REVISIONS:
- Sleeping Beauty takes place in France? - Based off of Perrault's story as well (For the locations/time periods of these princesses, I didn't have a straightforward "choosing method." I mostly looked at original stories as well as the time period likely depicted in the movie and then deduced from there. They are, in no way, conclusive!

@@nowhyisuck6666 I love Disney Esmeralda, she was always my favourite character and I also like her body type but she was too sexualized ! Her dresses were too revealing especially the red one (similar to Jasmines red slave outfit), she is to much portrayed as the *exotic sexy rebellious brown girl* but in the novell Esmeralda was actually a shy, virtuous and a very innocent girl. Just look at her dance, it was basically a pole dance. Frollo wasn't only interested on Esmeralda because she was hot, he was also fascinated by her innocent, pure and kind personality. Except for being nice Disney Esmeralda is NOT portrayed like that simply because to make her more "independent". The same problem is with Jasmine, instead of wearing graceful modest clothes, she is dressed like a prostitute. Remember the three prostitutes in Aladdin ? They were all dressed like Jasmine, a royal princess.

I hate how disney made her (as well as other princesses ofc) have the perfect bodies. Because they made her waist very small with wide hips,while also being really slim(smh) they made me as well as countless other young girls feel a little self conscious of their already perfect and healthy bodies. I remember how I used to try and pinch my waist by tying a belt as best as I could or else I would'nt look like a princess. I realized just how bad disney is and how much of an impact it can have on little children. Its made more aware bcoz they basically showed a lot of skin in jasmine and ariel( and others too ig). Also, Jasmine's story was set in the arabian peninsula. This means that the weather is extremely hot and sunny, so you can get reallllly bad sunburn(I was brought up in an arabian country so Im telling yall coz kf experience). And also the fact that they made her clothes so "revealing" was disgusting bcoz in arab( and islamic culture), we are required to cover ourselves modestly, which means, we're supposed to wear loose and airy clothes. Basically, as much as they want their new princess to be a BIGHIT and get reallllly wealthy, they shoukd keep in mind abt how much they should consider the historical accuracy as well as the cultures of whatever new princess theyre making. Feel free to correct me politely if Im wrong anywhere and what yall can add to this as well

Also, as the ballroom scene/dance was such a huge thing, I think they needed a dress with much more graceful 'twirl' in it than a gown with huge paniers could ever manage. Is there any little girl ever who didn't enjoy a dress with a good twirl? And they wisely left off the nasty curled and powdered wig that a noble of that era would have been wearing too. I was pleased to see, though, that in the 2017 remake of Beauty and the Beast, they did more of a nod to accuracy in the prince's original pre-curse outfit and wig...plus, it hid his appearance nicely, so when he was transformed back to human, his handsome looks were a nice surprise to the viewer.

As an Arab woman myself, Jasmine’s dress is very upsetting. They could have made her wear slightly loose drapes (wouldn’t be too upsetting if it is slightly cinched at the waste since they love that) with a sheer veil or something. It would still look veeery pretty. Most Disney princesses wore modestly and still looked nice. Arab women even prior to Islam wore very modestly even with veils.. so I don’t get why they had her dress like a belly dancer ?? No princess at that time would ever wear like that. You wouldn’t see a European princess wear something like that would you?? And what upsets me mostly is how they smashed two cultures together? Like both cultures are individually very rich and could have focused only on one and still had so much substance to work with. It is disrespectful to mix both. Do westerns see us and south asians all the same???

To be fair, they didn't hesitate to give Ariel, a teen girl, a shell bra, and Belle probably was saved because of her booknerd personality. And Ariel's final dress was some weird, tight, modern dress with a low neckline. The original three princesses were created when America had different, more modesty focused opinions on women showing skin, and were likely dressed modestly because of that, so had they made more than two white princesses during the reinassence I wouldn't doubt they would try to pull some disgusting things with them as well. The next princess was made in 2009, and by then people had finally started caring about accuracy and not sexualising children so they couldn't try anything like this again. Though bellydancers having the most well known outfit in the west didn't help either, so they were probably mostly lazy. If they did bother to give her a more accurate outfit, thanks to her personality and the time period they would've gone out of their way to find a way to make it sexy anyways :( But Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, and maybe Belle all have very modern(ly American) dresses for the time they were published instead of traditional ones as well so honestly Disney is just kind of disappointing all around

They're also usually worn indoors, likely on costly rugs and well maintained floors. Mainly because women, especially of a higher status, tend to stay indoors which also gives preference to fair complexion as opposed to the tans you'd get from toiling under the sun in the fields. And even then, I believe that super long train weren't exactly worn 24/7 because those kinds of gowns were typically reserved for special occasions, like a wedding or ball.

Bree W Animation student here to back this up. To give you an idea, I worked on a 30 second animation that was full coloured and included a more simplified version of a victorian coat. That alone took me about 4 weeks to finish. 3 seconds can take an animator anywhere between a few hours to an entire day depending on how fluid the movement it. Disney strives for very fluid animation where the characters move alot. To animate even really small details at disneys fluidity, on disneys budget at the time, with the amount if staff disney had at the time and the traditional disney framing techniques would be hell! I agree that sexualising a culture is wrong! That’s a given, and adding more fabric and layers in areas for accuracy would be fine. But as for decorative details, nah bro, even back in the 90’s it would be be complicated and it would probably result in staff being underpaid for extra work and unfair outsourcing (something I don’t doubt disney don’t already do oof)

Also, let's talk about the fact that Jasmine and Pocahontas, two of Disney's most sexualized princesses, were the first Princesses of color and were 15 and 19 (though real life Pocahontas was freakin' 12 when the Jamestown settlers landed). The only good thing about Pocahontas is that Disney (probably, hopefully) won't make a live action adaptation of it. But seriously, thank you for bringing up the fact that these were made by Westerners, for Westerners and how that obscures the facts and skews the truths of these cultures and how they're perceived.

