This is closer to fact. Disney remade her to fit modern "beauty standards ". In reality she was fairly short and what is currently considered overweight. Beauty standards are a load of hogwash. In her historic portraits I think she's a little cutie. They shouldn't have felt the need to glam her.

I love this! Disney tends to use a consistent body shape for all of the main women. I think that all shapes and sizes can be beautiful, just like this gorgeous girl!

I refuse to watch her movie anymore after reading up her historical context. She was stolen from her people, forced to give up her first child, raped and ultimately murdered.

Honestly, Disney should never have made a movie about her. She was kidnapped from her tribe, her first son was taken from her, she was raped and ultimately murdered by those who stole her. There is nothing happy to what happened to her.

Paige Jordan, While that is true for ALL of these I don't see the need in these times, that She seems to be the only one who gets plump by the artist!!

I do not believe we should encourage people to gain weight or to be overweight. It causes so many many health issues -- only one of them being diabetes. Can we please stop the word 'fat shaming'. Every second thing is now using 'shaming'. For shame. Lose weight. Exercise. Get healthy. Don't promote fat roles on people's bodies. ... ok let the hates on me begin - lol

This is not promoting obesity, this is depicting Pocahontas as she actually was. In reality, she was described as overweight and short. Disney movies have made her conform to today’s rigid standards of beauty. And really, I think, nothing good will come from promoting our society’s unrealistic body expectations.

OK, THAT one took me off guard. Why would you do this to Pocahontas? I hope she won't die of diabetes before she meets John.

So... you don't have a single person in your life who you love and may also be overweight? Maybe think about saying comments like this to their face and their reaction before you make asinine comments like this online. Give your head a shake.

The texture of the dress is amazing. Even though it’s a cartoon drawing the fabric looks really realistic

Her dreams of swirling around as she sweeps the floor. Who knew she would actually live them?

Her hair looks absolutely beautiful as it flows in this pic. I also love the accessory along with it.

As with my comment on Belle, Merida would have had a lot of extremely hard work to do, keeping her slim. Perhaps in middle age, this would be her.

That's not a Disney heroine. That's Vanessa--Ursula's human form wearing a modernized wedding dress.

Can i just say.. Depicting any one of these princesses as obese doesnt fit the character or their lifestyle logically.. I mean Airelle swims all day long... She is a mermaid.. I cant think of a better work out than swimming. Really she looks more like ursula who does nothing but eat and have flotsum and jetsum wait on her all day. Airelle is supossed to be adventrous and an explorer. I could go on, you see where Im going with this. Anyway. Just a thought.

With all of the physical work she had to do, I think this one is a little overdone. On the other hand, when you're poor you eat a lot of carbs!

Would have been funnier if it was a frying pan in her hand (the cause of all the extra pounds).

Jeez, all the ones in this pose have the same pose. Ironic because these all are supposed to be new and refreshing.
