(He praises Disney's The Princess and the Frog for having a black heroine but laments that she doesn't wind up with a black prince: "Black woman can't even have a black man in animation!") After the curtain call, he spends another 15 minutes talking to the crowd, explaining the background of the show (he wrote it after the death of his mother last year), making a pitch for Haiti relief and urging fans to see his next movie, for which he shows...
