It's fair to say that Disney princesses aren't exactly accurate representations of female bodies. They exemplify a 'flawless' image with their wide eyes, smooth skin, and small waists, inspiring millions of young women to want to be as attractive as they are. One artist, on the other hand, has adopted a more realistic approach.
Talented Brazilian artist Isaque Areas first came up with questions like “What if Disney Princesses were artists in their own movie? Why aren't Disney Princesses getting older too?" After that, he decided to find the answer for himself by releasing a series of drawings called "Before and After - Disney Princesses". With his unlimited imagination, he painted the look of Disney princesses in 2015 as if they would continue to age after the movie.
"When I was a child I used to identify myself with several characters and my first objective with this artwork was to show people – mainly women – that they can identify with a Disney princess even if they get old. Even older we can be beautiful, kind, strong, gentle, and smart like Disney characters – we can be children inside." - the artist once shared. And as he wished, his artworks have been widely shared and have supported women to be more confident in their appearance. Let's check out those fantastic drawings and don't forget to tell us which one is your favorite!
