An Artist Redesigns Disney Characters Giving Them Realistic Bodies

Prepare for an enchanting transformation! Wyethe Smallish has created a wonderful, diverse collection of fuller-figured princes and princesses. These reimagined characters challenge traditional beauty norms most delightfully.

1. Belle

Whoever made these didn't register the fact that these Disney "princesses" didn't start as princesses. They were hard working women, HARD WORK. Like, labor. And their diets were different. Simple. So, these bodies don't make sense.

No amount of hard work will realistically get anyone the exact body proportions of the original designs.

That is what is meant by "realistic" - the idea that the bodies on the right can actually exist in nature.

You're turning someone from the 1700s into an image of someone from the 2000s who literally has a completely different lifestyle than a villager from rural France would have ever had.

Really? Where?? Who out there naturally has a waist that is roughly the same dimensions as their neck, naturally (as in without the aid of over-laced corsets)?

Leaving aside any argument of realism, anorexia, obesity, or all the other neurosis and over analysis everyone has to put onto everything the days; this was someone's art. This was someone else's creation and vision and the "artist", if we insist on calling them that, had absolutely no right to vandalise these creations with there own narcissistic, self righteous, ideological interference.
This is akin to book burning and an affront to free expression and creativity of the original artists.

I guess you didn't know that you can get a tummy like that from just gaining weight rapidly and that it has and does happen to young girls who have not been pregnant. This isn't the movie, just a variant and yet there are young girls who look like this.

Who really cares? All these women and male feminists with their silly intolerant rants at everyone should chill out, didn't notice any of them complaining about He-Man.....grow up people, it's your job as parents to explain to your kids that it's not real....

I understand if you make the waist a bit wider, but its realistid to be thin too. There are so many thin women

That is unrealistic obvi, but it's an art style, come after Invader Zim or SpongeBob if you're complaining about how a Disney princess looks.
I've never seen a young girl ever get depressed over the waist of a cartoon.

And this is just a fun little "what if they had more realistic proportions?" thought exercise.

Nobody is "coming after" the originals, the originals still exist, and you may now officially calm your tatas.

Most of the Disney princesses and princes are from the past where sugar was for the rich, and only the rich were plump, the rest of the population were slim because they did not have alot of food, plus they had to do chores, they labored on farms, had jobs with no machines to do the work only animals, this also kept them slim, you can see this in old paintings and then old pictures, foods in the past didn't have all the preservatives, chemicals and fats, as does the foods of todays World, therefore to make them all plump just to please certain people, is just telling them a lie, for research shows the middle class and poor ate healthy and therefore we're not plump, although the rich were plump. All the princess were middle class or poor, and the little mermaid was a vegetarian so there is no sugar or fats in the Sea, stop telling lies Disney.

With all due respect, I highly doubt your daughter actually look like these princesses. They might be thin, but no one looks like them. Also, even if they did, they most definitely are not the majority, and perpetuating unrealistic standards that the general mass will never meet in disconcerting. Coming as a teen girl myself.

Only valid thing you said was that you're a child, cause man just said his daughters love the way disney characters look, and you just took that and ran. Setting aside the numerous assumptions, it's clear you came with an idea in mind not an actual "reason behind" meaning you just disrespected dude off a false assumption completely unrelated to what he actually said cause, you infact didn't respond to what he said but why you think he said it.

So with that let's take a moment to apologize to the nice man, cause he just expressed one thing that being his daughters enjoy the depictions seen in the original artist depiction. And for that he doesn't deserve to be called a liar and a fool for stating that, he's actually entirely justfied of making a fool out of you cause again, your criticism is built off of something you yourself came up with, entirely separate from what he actually said. Now that, that's out of the way, reason I'm saying something as a bystander is because your clearly projecting like a mutherfycker, I suggest you seek proper mental help in order to gain control of your reasoning and sense of self worth.

You see that?^ how I just projected what I think without knowing anything about you? Crazy how that feels right.

