DISNEY
setting more unrealistic weight goals
(Princess Jasmine from Aladdin)
picture: pictureking. lol caption: midnightmaiden
What, you can’t carry all your body fat in you boobs?
xD not without surgery…. and i probably couldnt stand ._.
i’ll bet this was drawn by a guy, right?
Dummy.
I’m too skinny, actually.
You just can’t be really skinny and have huge (real) boobies.
In Jasmine’s (and Ariel’s, and a couple of the other girls) defense(s), they’re all eighteen, and depending on how things go, for like, two months during your eighteenth year, you CAN in fact have giant firm boobs and a teensy waist. Then your hormones go back in balance and everything returns to something approaching normal. Note that everything varies of course.
Correction, Ariel is sixteen. She says so in the movie. “Daddy, I’m sixteen!”
Yes you can. I am. I’m a size 2 with full D’s. All natural. It’s called working out at least 3 times a week and making sure your eating is on-point.
why not, i am skinny and have huge boobs.
To lvl19 and Heather:
You’re both probably 12 year old girls sitting in front of a computer trying to get attention because your normal lives are so “dramatic” when in reality you have it way better than about 1/3 of the population. Oh, and P.S. to Heather, You can’t get thin working out three times a week, the only way you could is having unhealthy eating habits.
Oh, yeah. I’m french, so no “fat america” jokes, thank you.
I’m sure you’re wrong on both the fact Heather and lvl19 are 12 and have eating disorders. I know a few girls (who are not 12- since 12 year old girls usually don’t even have breast growth yet) who are quite skinny with large breasts. My sister is one of those people- she is a size 1 or 3 in juniors (depending on brand and cut) and has a cup size that is about a C. She doesn’t work out on a regular basis, and she doesn’t have an eating disorder- her body was just built that way due to various genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Just because it is seemingly impossible doesn’t mean that it is in fact impossible. Check your biology before flat out telling people they are wrong or that things are impossible.
A person with a C-cup does not have large breasts. C is average, or a little bit above.
And, I don’t know who *your* friends were when you were 12, but most of the girls I knew had some breast growth by that age. Not a lot, but some. I got the shaft and was a B by 12 (it suuucked, lol).
“Just because it is seemingly impossible doesn’t mean that it is in fact impossible.”
I think the poster you’re responding to was talking about your average human female, not the 1 out of 1,000,000 that just happen to be born physically perfect.
Uhhhhhhh C cup is large, just not ginormous. Average really varies on overall weight, but C would still not be average size especially for someone who has an actual waist. I say this because for over 10 years I had a super skinny waist and C breasts, and even without the waist I was bigger than most girls with their tiny boobs. Perhaps all these pushup bras have skewed your opinion??
They just got SERVED, Miss Biologist! Win, Alexa!
You r my idol!
DDD
im going to disagree with that…im merging on being underweight (NOT INTENTIONALLY!! , im not trying to loose weight) and im pretty large chested and its all natural…it all depends on your body type…=/
firstly, im not american x) secondly im not fat ;o
shame for you though
I agree.
im 11 im skinny for my age im completely flat chested and almost all the girls in my school stuff their bras
Um…
Okay…
yep. drawn by guys trying to set unrealistic goals for little girls…
FIR…urgh *bang*, thats that then
hahahha best…comment…EVAR!!!!!
Ok her neck is as thick as her waist… wow…
I’m very concerned that one day the weight of her hair is going to crush her.
It’s a freakin’ cartoon, people! LOL
Exactly. And people wouldn’t be so fat if they knew what hunger was. To be honest I eat so my stomach shuts up.
Just because a person is fat does not mean they overeat. Some have thyroid issues and some, like me, are just not motivated anymore to go out and exercise. I eat once, maybe twice a day and because of that, and a lack of real exercise, my metabolism is all out of whack and I’m overweight. I don’t stuff my face.
Oddly enough, lol, it’s when I *did* stuff my face that I dropped a bunch of weight (40 lbs.!) in about a month and a half.
Disney females always have Jazz Hands
true. why is that?
it’s based off of ballet and dancer’s gestures, and adds elegance of sorts. i read it in the Anastasia art book! not disney disney, but close enough.