@calliode2512 2 жыл бұрын

@@stellarae8257 From my understanding, not really. But for most of history, pink wasn’t a super popular colour because it was just faded red dye and a rich blue colour was expensive to produce. (Until the invention of unique indigo dyes that led to the invention of the blue jean) That’s where the association of the Virgin Mary wearing blue comes from- and Jesus would often be depicted in pink. Pink paint is much more expensive then pink fabric because it’s not just a faded red, it has to be specifically mixed out of red and white paints. I think the use in renaissance and post-renaissance art allowed pink to become a colour in fashion, where it was used mainly for men because it was still highly associated with red and baby Jesus, but evidence of this is based on *paintings* so it’s kind of a self-contradicting topic. Anyways, no, it’s unlikely any switch between blue and pink’s gender-specific colour identity ever happened before the WWII era, because they didn’t really have those strong associations to most people. Just rich peoplez

When you say "does it hurt the story to make it more historically accurate" referring to the dress Belle is wearing, I totally understand what you mean because you clearly know about fashion, etc. But the thing is that when you are designing a character you have to make it "animatable", It's incredible hard and you have to think that 1 second of animation are 24 frames, 24 drawings. Imagining having to animate every detail hundreds of times. So they make dresses and clothes that they can animate, and that means having to simplify them even If they dont want to. Also, the characters (skin tones and clothes) have to contrast with the backgrounds (settings), because If not its going to make the color pallete in general look really "similar" and nothing would stand out. That's why Snow white dress have those colors, to make her pop off the screen. I study animation so I just wanted to explain/tell these things. Everyone analyze something from their field of expertise.

It’s quite the opposite actually. The live action had strong Indian elements whereas the animated movie was strictly Middle Eastern

@madhurimak564 2 жыл бұрын

Hmmmmm, I wouldn't say so. They had very glaring issues with accuracy-for example, no Indian girl EVER would wear a dress like that to her wedding, if it's white, it always atleast has a red or green border. And who kisses in Indian weddings that openly?? Her dresses were such a disappointment too. You might feel like I'm overreacting but really, can't Indian girls get some representation that isn't mishmashed with other cultures? India has the second largest population in the world and the majority are Hindus, so why isn't there a princess with a bindi in Disney? Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to gripe about this issue, I'm resigned to it anyway, and it's nice that Muslims and Christians girls are getting their representation on Disney, I'm happy for them (💛)but I wish I had some too. Anyway,i really got off track, there. My point was that the live action is even worse than the original in terms of accuracy. They didn't even bother to study accurate clothes, and just basically gave her ball gowns with "exotic" colours. Like, what south Asian culture involves trains in dresses? Check out cherry bepsi 's video on it, she explains it far better than I ever could. Have a great day :)

Imagine if Ghibli could have made a movie about Pocahontas, they would have gave her justice.

I never watched Aladdin as a kid but I can see where they got a couple aspects of the fashion, although I totally agree it is way over sexualized, and modernized. I think they did ok on the earrings though. I'm not middle eastern so ik the fashion is different there but there r definitely overlaps, and I feel as though the pants r one of them. (I'm Algerian)

It's a sum-up of the character... w/o acknowledging any actual CHARACTER traits her appearance may reveal. Sigh. At least, according to Mina, that means the animators achieved the "sexy" look they were going for :/ I also thought his role of John Smith, the Misogynistic Colonizer, was very on the nose.

so... there's actually a reason for the blue-vs-pink argument over Aurora's dress. way back when, pink was considered the masculine color for kids' clothes (red = strength, and pink is "light red") and blue was more feminine (something something Virgin Mary....) but the clothing industry was flipping that, about when Sleeping Beauty was coming out.... so the fairies' argument over the color of her dress was actually Disney poking fun at societal standards, and then-pop-culture issues and femininity ideals. I wouldn't have expected that from them, but there it is!

If Aladdin took place in the 9th century then she would most definitely not be wearing that. Search up ‘9th century Indian clothes’ or ‘9th century Persian clothes’ it’s not accurate. Besides no one is saying that dressing like a belly dancer is wrong, but most muslims don’t wear such revealing clothing for religious reasons. Please do your research.

Camryn Gaines Her name was actually Matoaka, but Pocahontas was her nickname. She was 10 when the colonists arrived. The only reason they coexisted(loosely using that word) for a few years was because they made the Powhatan become their allies against the Spanish. She was about 15 or 16 when they kidnapped her. She had a husband and child at that this point from her village. They murdered her husband after letting them see each other one last time, and she never saw her child again. She was constantly raped. John Rolfe only married her for tribal alliance and tobacco curing techniques. He forced her to bare his child, then took both of them to England. She was a show pony for the elite, to show there was no hostility between the natives and colonist(HA). Once convinced the colonists continued to get their financial support. She was in good health supposed to be getting ready to head home. She died shortly after eating dinner with her husband John Rolfe and Captain John Argall(also the captain that kidnapped her and multiple people from her tribe). She was only 21.