All due with respect this why it was called artist edits not disney originals ok dont know if ya missed the title and most woman are not skinny and I love the way disney looks to but do I look as SKINNY as a disney charictor no so I think plus sized people apreshiate this realistically sized disney not all these comets saying stuff like morbidly obesity and trash like that

I still feel like y'all chubby people should stop looking for things y'all can use to validate or justify your looks. Just accept and love yourselves the way you are instead of lashing out on others on the Internet just cause y'all can

Went because your daughters look like them. Even I think they went to far on some of them but they never said they were applying this to Disney. An artist had the right to paint what they want or draw what they want. That's like saying you can't tweak a recipe from its original because you didn't create it. And please never say the comment about your girls looking just like Disney girls do they need to leave them alone! Not everybody's daughter looks that way & it made you sound like a privileged privilege (we should all leave them alone because Jennifer's beautiful daughters look like them and she said it so we can't use are creativity & artistry anymore). At least not on her daughter's look-a- likes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The original bodies are realistic, especially for their eras. Just because we live more comfortable lives, more availability of food choices and less need to be active all day to survive, doesn't mean we gatekeep what a real body image is.

This comment was too dangerous for society.

These stories are fictional, the characters, the kingdoms and countries, the magic.. all of it. The characters don't need to be historically accurate, but they can teach children there are multiple body types among the other lessons they sometimes convey. This doesn't alter the movies in any way either, y'all do realize this right? You can just click off the page n it's gone. Real life magic.

From the article: "Belle proves that intelligence and beauty come in all sizes. She has already taught us once to look beyond appearances and appreciate the true essence of a
person."
Funny how that doesn't apply to accepting a skinny person's appearance...

All right, when slender people face the same kind of intolerance and animosity as full-figured people, then we can talk about "skinny acceptance."

Funny how all the princesses only portray skinny girls and you simply create art depicting other body types and it's suddenly an attack on skinny ppl. Get real. The princesses ARE skinny they aren't altered by this art in the least.

Belle isn't rich ,before she marries the Beast so her body is normal for the time period because I doubt she was eating a lot of high calorie fattening foods.

And the average female now is a plus size, or close to. The average 20 yr old female in thee United States now weight 170 lbs. I'm a smaller person and it's pretty easy to see she is not a stick in the revised, but more average for this decade, not 40 yrs ago.

Oops. The comment was captured by a UFO.

the reason why they have small waists is because they have corsets under, that's historically accurate. moreover, realistic bodies do not mean a chunky waist

-

And if you only saw the redraw without the original right next to it, you probably wouldn't find her waist "chunky" at all. Corset or no, women still have ribcages and internal organs - that's what we mean by realistic.

Not all women have a chunky waist, real or not, skinny women exist and shouldn't be thrown off the curb just because they're deemed prettier than chubby women.

They aren't off a curb, this is a piece of Art and since skinny women are already in the movies... There's no need for them to be represented here.

There's no point in hiding the truth, but we'll try.

The fact that “realistic” bodies r now just portrayed to be chunkier and overweight is honestly sad and also it’s a cartoon like ofc there not accurate sizing 😭😭 there kids movie it doesn’t even matter

Oh that's complete nonsense! There's young girls that will starve themselves because they think they need to look like the Disney princesses.

Pretending that doesn't happen won't change that fact.

So the girls see these girls, but it doesn't matter? They don't want to imitate them? They don't want princess dresses like them, as well as look like them from head to toe? Yes, to all of them is the obvious, honest answer.

Reminder that Disney Princesses were modeled after REAL WOMEN. They are realistic, modern women are just fatties.

Funny, I tried to find all the historic pictures of "REAL WOMEN" who REALLY had those exact proportions and came up empty.

Either I'm looking in the wrong places orrrrrr maybe animators tend to exaggerate even real models' features to unrealistic degrees. Hmmm...I wonder which it could be...

Uh, yeah actually. Everyone wore corsets or their predecessors, a pair of stays. They are actually rather comfortable and we're necessary to support the popular skirts and multiple petticoats that were worn. Even the working class. Corsets allow for quite a good range of movement and do not restrict breathing if yiu are not tight lacing them. Tight lacing, historically, was extremely uncommon because it was neither comfortable, nor practical.

