Eyes are the window to the soul. But what kind of weird soul do people have with giant eyes and baby faces?
In recent years, there's been a push to have Disney characters with more realistic body shapes.
The idea is to promote a healthier body image for young girls. But that means faces need to be less exaggerated and sexualized, and waists and bodies need to be more proportional to the way humans actually are.Artists have recently tried doing this themselves, giving smaller eyes and more angular faces to Disney princesses and some secondary characters – changing their baby faces to adult faces.
COMMENT if you think artists are making a bigger deal out of this than they should.
1. Here's Merida from Brave...
...Now with a fuller face, smaller eyes and a thicker neck.
2. Rapunzel from Tangled...
...now with less of a button nose and significantly smaller eyes. She's so realistic!
...her eyes! They're soooo anatomically correct!
4. Elsa is one of the most dramatic...
...just. Just look!
5. Even Rapunzel's nemesis, Mother Gothel gets the babyface reduction...
Now she looks like less of a caricature.
6. Then there's Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6 whose non-babyface haunts my dreams..
Whoa!
8. While she's not a Disney princess, she's still great – it's Linda Gunderson from Rio.
...I'm swooning!
COMMENTand say what you think of these changes to Disney classics!
