work itself and only in its press releases. But then those people don’t have a supercomputer in their basement that calculates lunch box sales based on how many times you exclaim, Ay Dios Mio!
