Lol my Cousin is named Naveen :)<br /><br /><br />I like the story and will definitely see the cartoon during the winter break. IMHO i dont find anything wrong with an Indian guy and an African American girl having a relationship...but i do accept that you have some valid points. Maybe Disney wanted to make more money by pandering to both communities.lol<br /><br />Having said that, we all live in a multicultural world nowadays, thus Disney might not be too off the mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457712359004161559.post-14210556305700047492009-04-28T15:04:00.000-07:002009-04-28T15:04:00.000-07:00No problem Anonymous.

I understand your concerns about people linking dialect to race b/c growing up I was told I "talked like a white girl."

The people who voiced Simba were Jonathan Taylor Thomas from "Home Improvement" and Matthew Broderick.Jenee Dardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274216901288021997noreply@blogger.com
