“Disney princesses are presented to children as aspirational characters,’ researchers wrote in a story first reported by the Daily Mail. “For example, Disney princesses are often depicted as extremely thin, and their thinness is often associated with their desirability (e.g., Snow White is referred to as the “fairest of them all” and Aurora is blessed with the “gift of beauty” in their respective films).”
In other words – Snow White, Cinderella and Rapunzel are too skinny and Disney needs some big-boned princesses.
