An Artist Redesigns Disney Characters Giving Them Realistic Bodies

Ficking made Belle's arem huge for no reason.

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.

"Just make them thicker"

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.

Trying to say that women can’t be skinny and would be thicker is a lil… weird

Syko Savy

I just feel like she swims all day and would realistically have 6 pack abs.

Syko Savy

Just like all of those whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, walruses...

Irismelody Atkisson

So being skinny isn’t normal?

Toby Lichtenberger

Irismelody Atkisson

It’s actully realistic that she would be over weight because of blubber

Ican’tthinkofaname oof

Irismelody Atkisson

That’s what I’m saying…you don’t have to make them fatter because some people are skinny. Don’t change their body type, but make it normal by expanding their waist. That’s literally it.

Micheal levorson

I can tell women find you repugnant in one sentence

Noemi

Most Disney princesses wear corsets, so it makes sense if they have unnaturally small waists. And Ariel is a mermaid so she isn’t technically a human, and doesn’t actually need to look exactly like one.

Candie Hatch

2nd photo exaggerated a little.

Jennifer Tim

This one isn't so bad. Just make the waist and chest be proportionate. Then she wont look over weight

Jayden

How do all of these look wrong

Zooey Stowell

Do yall know how much ariel swims and movies that portion of her torso per day???

Zooey Stowell

Right. She will have lost her internal organs by that age, as one does.

Of all these the last is best

But then there's the fact that a
Ariel's body is also realistic so this was unnecessary

Realistic if you've had your organs removed

Pooh Tadabear tate

To make ariel ah li chunky is insane 😂😂

Yeah cause somebody who swims all her life would not be skinny

Somebody who lives deep in the ocean would succumb to the cold if they didn't have some sort of insulation.

Okay but the original looks like she has no ribs or organs keeping her alive.

Michael Zee

I agree with you there the originals were extremely unrealistic. But these redraws are too

Yuki

They hired me for the second realistic take 😂

Lol is this all a big joke? When will the woke nonsense end already!

2 days ago

If comments are hidden, there's a reason for this.

It's one person's take, and an article written about it. They're not changing the movies. There are plenty of artists who have drawn versions of the princesses that you'd want to see even less, they just don't have articles written about it. Get over yourself, and don't say "woke nonsense", the second you do, nobody takes you seriously.

Your right that's why we gonna hunt em down and end the bs. Problem solved

You sound like a real peach.

Big Brother is watching you.

Right. The woke wants you to believe women have internal organs. Absolutely ridiculous. Women don't need organs. (That's what you sound like)

Internal organs doesn't mean obesity. That's the lamest excuse that people are using. I got an idea learn to try to take care of yourself and don't be a glutton

Dakota Cooper

If you look at these and see "oBeSiTy" then that says more about you than anything else.

Stacie M

AMEN!! Couldn't have said it any better! I'm so sick of it all! We've had these characters like this for MANY years, some for 40 & their bodies were never an issue before!!

Um..the original Ariel is 12 years old. Just saying...

Lily Vecchio

Deja Kat (Kitkatandahalf)

I’m not all 12 year olds are toothpick thin! Hope this helps!

...the Ariel from the Disney Movie this is literally about is 16, idk what you're trying to say here

It's not "unrealistic" to be thin.

Crane

THANK YOU! Say it louder for the ones in the back that don't get it

But it IS unrealistic to be THAT thin. Seriously show me a single real healthy body that has the EXACT dimensions of the original drawing. I'll wait.

Tina Wrenn

Have you ever seen the movie White Christmas? The one female lead is Vera-Ellen. She had a body just like these.

Tina Wrenn

Yeah I just looked up Vera-Ellen and yes she's thin, but her waist is still thicker than her neck unlike the original. I'd say she looks closer to the redraw if anything, being a real actual person with real actual person proportions and all.

Cathie Jung smallest waist in the world

Exceptions are not the norm.

Cathie Jung, let's see...oh, surprise surprise, also wearing another overly cinched corset. The point you seem to have repeatedly missed is that no real body could ever attain those proportions naturally, all on their own, WITHOUT the use of a torso-crushing garment. Nice try, thanks for playing.

Diana Ringo 8 inch waist

Exceptions are far from the norm.