-

Reply

I doubt they would have been a necessity to support the rather simple dress she wore in the beginning of the movie. And if it wasn't practical to lace them tightly - especially when doing chores - then is it so peculiar for Belle to have a more normal-sized waist in the above scene instead of an overly-cinched one?

Yes, indeed. Peasant girls also wore corsets during those time periods, and women did wear corsets while doing daily chores.

But as Maria stated they wouldn't be tightly laced so her waist would in fact still look more like the picture on the right vs the picture on the left.

Belle proves that intelligence and beauty come in all sizes. She has already taught us once to look beyond appearances and appreciate the true essence of a person.

2. Princess Aurora

In a dreamlike twist, this sleeping beauty awoke to a world where every body type is appreciated! Now with a fuller figure, Aurora demonstrates that you don’t need to be skinny to captivate kingdoms or win over charming princes.

3. Ariel

Gone are the days of only slender princesses under the sea! Ariel is all set to dive into new waves of self-confidence and embrace body positivity.

4. Elsa

The ice queen is turning up the heat with her bold new appearance! Swapping her slim frame for a more curvaceous one, Elsa encourages us to let go of old beauty ideals.

5. Cinderella

Girl was up from dawn to dusk cleaning a mansion, tending a farm, and fed scraps... Plus, they wore corsets with gowns, so what's going on?

Our favorite princess with the lost glass slipper now has a bit more to flaunt. Rocking her beautiful gown, she shows that you don’t need to be petite to be the star of the ball!

6. Princess Tiana

Worked with a lot of black women, and some black women are just rail-skinny and the original Tianna here looks curvy by comparison.

Meet Tiana, the determined and industrious princess who’s breaking new ground! In her stunning green attire, she exemplifies that beauty encompasses a variety of shapes and sizes.

7. Jasmine

Okay everything was looking fine until that last picture when she loke gained 10 pounds. The artwork isn't just lacking in skill but it's also really inconsistent.

Check out Jasmine, our adventurous Arabian princess soaring on her magic carpet with a fuller figure! Decked out in her signature turquoise attire, she’s setting an inspiring example that ruling a kingdom doesn’t require a slim physique.

8. Meg

Look at Meg, the Greek goddess! She’s proving that you don’t have to be super skinny to save the day and stand up to powerful gods.

9. Mulan

Is there a good reason you added more definition to the jaw? It makes her face look just a little too much like a man's and a woman doesn't bulk up that much unless she's a body builder. You can add the muscle but her small figure was accurate. Her shoulders shouldn't be so wide.

-

Mulan’s strength, determination, and her new curvy figure prove that heroines can look different and still be powerful. It teaches us that true bravery comes from inside, no matter your shape or size.

10. Belle And Adam

Adam, our prince, has embraced a fuller body, teaching us that fairy tale endings aren’t about having a slim, royal look. Their story challenges stereotypes and encourages us to accept and love ourselves and others. It’s a reminder that real beauty comes from within.

11. Prince Eric

But he worked on a ship, prince of not. Update could be him in 10-15 years after sitting on the throne but not in his prime

Check out Prince Eric with his new look! He’s showing us that you don’t have to have a slim body to be a true hero.

Rapunzel is rocking her new princess look with her flowing locks. She’s proving that climbing a tower of confidence doesn’t require a slender figure.

DOES EVERYONE HATE FUN? THEY ALL LOOKED ANOREXIC BEFORE LEAVE THE ARTIST ALONE AND JUST APPRECIATE THE ART PLEASE

Yes, many -- if not most -- female characters in cartoons and anime are drawn with unrealistic proportions. Not exaggerating them would be remarkable but I would applaud the effort if there was any real artistry involved. All the artist did was thicken the waistlines and widen the bust on some of them. There's no extra definition of the curves and the few changes to the faces are frankly awful. They didn't do most of these princesses any favors. If you're going to make them full figured, do it right and respect the source material. An AI would have done a better job giving them life like figures.

None of these characters were created in the twenty first century and it's common fact that the older you go back in time, the thinner the women are because no one was too busy faking inclusivity and pro obesity