Wow, she is gorgeous.
yeah. if she drops her hands to her sides, she’d be even better!
OMG another disney damsel- save me! save me! I can’t fend for myself!!!
Sounds like that IDIOT Bella from the Twilight Saga. I wish someone would just snap her needy-ass neck!!!
Spoken like a true retard.
Spoken like a true fanboi.
Spoken like a true idiot in denial.
PHAG ALERT!!!
” Oh mah gad, I get depressed for like 4 months because who will stalk me abusively now?” New moon.
TWILIGHT. SUCKS.
i agree
an awful, awful series…. *tuts and shakes head sadly*
WINNAGE TO THE GENTLEMAN IN THE THIRD ROW
Thank you!!
Well, they’re not all like that, fortunately. More modern Disney heroines like Megara from Hercules or Sam from Atlantis for example make fun of that whole damsel-in-distress thing all the time
Much better, if you ask me.
(And yes, I am aware that liking Disney isn’t considered ‘cool’ if you’re over 10 years old (I’m 21 and in uni), but I don’t care
)
I’m 44 and I still like Disney.
I’m over 40 and still enjoy most of the classic Disney movies. It’s impressive how well most of them have aged. Fantasia was released in (?) 1939 and the artwork and music are as wonderful as ever.
And the repop was positively dismal.
I’m 20, Male and in Uni and Disney is still one of the greatest things in the world to me
We just watched lion king in my science class as a project to determine what species are depicted. No one did it, they got too involved in the movie.
hey, i do like disney! just not the hanna montana, jonas freaks or High school crap ;P i liked the old school animations! they’re so cute xD
Fourteen and Disney still brings joy to my life
Haha
What about Mulan? She went to war!
Mulan was always my favorite. It was probably the best Disney princess movie; I wouldn’t mind seeing it again.
Mulan did kind of set a “screw you, I’m kicking ass mySELF” bar for Disney women.
Mulan was my all time favourite, and then they wrecked it by using Mulan 2 as a poorly disguised attempt to recruit the world to Taoism.
There are worse religions/philosophies to recruit for, certainly…. but as a general rule, ‘fairytale’ and ‘sequel’ really shouldn’t ever be associated with each other.
Meh. If “The Tao of Pooh” didn’t do it, nothing will.
She was the original badass mama. = ) Not to mention, Mulan did NOT have giant boobs or a waist that looked like a knitting needle.
I think Jasmine is the princess who is LEAST like that. Out of all the classics, I mean. I’m pretty sure. She’s been my favourite for a long time.
mine was bella XD and snow white, i hated disney’s cinderella, and jasmine
Cin was such a fricking DOORMAT!!! I wanna see a remake (not unlike the Drew Barrymore remake a few years back) where Cin goes frickin’ postal and axe-murders the mom and both those frickin’ harpie sisters!!! Come ON!!
OTOH I gotta give it to the artists, Cinderella was the most beautifully drawn of all the princess brigade. I mean, yeah, blue-eyed blonde, but fuh. What a doll. Heh.
Any idiot who looks to cartoons for weight standards deserves all the eating disorders they get.
It’s way easier to hate on Disney and Barbie than to get my fat ass to Weight Watchers, dontcha know.
You need Weight Watchers to loose some weight?
You need an extra O to spell ‘Lose’?
Or perhaps penny-go-in is suggesting that Skyfire let loose some of that weight?
I got an idea for a Page-A-Day Weight Loss Calendar, where all the even-numbered days say DON’T EAT SO DAMN MUCH and the odd-numbered days say GET OFF YOUR ASS AND EXERCISE WHY DON’T YA. I think I’m gonna make a bunch of money.
Excellent idea!
To be fair, scientists have proven that if Barbie were a real person with those proportions, all of her organs would not be able to fit in her body. It’s not entirely unfounded to contend that cartoon females set a very unrealistic standard of beauty.
