Artist Gives Disney Icons Realistic Bodies, and the Results Are Eye-Opening
Get ready for a magical makeover! Wyethe Smallish has given classic Disney princes and princesses a fresh, fuller-figured look, celebrating body diversity in the most charming way. These reimagined characters might just change the way you see fairy tales!
1. Ariel
Y'ALL I'M GIGGLING, YOU GUYS ARE ACTUALLY GOONERS her body is not obese you realize that right?
Ariel is supposed to be 16, not 40. Her body was fine in the original. No change was needed.
Real
This is not obese, this is a normal woman's body. You just like little girl bodies
Arial is in her early teens... most the princesses are. This is a normal body for a 30 or 40 year old woman lol
The body dysmorphia is strong in this one
You have body dysmorphia
If females are THAT insecure with their own bodies that a CARTOON DRAWING tears down your self esteem. No. Your issues are deep seated and you need extreme professional help.
You sound very negative and miserable
She also has a mermaid tail.. Which is also anatomically impossible..
And she shouldn't be anorexic like the before pics either. No healthy person looks like that exaggerated stick figure
These are teenage girls not grown women. I was stick thin as a teenager. Can we please stop trying to normalize obesity? It’s not healthy to encourage young people that it’s okay to be overweight and not try to do anything about it because it’s “normal”.
Spoken like a true 2013 Tumblr n Pinterest princess. Iykyk and tbh I'm assuming based off the self hatred seeping out of that comment that oh yea yk
Even teenage girls don't have waists the size of their forearm💀🙄
Yeahhhh there's no way you were that thin and if you were you were NOT WELL and PROBABLY DYING. Og art in this is unrealistic
I mean, she wasn't a woman. she was a girl. wasn't she like 16? most 16 year olds aren't that curvy yet
She'd definitely not look like the original though. I'm 16 and ive never seen anyone with a body shape like that
I was curvy at 15
I quite disagree with a lot of these comments I feel it is very possible for her to be chubby some girls are just born that way and personally I like her better that way :)
Same
She's much more graceful that way
of course you do..
Considering her entire way of travel is by swimming, there’s no way she would look like that. She’d be in great shape if anything.
In the original movie you do see some plus sized mermaids. I’m sure they too were exclusively traveling by swimming.
Aren't they swimming slowly upright? She is literally going all over the ocean where others don't go and WAY more active than any others :)
Great shape doesn't equate the a waist size of your arm...
I've been a professional swimmer for 10+ years, I look like that. Not everyone is skin and bones just because they swim
Plus she just eats seafood and seaweed lol
Ariel is constantly moving. She would not look like that.
I feel like Ariel would have some solid abs 😂😂
It's not about her being fit but that the proportions are completely unrealistic. Look at the size of her arm compared to the size of her waist. They're the same. That's anatomically impossible, that's the point.
I have been a professional swimmer for over ten years and I look like that
Unrealistic cartoons that set unrealistic expectations.
What expectations it's a Disney movie for kids...
Yeah..and what happens when kids grow up watching Disney movies with unrealistic body standards. Fast track to an ED
Although yes that's true some parents won't care and will make them feel worse about themselves despite being unhealthy themselves
Best to watch all the other movies with the better body standards.
Exactly, and young girls are looking at it as if it's a correct representation of size. Even if you want to say it's a mermaid so it doesn't count, every other Disney princess is proportioned like this. They're waists are about the size of their forearm, which is completely unrealistic and anatomically impossible. Children grow up looking to these things and their expectations are that life looks like this. Kids are very impressionable and what we show them matters.
I grew up watching all the princess movies and trust me.....it's not that deep. Children gain these kind of "expectations" from the way their parents talk about bodies and weight, especially their mothers along with their peers. Never once as a child or even adult did I watch a cartoon and say to myself "why don't I look like that". I was never self conscious about my body until I entered middle school and was bullied by other girls, nothing to do with some cartoon I watched. The very real flesh and blood girls did enough of that. Stop blaming cartoons for insecurities that are from something else. If your child is interpreting a cartoon as realistic expectations whether it be weight, relationships, etc then that's on you as the parent to not have instilled in them the ability to recognize reality from an animated movie.
Exactly!!
Say goodbye to the era of only slim mermaids! Ariel is making a splash with a new wave of self-love, proving that confidence looks good at any size.

Meet Tiana, the hardworking and unstoppable princess who’s redefining beauty! Rocking her gorgeous green gown, she proves that elegance, strength, and success come in all shapes and sizes.
8. Rapunzel
A starving prisoner carrying 30 to 50 lb around with them constantly at all times if they can never take a break from because that's how much their hair that's attached to them ways is going to be fit... How about you show girls that they can be toned and in shape without being skinny in anorexic and without being overweight but it's okay to look a normal size there is An IN-Between from which y'all are trying to do... This one is the best so far this Rapunzel actually looks fit and toned not skinny and not overweight. Bravo good job.

Comments
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
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.
