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

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.

To me it seems like like your idea of realistic is just in body type, I don't see any change in features like the eyes, nose or mouth. I agree that she is unrealistically slim but instead of making her plus size(in the last one) you can just make her realistic slim

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 😅

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.

Jasmin isnt that skinny in th4 original..thats easily obtainable. Thats not even the ozempic vs lizzo debate...thats just across alp incomes obtainable.

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

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.

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
