# 64 Pinocchio & #74: The Princess and The Frog
Which one of these movies do I love a whole bunch, and which do I feel did horribly by the demographic it was intended to represent?
I think Pinocchio is one of Disney's better movies. There's a humongous, cosy charm to it, even as you watch a wooden boy almost be killed and enslaved and fall under the influence of drugs. It's something you watch during an undetermined winter holiday.
On the flipside, why should I applaud Disney for making the first black princess a fucking frog for most of her movie? I'm not gonna do that.
She looks pretty nice in some of the Wreck It Ralph 2 promotional material.
