Same. I love it too people just prefer to see skinny skeletons on Disney than the actual may different body shapes there in irl
I think my only problem with it is it goes too far in the other direction. I'm heavy myself, but not because it's "realistic". It's because I got into bad habits as a kid and can't break them. If they want to show realism, it should be what kids CAN be and not what's common these days because of fast food and lack of exercise. A lot of the men the artist changed WERE realistic like Eric and the Beast
Because everyone want to jump on the body shaming train and don't realize what the actual intended message was
You realize that thin people exist, right?
You do realize most princesses wore corsets so they would quite literally be THAT thin...
Plus Ariel swims constantly... so..... guess
Danny, why don't you put a corset on and cinch it that tight. Have fun breathing amd bruising your ribs.
You forget: in those days, they began wearing corsets at around the age of 7.
By the time they grew up, they were well accustomed to them.
not most of them. mulan, jasmine, ariel, cindy, meg, elsa, tiana, belle, and rapunzel definately didn't. in fact i don't think there is proof that any disney princess wore corsets. they have slimmer arms and legs, so why would their waist be any different.
Oh, wow. If I wouldn't've guessed, I thought they were cartoons or something!
Created an account just to say this. A lot of this is normal/healthy body mass. 'They're wearing a corset' corsets that tight would literally restrict breathing and damage your ribs. Take it from someone who works with and makes corsets. Also, this isn't 'chubby'. Chubby depends on a persons body frame and genes. Either way, it's more realistic than the prior. I don't have an issue with either, but a lot of you are so pressed about someone imagining women with more time-accurate bodies. Look around you at the women in your life and tell me how many of them have a waist under 20''. Look at most clothing size charts.
Your answer to this is look around and see that most people are over weight so we should teach our kids that it is good to be over weight?
As someone who grew up pudgy and still am to this day, I was and still kinda am insecure about it because when I was younger and would see Disney princesses I thought I was supposed to be that pretty and skinny. What this person is saying is the fact you have to look around closely, I've never seen an overweight person while outside. You replying with this what if you end up making someone(pudgy or chubby or really any body type) think they are overweight? It can mess with them mentally and emotionally, change how they see food and although yes it's healthy to change eating habits it can also be unhealthy depending on how rapidly it changes
Well if it you must be that persnickety, then, look up the stats of fitness athletes and tell me how many have waists under 24"
I like the concept but I disagree. The better lesson is to teach our youth and future generations that we come in different shapes and sizes and thats the way it should b. There is some blame for those that perpetrate the myth of the perfect body only because the perfect body doesn't exist.
Just b u, b a good person. Thats what matters.
Yes, but the majority of them, actually all of them, look like they have the waist the size of their forearm and that's not even realistic in typical body standards. You can have them be thin while also proportioned appropriately so we're not creating this illusion that your waist is supposed to be so small that it can't even house your organs.
The problem with this is while some are more realistic some are very much not. Realistic doesn’t automatically mean chubby. Realistic can be anything. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes whether skinny, medium chubbier, or etc. Girls can also be skinny with a bit of belly too so at the end of the day we need to realize that being realistic is recognizing every body shape and body type.
children are not idiots, they know what's realistic. when I was a kid I laughed at Aurora's tiny waist because I knew how silly that would look on a normal person. I guarantee you that kids are more focused on Ariel's tail than her cup size, kids want the poofy dress and the fairy godmother, not feet so tiny that not a single girl in the whole kingdom could fit in her shoes
You saying "realistic bodies" is just kind of silly. All the artists did was make then chubby when there was no use. Okay, I'll admit some of the art made sense but the rest was just unnecessary. Are you insinuating that the only way for them to be realistic is for them to be chubby, if so then what the heck are you doing?. Every body is unique and perfect, there's no need to make them chubby to fit into a one sided perpective
So I notice that some of the photos made them look chubby but I don't think that was intended, if he had changed the height to fit the thickness then they wouldn't have looked chubby at all
These stories are fantasies! Nothing about them is supposed to be "realistic". Even the kids get it. Just leave it alone, jeesh
Notice on no. 9/13 the male body stayed the same? Really inclusive.... Thank goodness male body perception is not on the decline. Not everyone can be Jasmin's Aladdin
Tell me you don't understand artistic expression without telling me.
It's just crazy how people will criticize one little thing, no matter what it is. Can't ever appraise something, just negativity. Let the artist have fun and do what they like, I'd like to see some of you commenters try to draw.
