It’s common to see animated female characters with unrealistic waist-to-hip proportions, and it’s become a standard in cartoons. Snow White, however, stands out as the most anatomically accurate Disney princess. This is because animators used a live model for her, and Walt Disney himself wanted her to look more lifelike rather than overly cartoonish. It’s interesting to think about how other characters might appear if drawn with a similar approach to realism.
It is a normal expectation for kids to help out their parents with household chores and responsibilities. However, when all of this falls on a single person, things might get tough.

Sometimes we map out what we think characters in movies should look like. Whether it’s better for them to be portrayed by the opposite gender, a different race, or even an other actor. But it turns out these people did a marvelous job starring in each of these movies and TV shows. Actresses like Halle Bailey as Little Mermaid normalized people of color being cast in ordinary movies, bringing about more equality in people’s day-to-day lives.
Whenever we think of Disney princesses, we can’t help but think of their signature dresses. However, while we are used to seeing Belle in her yellow costume when dancing with the Beast, the reality is that, in the 18th century, fashion had nothing to do with what we see onscreen. That’s why we asked artificial intelligence to design the correct versions of these characters’ dresses, and now we are sharing the results with you.
Drew Barrymore became famous at the tender age of 7 years old after starring in the 1982 classic, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Kate Middleton is the daughter of an air traffic controller without a title of nobility. At the beginning of her life, she would make some mistakes in fashion and the media didn’t forgive a single of her mishaps. Her photo session for Vogue in the country style was criticized heavily.

When we are children, we could enjoy movies without analyzing too much about what we see. But when we watch them again as adults, it is possible to discover some hidden jokes or questions that escape all logic and make us laugh. For example, why don’t we ever wonder what’s wrong with Cinderella’s foot?
Animated films are the result of the work of many people who invest incredible amounts of time to achieve an excellent production. Sometimes it takes years to finish a film. And even though there are several revisions that these projects go through before being released, sometimes some long-hidden mistakes come to light.
The fairy tales we heard and read about when growing up are not what they seem to be. This is because, over time, the stories got changed so drastically that even the main plots are not what they used to be. One example is that Sleeping Beauty didn’t pinch her finger on a spindle at all.
Some scenes portrayed in movies have become classics in their genre or are now symbols that fans can identify with. No matter their genre, comedy, horror, or science fiction, fashion will always be present. Raise your hand if you’ve ever wished for Marty McFly’s futuristic sneakers like from Back to the Future, or yearned to at least try on Cinderella’s Swarovski crystal slippers.
When it comes to movies, sometimes it’s the bright and sophisticated costumes that delight viewers and reveal the characters. While the delicate work of a costume designer sometimes makes no less impression on us than the acting.
Until the year 1681, men were the main stars in ballet performances. It’s thanks to them that things like outward-turned feet and special hand positions appeared that were originally used in fencing — the not-so-convenient position of the feet helped the fencing fighter easily turn to any side.

It was released on May 5, 2000 in the United States and soon after became not only a box-office hit but also a great success in many ways. It actually contributed to the revival of the epic genre of films set in antiquity. The film won several awards, including 5 Oscars, most notably Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe.
When watching cartoons about princesses, we might not realize that it’s not just animated characters that we see on the screen. They simultaneously reflect the features of a certain time period and form the standards of women’s behavior and social norms of their period. If you look at those princesses closer, you’ll understand the goals of the girls from this or that decade, as well as their position in society. For more than 80 years of Disney princess history, a real evolution of female characters has taken place and it is directly related to what was happening in society.
An interesting costume is an important element of any movie, which is why professionals in the movie industry pay almost as much attention to the costumes as they do casting. Some costumes take so much time and work that it’s truly unbelievable. For example, designers may make dozens of copies of the same dress or spend hours in galleries to copy a costume from an old painting.
We grew up watching Disney’s animated films: tales full of wizards, princesses and princes, and enchanted creatures were a common thing in our childhood. Of course, that means that when a new version of these stories is released on the big screen, we’re all dying to go to the movies and watch. Let alone if the new movie features some world-renowned stars! Over the years, we have been able to enjoy different live-action adaptations featuring some of our favorite actors.
Whitney Houston is known and loved for her many talents. An accomplished singer, her most popular single, “I Will Always Love You” was undoubtedly the most successful song of her lifetime and still remains her biggest hit, with fans referring to it as a true hymn of love. Others know her as an actress, from her role as Cinderella’s fairy godmother to her first movie role in The Bodyguard, where the whole world learned more about her and heard that famous song for the very first time. Some people even know her from her work behind the scenes.
Fairy tales can sometimes send mixed messages. In fact, when Charles Perrault wrote Cinderella, he ended the story with 2, rather conflicting morals. First, that goodness is more important than appearances and second, in a slightly more cynical tone, that things like courage and intelligence are important, but you need a “godmother” or “godfather” to help you get ahead in life. In other words, there’s no greater magic than the power of networking.
The world of cinema has managed to boost the career of many actors and tell stories that have become classics. It has also influenced the footwear industry.

Some of these styles have become part of the most popular accessories from the big screen.
Some might say shoes are as essential as any other garment, and that they even add a particular character to a whole outfit. After appearing in famous movies or conquering fashion shows, some shoes and sneaker designs became iconic. They also became key pieces for designers, some of which took them as a source of inspiration for their own creations. And then there are also other shoe designs that became classic and are constantly imitated to produce more accessible replicas.
It often looks like actors live in a dream. They meet interesting people, earn a lot of money, and are adored by many fans — what could possibly go wrong? But few people actually realize that actors often have to do unpleasant things that they’d rather not recall.
Needless to say, we’ve become less attentive over the years. Our attention span has decreased to just up to 8 seconds. Of course, there are still those who don’t miss the slightest details but we doubt that even they would notice some of the surprising hidden secrets in our favorite cartoons.