Also just looked up Diana Ringo and that "8 inch waist" is from the photos where she's wearing a very tightly cinched corset (and probably crushing all of her innards in the process.) So healthy, such a good role model. Now, show me on the flippin' mermaid where the corset is, I'll wait. 🙄

Something crazy happened here... Sorry, it's a secret.

In a 12 year old...b3cause originally thats what she is supposed to be

We've got nothing to hide. Except this comment.

Kiera M.

Literally nobody's waist is that thin. With those proportions, they wouldn't have organs 🤦‍♀️

Michael Zee

Kiera M.

Corsets were a thing at those times and it caused that waistline to develop unnaturally in females growing up historically speaking

8 hours ago

Michael Zee

Show me on the mermaid where the corset is. 🙄

Eddie Karnaghon

It's not physically possible to be that thin, dawg.

It's unrealistic to be this thin and still alive.

It's unrealistic to not have internal organs. Which is the only explanation for her being that small. You have a skewed perspective

Iris Hansen

Ariel is not realistic at all. She’s a mermaid, constantly moving. If anything she’d be a little more muscular

Crane

Iris Hansen

This is the best way anyone could've put it. Absolutely true

Iris Hansen

So I guess let's see a version of Ariel that looks like she could lift Prince Eric. That would be interesting.

Ayesha Jeppie

Bro the magic of Disney is that it I isn't realistic don't ruin it Bro the magic of Disney is that it I isn't realistic don't ruin it

People are allowed to disagree with you. Specially when you crusade against decades old cartoons.

GirMonster

She now has the body of a 35 year old - and in the 2nd example, she has now gone through labor and cant get rid or the weird stomach skin flap, relateable but i wouldsnt say this is the more realistic version of a very active teenage mermaid, kryword being mermaid. Can anyone feel my eyeroll?

GirMonster

Uhh, fwiw not everybody who has "the weird stomach skin flap" has had kids...

And unless she lived in perpetually-warm tropical waters, she'd "realistically" have a layer of blubber in order to keep from freezing deep in the ocean. (Wasn't this originally a Scandinavian tale? IJS that part of the world is not exactly known for its "beach weather"...)

It isnt real! Stop talking like it is!

Thomas Cornell

U mad?

Michael McDoesn't Exists

Dude. You're talking about realism over a frickin mermaid. A magical human fish which by all accounts shouldn't be able to live. With human eyes useless under water. Lack of grills. And so on. But you take issue with her waistline and that's the part when you want to force "logic". Come on

Michael McDoesn't Exists

Hey, YOU come on - I'm not the one making the claim that all mermaids would "logically" be skinny twigs because "dey swim a lot 🥴"

I'm sure whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, etc. (aka the O.G. "mermaids" that sailors saw) would be surprised to know that they're "unrealistic" with all the blubber despite also "swimming a lot."

The comment has left, but promises to come back.

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.

Have we forgotten they are cartoons? If we wanted realistic we would be watching the live action ones. Not really a fan of trying to turn fables into reality, but if we must remember back in the days that are suppose to be set in, the women of court all wore corsets.

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

I think I started a comment fight sorry

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

Okay, this one actually looks good.

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

Lexie Weston

And exactly why have they not "fixed" Aladin?? Men deserve to have their body images supported as well

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

There is a point of being too unrealistically thick, my guy.

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

Candie Hatch

Not enough change.

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

Candie Hatch

A little more fluff on the dress ain't nothing.

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

Some Old Lady

I think Eric's body was already realistic.

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.

12. Rapunzel

Julia Villani

I think you did a lovely job representing an additional version of beauty of princesses AND princes.

I read a surprising number of critical responses and it made me wonder if those contributors really acknowledge the shame placed upon girls, especially BIPOC, for not meeting a singular version of beauty. Yes,the cartoons are based upon fantasy but make no mistake the intended or affiliated programming of a very impressionable audience is apparent.

Embrace body positivity Beauty comes in all shapes, colors and sizes. BTW Jane Turkey with the most antiquated view of all - Who gives a royal s**t what the royals think about this. This artist's gift is for the little people, figuratively speaking of course. Thank you for your beautiful message through art Wyethe.

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.

Due to contemporary beauty norms, styling a plus-size body can be more challenging. However, one woman stepped up to help by sharing smart and innovative tips on how to enhance the look of any outfit for a fuller figure.

I think that the Disney princesses could be better to show the more realistic body, but I have seen many people with many different body types. But it is also big to remember that this is a made up story and the body is also made up and not real