“One of the most common criticisms of Barbie is that she promotes an unrealistic idea of body image for a young woman, leading to a risk that girls who attempt to emulate her will become anorexic. A standard Barbie doll is 11.5 inches tall, giving a height of 5 feet 9 inches at 1/6 scale. Barbie’s vital statistics have been estimated at 36 inches (chest), 18 inches (waist) and 33 inches (hips). According to research by the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, she would lack the 17 to 22 percent body fat required for a woman to menstruate.[12] In 1963 the outfit “Barbie Baby-Sits” came with a book entitled How to Lose Weight which advised: “Don’t eat.”[13] The same book was included in another ensemble called “Slumber Party” in 1965 along with a pink bathroom scale reading 110 lbs.[14], which would be around 35 lbs. underweight for a woman 5 feet 9 inches tall. [15] In 1997 Barbie’s body mold was redesigned and given a wider waist, with Mattel saying that this would make the doll better suited to contemporary fashion designs.[16][17]“
If you ever have a daughter be sure to tell her that, Brian.
Unfortunately, this does matter to little girls. Even worse, after they outgrow taking Disney seriously Hollywood reinforces the same message with a vengeance. It’s to the point now that many women my age (38) have basically obsessed about their weight their entire lives, doing everything from starving themselves, bulimia, weird diets that are harmful to hurting themselves exercising the wrong way, trying to lose 10 more pounds when they’re already more than 10 pounds underweight. So if you have daughters, be aware that this is what the media and fashion industry is doing to them.
And unfortunately, it’s the women our age who are constantly obsessing about their weight who have daughters who are constantly obsessing about their weight. Some of us 30/40 yo women have come to terms with the fact that we’re no longer 16 and do not need to look 16. We tend to have daughters who understand that they should eat healthy because it makes them feel better, exercise because it’s good for them and who don’t have the weight issues other girls do. I disagree that it’s totally Hollywood. And I never once thought that I should look like Jasmine, or Meg or Belle or Snow White or Cinderella, or even My Little Pony (although my daughter did want to be a pony at one time but grew out of that – maybe we should ban cartoon ponies, too).
Good points here! I’m not quite sixteen, but my parents have always stressed the importance of healthful eating and I’ve never felt the need to be pencil-thin or anything.
That said, I think it’s normal for people to be self-conscious sometimes, but I’ve never had much trouble with it because of what I’ve been taught.
“And I never once thought that I should look like Jasmine, or Meg or Belle or Snow White or Cinderella, or even My Little Pony (although my daughter did want to be a pony at one time but grew out of that – maybe we should ban cartoon ponies, too).”
uh neither did i, the picute was just a damn joke on how she looks silly because of her teeenyy tiinny waistline… and no we should not ban cute disney animations, who doesnt love them?
To chime in three and a half cents from the other side of the gender spectrum, may I add that men are not immune to these garish societal archetypes? While it’s true that men aren’t *always* expected to have the 28″ biceps and the 32″ waist with washboard abs and a 10″ penis, that’s the norm if you wish to be anything but the comic relief? Aladdin notwithstanding, all the Disney Princes are freakin’ carbon copies of an unrealistic ideal as well, but as they are usually one-dimensional archetypes to rescue the poor damsel, it is readily dismissed that one must be handsome to be accepted.
I realized when I was a boy that I wouldn’t have the “ideal” muscular ectorche “They” said I needed, and since the skinny kid was invariably picked on, I remember always wishing I was fat, because at least the fat kid got to be funny.
Man, discussing how well they mess with kids’ heads really makes me want to go into marketing.
I was the fat kid. They don’t get it any easier. Sorry.
Oh stop whining about your looks and mow the lawn and learn to be a man for god sakes.
*slaps Gin around*
I know that’s totaly not mature and enlightened of me, but damn if it dosen’t feel good to just clobber a troll or two!
You know, it’s just so nice to be able to blame everything on the media and fashion industry. It would be a huge burden if, for example, my daughter’s mental and physical health had anything to do with what I’ve taught or told her, or with the model I set myself. It’s a huge relief to know that any problems she has have nothing at all to do with my parenting, so that I don’t have to bother to teach her the difference between reality and fiction, or worry about ensuring that she’s able to think for herself.
AGREED!!!! What the hell happened to parental accountability?
Jazz hands-thats funny!!!
Where do cartoons go to get breast augmentation?
