Avatar: Legend of Korra (characters are all chromatic, creators are mostly white) -- this is probably the only year that Legend of Korra will count as obscure, so I figured I'd nominate it even though it hasn't aired yet and there's only concept art and a premise. But Korra sounds awesome and should get to have many adventures.
Whale Rider (characters are all chromatic; the book is by a Maori writer, but the movie is directed by a non-Maori New Zealander) -- this is a film about a girl who is the only surviving child in the line of male chiefs. There needs to be fic about her grown-up adventures.
Sleep Dealer (characters are all chromatic; it's a Mexican film with mostly chromatic creators) -- this is one of the best scifi films I've seen in a long time; it's got a great concept, brilliant worldbuilding, and interesting character interactions.
And in the complicated category, I'm also nominating:
Super Mario Galaxy I and II (chromatic creators; the main characters of the series are white, but I'm only nominating non-human characters like cosmic clones and toads) -- so much fun!
and RPF - NBA (many NBA players are chromatic, but I only nominated Amar'e Stoudemire, an African-American forward previously with the Phoenix Suns and currently with the NY Knicks; no creators) -- Amar'e Stoudemire is one half of my mid-aughts basketball OTP, which was Steve Nash/Amar'e Stoudemire, one of the best point guard/forward combinations in the NBA. If you're interested in NBA RPF, here's a vid about their amazing plays [song contains gunfire].
