“The African Princess”
Posted by Sam on Saturday, 31 Mar 2007

“The African Princess” debuts with cultural depth and an African-based theme

Chicago, Illinois — “The African Princess” is an original animated film based on actual events within the continent of Africa. It is a story of perseverance, struggle and triumph that will inspire both young and old audiences.

The heroine is Zya, a young African princess who is the sole heir to her father’s kingdom. Through a series of events that displace her family, devastate her country and cause her to lose her memory, Zya, with help from Neebo, a small furry monkey who is her childhood companion, rises to the challenge to lead and sustain the survival of her native kingdom.

“The African Princess” is a coming of age story that illustrates the courage and greatness of a young girl who proves that leadership and success are in all of us. With a traditional theme of good and evil illustrated by colorful characters, “The African Princess” brings to life the many prisms of the human spirit and its power to triumph over extreme odds. This film also highlights the severe drought and starvation that has caused conflict among many of Africa’s diverse tribes.

Set in the rich and colorful continent of Africa, a cultural kaleidoscope of vibrant green forests, blue rivers and sun burnt skies seep out of the story line. Audiences will fall in love with Zya, a passionate, jungle-savvy and witty young girl and Neebo, a small mischievous, white-haired furry monkey with lion-like features. Woven into this colorful story, you’ll discover Africa’s soulful music, passion and many traditions.

“The African Princess” is the first original story of its kind written by Kerry Marshall, Creative Director of Covenant Pictures. A film company based in Chicago, Illinois, Covenant Pictures’ “The African Princess” will rival films created by other major animated production companies. “‘The African Princess’ is anything but your average fairy tale. Rather, it is a riveting story that both highlights and illustrates the richness of a continent and the strength of perseverance”, says Kerry Marshall. In the making since 2005, “The African Princess” is set to be released in 2008.

“The African Princess” will serve as a precedent for future multicultural animated films by introducing audiences to the beautiful sights, sounds and wonders of a land that offers stories which speak of history, struggle and beauty.

I think I will check this out and make sure my daughter see's this.
I'm glad that she has braids and not a "natural perm" which is flawed in itself that they think that it is correct to do such a thing.

Sounds like a great story. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Thanks Sis. Elisa.