The drawing board.
xD oh mah freekin gawd! THATS MY PIKKTURE! WHOOO-HOO!
i never got one on the site page thingy before! *does a crazy dance* >.>
I think its Disney’s picture….are you saying you made the caption?
It’s a Cartoon!!! How many men do you see walking around looking like Tarzan or Hercules? (or Aladdin for that matter – he was pretty hot, too).
Too little
Few! Few! *smacks self for bad grammar*
Aladdin didn’t have nipples.
That can’t be good!
Does he need them?
o: ALIEN!
Boo hoo… someone has self image issues.
I think quite a few women who post on this part of the site do.
Anyone who is paying attention realizes that 98% of all women do.
Yeah, it’s to ensure that we spend tons of money buying products to “fix” ourselves.
Hey, that’s more than half!
why would you think this was about me? o.O
…It’s a damn cartoon.
lol. ginny that was funny. there’s always been something not right about disney…
Seems Disney is adding to the unrealistic eyeball standards too. Those things are as big as her palms! WTF? How can I compete with that?
I saw a display of ‘Disney Princesses’ cards once, & you know, they all look alike? The formulaic nature of the design is just soulless. And have their artists never seen Vitruvian Man?
They’ve modified the drawings of the older Disney princesses (Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White) so that they now look more like the newer princesses (Belle, Ariel, Jasmine). If you watch the older movies, their chests didn’t all pop out (well, Aurora definitely had an ideal figure). Me, I’m mad that Cinderella’s a complete blonde in all the merchandise. There’s quite a bit of red in her hair in the movie, and I was happy that I could look sort of like her when I was young.
“Seems Disney is adding to the unrealistic eyeball standards too.”
`
And the gigantic watermelon heads. How are we supposed to measure up to THAT?
Only unrealistis for ~Americans. The rest of us manage fine, thanks.
Your waist is no thicker than your neck? Seriously? How do you walk? Where do you put your organs?
in the closet of course ._.
haha, im actually english! xD
Face it is either Disney damsels or that ho barbie who now comes with tatoo’s! Or better yet BRATZ where you get the ho and her pimp!!
Mattel sued whatever company makes Bratz and they’re not allowed to make them anymore. Thanks god, cuz those things might as well have been called “Prostitotz”
Thank*
They should of called them “Bratty Hoz”
Skankz!, comes with a thong for her and for you!
)
Honestly she doesn’t look that bad to me… and who looks at cartoons for weight standards?! They’re cartoons!
She’s a fly hunny.
So, where does the baby fit?
Nowhere. In this world the babies are delivered by storks.
I blame women, not the media for weight obsession. Mainstream media and men can sell this idea of having to be thin to be attractive and successful, but that doesn’t mean women have to buy it. Really, our worst enemies are ourselves and other women. If I want to be at a healthy weight, it’s for the sake of my (physical/mental) health, not because society tells me I should. That being said obesity related diseases are a huge drain on our health care system (I’m Canadian).
Seriously, who’d want boobs that small?
in relation to her waist they are soo huge she shouldnt be able to stand, although without them it looks as though she’d struggle…
I have similar waist to boob proportions and I stand just fine, thank you. I can walk too.
Hi, my name is Forge, I’m in Florida… (snerk)
Elementary School girls with eating disorders are sexy.
I believe I have found a little piggy!
Oink oink!
Bratz were sued? Unbelievevable…..
Funny how most peopl;e will jump on this band wagon, but the picture of Jessica Simpson was flammed…..Granted this is only a cartoon..But beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes, not just a size 2
when i grow up i want my head to be bigger than my entire torso!
and full of nothing but helium, just to keep it up!
“when i grow up i want my head to be bigger than my entire torso!’
`’
You want to grow up to Oprah?
Don’t forget the false perceptions of men they put into our heads as children.
You’re right about that. Or maybe they’re trying to say that if you’re trying to attract a Prince Charming, you’d better look like a Cinderella?
Another fat jelous woman or man who has fat jelous girlfriend making the comment. So obvious only obsessivly jelous fat people can see a cartoon as a real issue…
Hilarious. My sister has a sticker similar to that. Reminds me so much of bella (Along with the sparkly vamp deal
Fat people – always finding ways to blame other people for their gluttony and laziness.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Let he with self control eat the first hamburger
No, those are her earings… the weight of the gold ripped her ears off years ago and shes been sticking the posts directly into her skull ever since.
