“Realistic” body image better portrayed through a fairy than a human?

posted by PiiXiiE

Now this is just my point of view, but I find it a little bit ironic that one of the most realistically portrayed disney females comes in the shape of a pixie! When it comes to typical proportions, the average woman can lebih easily identify with a winged sprite?! I mean, not everybody has a beautiful hourglass figure! Having somebody who is a little bottom-heavy is comforting.

While Tinker bel, bell does have a super-skinny waist, she is the only disney female I have seen whose lower body is not exactly proportionate to her upper body.

Stuck

When I realized this, it made me feel so much better as a slightly pear-shaped person! (Hooray for link!) Unfortunately, the movie demonstrates that Tink is not very comfortable with her hip circumference. (Recall the scene where she’s checking herself in the mirror and gets stuck in the keyhole.)

Insecurity

It’s just a shame that we only find this type of thing in the secondary character department.

The über-skinny Megara

For the most part, the disney princess have gorgeous bodies with unbelievably trim waists. (Don’t even get me started on Megara in Hercules.) Though I can’t blame the disney animators for doing this – they are, after all, supposed to be fairy tale princesses, right? – it does not help with the growing self-esteem issues in young girls.

I did not mean for this to be a criticism of the unrealistic body ideals that have been put into the minds of today’s young female viewers, so I just want to end this oleh saying, thank you, disney animator link, for giving us an adorable fairy with a little "junk in the trunk." :)

Rock it!

*Margaret Kerry was the model for Tinker bel, bell in Disney's 1953 animated version of Peter Pan and Marc Davis was the lead animator who brought her to life (as stated in link).

Mongoose09 Wow, I've never really thought about that! But now you mention it, Tinkerbell does have one of the most realistic bodies out of all the Disney characters! Good article!!

47misty I never really noticed that either. Who wouldn't notice Meg?? XD Does she even eat??? XD

royalpixiegirl I can relate to Tinker Bell. My family thinks I have big (or, fat) buttocks, but I just realized (before seeing this) that Tinker Bell's lower half is wider than her upper half. She, of course, is a beautiful fairy (every fairy in the franchise is beautiful), so this article sorta helps my self-esteem. Except that I have a small head than what I should have for my age (I'm 16) and height. Maybe if I was a hand-size fairy, I'd look so much better, since Queen Clarion is the only tallest fairy, and with my small head would be like 5'3 or less in human size if Tinker Bell's literal/physical size.

PiiXiiE Hi royalpixiegirl! I'm so happy this article helped you! Who's to say what people should and shouldn't look like? Embrace yourself just as you are. I hope you find true happiness and are able to to love yourself for the truly amazing person you are! Believe in yourself and love yourself! :)

sunnyfields I noticed that the Disney fairies all have different body shapes, so that is reflective, of course, in the fairy that started it all - Tinker Bell. :)

Dpm12 Realistic or not, she has a hot fucking body

Chapter 26—Family Feud

There was silence after Patch’s decision. Puffball just shook his head at Patch and opened his mouth. He then walked over to Patch, and shouted, “You little spoiled brat! Your family cares for anda so much...and you’re just staying with a couple of anak anjing anda only met a couple days back!”
“You wouldn’t understand,” Patch told Puffball. “I know that my parents cinta us as their children, but Scamp and malaikat cinta me for who I am.”
Pongo and Perdita whispered to each other. Then, Perdita nodded. She and Pongo then whispered to Lady and Tramp. Then, at last,...

*Hi everybody! I was re-reading my fanfic just now, and I've decided that I wanted to rewrite the book after Chapter 21 (where Scamp, Angel, and Patch run away). I'm re-writing these final chapters largely because I was in a hurry to get them done beforehand, and there are a lot of changes I want to make to the story. The story will be different, though some scenes will remain basically the same. anda will see one of these changes right here in this chapter. So here we are! I will write about eight atau so lebih chapters. Enjoy reading!*

Why i don't like Peter Pan 1 and 2

posted by Pyjamarama

Peter Pan 1 always bores me and Peter Pan 2 is pain. I don't like Wendy and Jane. Wendy bores me and i don't know why she's a teenager. Jane is a complete beast because she hates Peter Pan and TinkerBell. Smee bores me too. Also, Hook's pirates bore me. I hate them and i never wish i'd been watching them. If anda like Disney, don't pick these two boring and worst movies. I hate the first Peter Pan songs and I hate Jane's scream. I don't know why Jane's voice is a kid. But they're the most boring and worst disney classics of all time. Yes, they are really horrible. The animasi of Peter Pan 1 is boring and The animasi of Peter Pan 2 is cheesy. I ask you. How many times does Jane scream? If anda know, just tell me.

    Lady sat in the locked in bedroom, alone with Lucky and Penny. They looked at Lady, who stated, “Well… should we leave?”
    “Who are you?” Lucky asked.
    “I’m Lady,” she told them. “Scamp’s and Angel’s mother.”
    “Oh, those two,” Lucky stated. “I don’t see why they don’t have sense… nor does Patch.”
    “Yeah…I’m worried about them,” Penny added. “My name’s Penny… and he’s Lucky.”

Chapter 16- kantin, diner For Forgiveness

    Lady, Tramp, Pongo, and Perdita approached the puncak, atas of the hill, and then, Tramp stated, “Come on… follow me.”
    “Do anda see them on your side?” Pongo asked Perdita, who shook her head as they crossed a bridge over a peaceful river.
    “They couldn’t have gotten that far away, could they?” Lady asked nervously.
    “I don’t know Lady, I don’t know,” Pongo answered.
    “Nah, of course not!” Tramp stated as they turned a corner on...
