Disney has agreed to redesign a black princess after clearing her skin and changing her facial features in "Ralph Break the Internet," according to a Wall Street Journal report and a rights organization.

During the summer, fans of "The Princess and the Frog" of Princess Tiana in 2009 noticed that her appearance had changed in the teasers of the sequel to "Wreck-It Ralph". In her brief role with other Disney princesses, her complexion became clearer and her nose narrower.

Fan was not there for that.

The WSJ reported that Disney's animators met with Anika Noni Rose, the actress who plays Tiana, and representatives of Color of Change. The group campaigns for racial representation, including representations of black characters in Hollywood.

Color of Change sent a statement to All the Moms from Brandi Collins-Dexter, senior campaign manager, praising Disney's animators.

Disney's decision to give Princess Tiana her image as a black princess with fleshy lips, dark skin and dark hair, shamelessly in Wreck-It Ralph 2: a victory for Color Of Change members, children blacks and their parents and the black public who wishes to see the diversity of nuances, shapes and sizes of black characters accurately in the arts. "

All the moms asked Disney to comment.

"Ralph breaks the Internet" arrives in theaters on November 21st.