Her cartoon body makes me feel self concious!
I’ll never have a giant head and ears made of solid gold bricks!
An unrealistic cartoon….hmmm.
Those exist?! O:
Half the captions on this blog are about making fat people feel good about themselves.
If you’re fat, you should be ashamed of yourself, and not finding ways to justify it.
Why should I be ashamed? Concerned for my health or mating potential, perhaps, but ashamed?
yes because you can’t even control what you put in your mouth. it shows a lack of knowledge, will power, and a blatant disregard for health & well-being. u should be ashamed, get control of yourself.
Pardon me, but some people have health problems they are unable to control that directly affect their weight. Are you saying they too should be ashamed of something out of their control?
Ooh, stalker! Must be to be able to see (and weigh!) every single person who’s commented!
Why should you be ashamed of being overweight? Since society tells us that not underweight = overweight. I’m a healthy size twelve (European sizing) at 22 and I don’t give a flying rats arse what some brainless magazine tells me. Would I care if I was overweight? Sadly..thanks to judgemental morons like yourself, and the example set by the overweight girls bullied through secondary/high school, yeah, probably.
No shame in being overweight. Shame in being a bully.
Aaawww, people are so mean to each other on here. I always thought this site was just for fun and silliness. Why not just write an opinion in general terms without having to hate on someone else or on a particular group of people?
Because some captions aren’t even funny they’re just attacks on fit ppl
Most are fun tho so generally they’re doing a good job. Unless there’s a non fat girl on the picture then it’s just never written in a funny or witty way.
Exactly.
It’s all about fat love on here and hating on the thin or skinny people. If your BMI falls below 24 and you’re female, then it’s fine to poke fun and make jokes. But never at the obeasties. They are a protected species. I think it’s time to start hunting landwhale again!
Exactly. I’m thirteen and technically underweight (BMI of 17), but I do NOT have an eating disorder (I eat more than most of the girls in my grade) and am taller than most of my friends to boot. There’s nothing WRONG with me. It’s not fair to ravage the thin people… in my case at least I really can’t help it.
It’s not about dissing thin girls, not in this case, not for me. I have a friend who’s really really thin and she’s actually self conscious too, she wants more curves. But come on, Jasmine’s body is biologically impossible.
Hm. Honestly, the only issue I’ve ever had with Disney is the fact that they made the Disney Heroines into fashion freaks more than role models/heroines or whatever term you prefer…Seriously, Belle was a bookworm when she was in the movies, and if you’re into analyzing kid movies, taught acceptance of odd things. Now the company is making her into an airhead that’s all “omg sparkly dressez!11!”
Even Jasmine could kick some butt when she wanted to. :/ Not any more though!
Kinda dull caption though.
I’m more concerned about how small her ribcage is… It’s almost the same as her neck!
Made by a fat chick
Oh come now, you can’t automaticly assume that.
I use o run about 2-3 miles a day and work out and run drill in high school (color guard) every day (twice on thursdays) and i never got any smaller than a size 11 (not to mention i only ate chicken fruit and veggies). but here were a couple of other girls who ate donuts and fast food and crap doing the same things i was doing and they were around a size 3ish maybe… so it really all depends on you as a person. every one is different. BUT cartoons and barbies and all that do set a standard that IS impossible. a 20″ waist and a 40″ G bust wouldn’t work. at least disney sticks to a “C” bust normally… little more understandable
meh, what ever… i love disney
lol, i never noticed tht! thts so funny! haaha, all of them are so skinny, even amy adams(the real one)! oh well, i have never in my life seen a fat princess no offence to anyone of course
Lol. Disney should throw a curve ball like that some time. I wanna see the public’s reaction to the first “fat” Disney Princess.
That’s what I always thought! Republican drama queens (like Glenn Beck) are always going on and on about how magazines are bad for teenage girls, which might be true, but Disney characters are even worse and thrown at five-year-olds.
A fat princess… that actually doesn’t sound like a bad movie idea.
yup, this one’s true…
If you line up her eyes side by side, they’re the same size as her waist!
