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.

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

This is just weird. If we're going by realistic standards no princess in this time frame would have a backside like that unless they had multiple skirts and a cage to keep them lifted.

They all look pregnant! It's not ok to support being large! We have so many unhealthy young people and too much glamorizing pregnancy before marriage and teen pregnancy! It's not a badge honor!

Actually that's not exactly realistic either.. the original waist maybe but the rest is not.. can people not be skinny? I have a fast metabolism so some people are like that no matter what, it's only the waist that's not realistic

If they were trying to not body shame why the heck did they change the jawline? Some woman do have really pointed jaws and again the character is too wide. These women are thin as that's what women of their time strive to be and the majority of women maintained that healthy weight. A little wider was reasonable, this much wider is changing the character design to the point of not fitting the personality agaiin.

Don't bother trying to create anything new,that's way too hard,let's just fudge some old stuff up and see if we get some attention

This is normal sizing that's plus sizing. Not realistic of a young girl, since they are supposed to be young ladies at the time these movies came out.

I think the redesign is pointless, this is a cartoon story not reality. The cartoon is telling a story to activate the imagination. Why change a classic.

Natural body? So more on the plus size is natural? What about people with fast metabolisms who can't control it? That's not a natural body?

Natural body as in "able to exist in NATURE.

Natural body as in NO Real World Person's NECK and WAIST is the same circumference no matter HOW fast their metanbolism is, you absolute walnut.

I guess that was done for the people who sit on a couch and stuff Potato chips in their mouth all day. And then act like being a normal weight is unnatural.

The modified versions still look like a normal weight, and it's actually unnatural/abnormal for both one's neck and one's waist to be the same circumference. But, I guess if you only look at animated caricatures of women it would skew your perceptions just a tad.

One simply does not let this comment remain here.

I highly doubt that they literally are the same. Even if so, I also highly doubt that the people who literally starve themselves into skeletons and abuse laxatives to attain those high fashion figures are the examples of picture perfect health we want as role models for our children.

This broke our hearts, so we had to delete it.

It’s a realistic body, not one one with a 2 inch waist. The artist changed so it doesn’t look like they are wearing a corset all the time and making kids think that they should look like it and from what I can tell, aurora is severely underweight

BUT THEY ARE CARTOONS,I SUPPOSE YOU WANT THE TALKING ANIMALS TOO LOOK MORE "anatomically correct too" .Cartoons are made for the kids,it's a land of make beleave,just because you can't stay out the cookie jar ,dosent mean every character real or fictional has too look like you,want more realism don't watch Cartoons ( oh yeah in some Cartoons people can fly , why is this not as much of an issue as a 20" in waist ) think there may be some spite from an over fed population weighing in on this

Golly gosh they're CARTOONS?!?!?! I never would have guessed!

Once again, this in no way shape or form takes away the originals. This is just a person's reimagining of what they would look like if they had the proportions of real, non-cartoon people.

Quite a flying leap to take, to go from that to a "spiteful overfed population." You're just showcasing your own issues and insecurities in your comment, I hope you realize that.

Upper one is fine. Lower one is pretty weird, her head is built like the trollface, but everything else is fine.

No if you want to make into some real life story and not into some fairybtale fantasy movie thats why they look like that because people dont want to go to the movies to watch a very realstic film about someones body unless it was a documentary series. Were trying to help push morale and not have some person get attacked for eating popcorn in the movie theatre because theyre skinny

Aurora was based off a real person, and while laced in her corset looked exactly like the original. And given the "character" was a peasant for most of her life, she wouldn't be over weight cause to be that size was a status symbol. Look all bodies are beautiful in their own ways but to encourage obesity is just as dangerous as telling someone to extreme diet, all I'm going to ask is that you be careful and don't turn this into a healthy at every size.

The lovely model was Helene Stanley, and if you look at photos of her you'll see that she looks a lot more like the first redraw here. The one in the black bodice, not the ballgown.

Notably, unlike Aurora, Ms Stanley's waist is not the same width as her neck.

I agree with the rest of your points! But no, the animated Aurora's figure is not remotely realistic.

This comment was too dangerous for society.

So? It's just fine being an old fatty? The characters are just fine the way they are. No need to make them look obese.

This is so personal that we just can't show it to you.

Why has everyone got to see themselves in fictional characters these days?. Most of these are cartoons made decades before the kids of today were even born. You either have overweight and unhealthy little girls, or little girls too dumb to know the difference between a cartoon and reality.

The comment didn't pass the sanity test.

and replace them with identical reproduction, but they have new slender women in them. People would not be happy. And where is the history of what things were like back then. You just don't change things that are already set in history. I mean you wouldn't take out Quasimoto's hunch back, would you?

No, the magic of Disney is the smooth and beautiful animation. The fact that it's fantasy has little to do with it, since plenty of fantasy cartoon movies exist, but many don't have the touch that Disney did.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

These are fantasy films. Why can't we enjoy movies for the fun and escapism they provide. Why must we tare everything down with reality.

This isn’t more realistic it’s just fatter. Let’s wake up and admit our country has an issue with obesity and we need to address it. Stop validating unhealthy lifestyles to patronize the masses. Stop watching movies and go for a walk

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
