She obviously isn't the lead in ALADDIN, but I was always under the impression that the character isn't supposed to be white. I also assume from her presence in Disney's current "Princesses" marketing blitz that her inclusion (amongst the 4 or 5 "major" others) signifies a lasting popularity from which they hope to profit.

This film just goes to show there is a huge difference between Disney and Pixar.
