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

The second to last picture is not realistic because they gave her a baby belly pooch that women get after they have a baby she hadn't had a baby yet in that scene therefore that picture is not realistic because that specific pooch is a baby belly pooch you get from after a baby

Ariel is supposed to be 16, not 40. Her body was fine in the original. No change was needed.

The comment was arrested by the vice squad.

I think this is great. Sometimes it's good for the children watching princess movies and such to see their own body shape, not one a model would have.

Must be an American artist because all Americans are obese now, so they think everything has to be obese and unhealthy.

The show is over. The comment is hidden.

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.

Regardless of the new art the original has Ariel with a waist the size of her forearm which is anatomically impossible😂😂

Oops. We didn't mean to delete it. It just happened.

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”.

Oops, the admin pressed "delete".

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 :)

The comment has left, but promises to come back.

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.

This comment was too good to show it to everyone.

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 :)

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.

Yeah..and what happens when kids grow up watching Disney movies with unrealistic body standards. Fast track to an ED

They’re cartoons 😭😭 parents should teach their kids that they’re drawings and they don’t need to compare themselves to fictional character

Although yes that's true some parents won't care and will make them feel worse about themselves despite being unhealthy themselves

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.

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.

2. 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.

3. Elsa

She's not feminine looking enough in this makeover she looks like someone took a shield and tied it down to flatten her chest and stomach and she just looks like she's wearing a wide shield over herself

The ice queen is bringing the heat with her stunning new look! Ditching the classic slim figure for a curvier one, Elsa shows us that true beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, so let’s let it go with outdated standards!

4. Princess Aurora

Again, face shape is fine. Also corsets were a thing back then and these girls most likely wore them.

In a fairy-tale twist, Sleeping Beauty woke up to a world where all body types are celebrated! With her gorgeous new curves, Aurora proves that you don’t need to be slim to enchant a kingdom or steal the heart of a charming prince.

5. Prince Eric

No. The left is actually pretty realistic considering the physical work he did and the life he led. This 'artist' is clearly making their ulterior motives known.

Check out Prince Eric’s bold new look! He’s proving that heroism isn’t about having a chiseled jawline or a slim physique, it’s about confidence, kindness, and a heart of gold!

6. Cinderella

She barely eats and is always the most active in the house, how is she chubby??

Cinderella’s got a little more to twirl in that iconic ball gown! With her stunning new curves, she proves that you don’t have to be petite to steal the show, and the prince’s heart, before midnight!

7. Princess Tiana

All these people saying she's chubby. She isn't chubby, that is a normal body. 💀 Some of the previous pictures were chubby, this one isnt.

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.

Rapunzel is letting down her hair and leveling up her confidence! With her stunning new look, she proves that you don’t need a slim figure to reach new heights, just a little courage and a lot of fabulous hair!

9. Jasmine

Too much you overdid it on her princess Jasmine. Once again royalty is going to be typically in good shape. I'll go halfway in between where you started from and where you went

Check out Jasmine, our fearless Arabian princess, soaring on her magic carpet with confidence and curves! Rocking her iconic turquoise outfit, she proves that ruling a kingdom, and breaking stereotypes, has nothing to do with size!

10. Mulan

Good job on Mulan but I would like to see her with more fit toning the muscle in her arm looks good but it needs to be more defined because it almost looks flabby and that most definitely would not be the case for a military warrior

Mulan’s strength, determination, and stunning new curves prove that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. She reminds us that true bravery isn’t about appearance, it’s about the fire within!

11. Meg

Notice how they leave the top of the chest alone? This is just 'that' kind of art. And being chunky myself makes me disgusted that I'd probably accidentally attract this person.

Check out Meg, the fierce Greek goddess! She’s showing us that you don’t need to be super skinny to take on mighty gods, save the day, and serve up some serious sass while doing it!

12. Belle and Adam

Prince Adam is rocking a fuller figure, proving that fairy-tale endings aren’t about fitting a certain look, they’re about self-acceptance and love. His transformation challenges old stereotypes and reminds us that true beauty always comes from within!

Who hasn’t wondered what their favorite cartoon characters would look like all grown up? Well, our illustrators have brought that dream to life! They’ve reimagined beloved characters as adults, giving us a glimpse into their future.

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

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.
