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

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

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

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

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

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

The images of her in blue i can see being maybe a little realistic if she were a common placed girl. But as a princess she would have been smaller. They usually are in reality. But that red outfit. No way that is realistic.

Sincere question, how do you figure that she would have been smaller just because she's a princess? Royalty often had access to more food/better quality food, and they didn't work highly physical jobs - not to mention that "skinny" only became in vogue as a human beauty standard relatively recently. For centuries being on the curvier side was arguably more desirable as it meant one was wealthy enough to regularly afford full meals.

Okay they focus on the females but look at Aladdin he's waist is very unrealistic too.

Yeah, but it's a trend that female bodies are always portrayed unrealistically and it can cause a lot of body-image problems for children and young girls who would have those issues regardless

Aladdin can fit his organs in that waist 💀 Jasmine definitely can't. My husband has a similar body type to Aladdin, he's on the skinnier side. Not a soul on earth has Jasmines though.

So in real life if someone was as skinny or slender as that they would be committed either medically or psychiatrically because you'd have a problem 😅

being skinny isn’t that bad or “unrealistic’’ what’s wrong with being a bit skinny?

Nobody is saying that being skinny is bad or unrealistic. They are saying that the physical proportions in the originals would never be found in a real live human body and are presenting realistic alternatives.

If you're talking about the original drawing here, no. Her waist is only slightly wider than her neck. That's not "easily obtainable" for any human being without involving the removal of ribs and organs. And she's clearly not even wearing a corset, so that excuse can't be used here.

That green stuff that's growing on the ground outside, you might want to go and touch some of it.

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

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

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

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.

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

If you, as an adult look at a caricature and perceive it as a realistic rendering you should probably get an eye exam, a CT scan and see a phycologist. A child however may not have the emotional intelligence to differentiate. That is the point.

You really just fattened all of them up. U do realise that them looking slim is actually a nod to health for the children watching them cuz all these princesses were physically active people so there is no way those edits are realistic. Also most children really don't care
