PJ has seen this movie a hundred times, okay, maybe not 100, but at least 14 or so.  Since PJ is NOT allowed to have a TV in her room, Ken and I have also seen it 14 or so times.  Yeah, nice [not!].  After 14 times, I should be familiar, right?   But I’ve almost tuned out all these Disney flicks, until tonight.  This “Atlantis” series of movies are really diverse, as far as animated movies go.

You have White, Mexican, Russian, Italian, Black.  At least I think Atlantis Queen, Kida, and all her people are Disney’s attempt to add Black to the mix.  This is just my assumption.  It’s hard to say, because all the Atlantis characters have platinum hair [as in ice white] and dark skin. 

In the real world, they aren’t “Black” per se, but to PJ, they’re dark like her and she can identify, plus, she finds the Queen “very pretty”.   Either way, it’s a diverse cast and more so than most Disney films. 

If you or your kids like adventure film, check this one out.  It’s exciting, has funny and colorful characters, and even adds a little “love” in there with Milo and the Queen Kida.  To PJ, that love thing is very “adorable” and to me, it’s a positive spin on diverse relationships.

It’s just nice to see an animated film with so many shades of skin tone.  PJ simply loves the accents and Queen Kida.  🙂  How cute is that?
