Former Disney Fans Jumping Ship After Seeing Something Totally Horrible In Two Of Its Movies….

Uncategorized

An intriguing TikTok video is causing controversy as it sheds light on Disney’s distorted portrayal of body image, specifically focusing on the princesses’ unusually petite and upturned noses compared to the more realistic features of the villains, raising concerns about the impact on young girls’ perceptions of beauty.

The video in question, made by Gangbanger_O, has managed to grab eyeballs of over 5.3 million viewers on TikTok. The video showcases an array of Disney’s beloved princesses, from Ariel and Moana to Elsa, Belle, Aurora, and Snow White, all of whom sport unusually petite, upturned noses.

The video transitions from the princesses to the villains that Disney has sculpted over the years. A stark contrast is observed in the physical portrayal of villains like Jafar, Maleficent, Ursula, Clayton, and Mother Gothel, who possess larger, more realistic noses, unlike the princesses depicted previously in the video.

With the resonant tune of “Remember You” by Adventure Time playing in the background, the video poignantly questions, “Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world? That must be so confusing for a little girl.”

Robin Reaction’s video on the same platform, viewed over 5.1 million times, further emphasizes the issue. This video, too, leverages the pervasive reach of TikTok, asking, “How much nose is a Disney princess allowed to have?” The answer is seemingly tied to the era in which the princess was drawn and, quite frankly, is minimal in most instances.

The video goes on to state, “Looking back at the earliest princesses, we see their noses are merely suggested by a hint of a nostril, and depending on the angle, a slight curve. This sharply contrasts with the depiction of villainous women in these movies, who by societal conventions of beauty, are designed to appear ‘ugly.’ One quick way to tell if a woman will be evil or ‘unattractive’ is by the realism of her nose.”

The dissatisfaction of Disney fans is palpable as they point out the unfair portrayal of princesses with small noses while the villains bear more realistic features.

Continuing its critique, the video states, “This absence of realistic noses persisted all the way through the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. Even when non-white princesses began to appear, they too were subjected to the same unrealistic treatment.” Images of non-white princesses like Pocahontas, Mulan, and Tiana were displayed for emphasis.

As 3D animation began to dominate, Disney was forced to create characters that technically had noses but still adhered to the norm of taking up minimal space. The video highlights an important observation: “Disney has demonstrated its capability to craft attractive characters with defined noses, particularly males, for quite some time.”

Robin further adds, “Disney consciously confines women within this narrow and skewed definition of beauty.”

Meanwhile, the male Disney characters are portrayed with more human-like, realistic noses, leading to an incongruity in the perception of body norms among young girls. This disparity may inadvertently perpetuate harmful standards of beauty and body image.
