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.

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

I wonder if the artist realizes they are actually body shaming by claiming fit and thin bodies are not realistic?

There exists people in the world who are actually fit. I think the artist is projecting

You got Eric... then you got Eric's goofy cousin. Yall should've left this one alone. Not everyone was overweight. I understand with the women's stick like waists, but this was not necessary.

so you believe the obese, lumpy version is more realistic for a man who was previously fit, muscular, and had a defined jaw line. i guess its more realistic for him to hord food now too 😂

A guy can be pudgy, but a sailor on a ship cannot be pudgy. You HAVE to be in shape for that job. Being out of shape could get you seriously injured or killed on a ship. I guess you could say he has to be in ship shape. 😏

I see men all the time looking like the original. Most men of this age group work out and keep their bodies fit.

Despite finding the rest of these fine so far, I don't really like this one, personally. Many men commonly have a very angular jawline, and it has little to do with their weight. Maybe the degree of his angular jaw is a bit overdone in the original. That's just my non-artist take though. The rest of it, adding a bit of weight to him, I guess is fine. I think somewhere in the middle would be what I would prefer personally, but I'm not really an artist, so I wouldn't know.

I dunno, I've also seen plenty of men with the softer jawline of the edit, and they weren't particularly overweight either. Not every man has a chiseled lantern jaw and an "inverted triangle" torso and it's just as important to show boys that diverse body types can be heroic too.

Why can't people just leave Disney cartoons and rides alone. Things have been fine for 100 years so why change it now. People are overly sensitive to everything these days.!

Because many people have body dysmorphia, or eating disorders. Many girls have it because they were told that those princesses were how women should look. Many boys also feel they have to fit the "princely" mold. "Things have been fine" no, people have ignored the issue. Kids starving themselves to look like princesses and surgeries to have sharper jaws is not "fine".

They aren't changing the movies though... this is just an artist's interpretation. If you don't like it, then who cares? I'd understand being upset if they changed the movies, but nobody is doing that.

100 years ago was Jim Crow were we fine then? Some things are not fine the way they are lol ….i do believe in keeping classics the way they are as much as possible but if it’s going to be replayed in modern world and it’s detrimental from back then world than it needs to be tweaked and altered point blank ! PERIOD

Idk if bringing up Jim Crow and other detrimental parts of history from 100 years ago will do much good here - mentalities like Carol's value tradition and "preserving history" over any effect it has on real people. They'd waste endless real and virtual breath defending THINGS like The Song Of The South or some dumb statues celebrating the losing side of a war fought about slavery before they'd ever come to the defense of any real live actual people who feel negatively impacted by the aforementioned.

this makes sense since she's been locked in a tower her whole life, she can't have an amazing fitness routine

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.

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
