Sofia is the newest Disney princess, making her TV movie debut on November 18th. She’s both the first pre-school age princess and, as Disney recently announced, the first Hispanic princess. Her voice actress, however, is not of Hispanic descent, and even this passes-for-white Latina feels there probably would have been more minority-representation value here if Sophia appeared closer to the admittedly limited section of the color spectrum that American society reads as “Hispanic.” Time will tell whether the content of Once Upon a Princess will lives up to Disney’s hopes for it.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
