Walt Disney Proudly Presents ‘The Princess and the Frog and the Racist Firefly’

As if we weren’t soiling our pants enough already in anticipation of Disney’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua and its high-kicking chorus of furry Mexican slurs, now comes a short teaser from the upcoming The Princess and The Frog—a return to hand-drawn animation for the studio, and the first to feature an African-American princess in the lead. Set in New Orleans, the jazz-era musical is written and directed by the team who brought us classics like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, features songs by Randy Newman, and—if this teaser is any indication—stars a toothless firefly that seems to have fluttered in accidentally from the set of Song of the South 2: Cajun Vacation. Unfortunately, the feature won’t be in theatres until Christmas 2009. Haw-haw! Id looks like dis could take some TAHM!
