Rapunzel was trapped in a tower. Her clothing was probably something her mother bought in the market so it wouldn’t have been very royal looking.

Repunzel lives locked in a tower... she likely would not have been able to do her hair in the fashion of her times

Video: were you surprised by some of the outfits Me: yes I was surprised at how LITTLE research you did on this

She says there are errors in the Disney movies yet there are so many errors in this video! LOL! Also in Disney's Mulan....Shang wasn't royalty, he took on the role of the Army's Captain because he was assigned to it by General Li; who was Shangs father. He was an army man, not a royal.

But Belle never cared for cultural norms and never placed petty appearances over heart (she denied Gaston) she was seen as an outcast. Just check out her opening song "little town".

WTF rapunzel was locked in a hidden tower somewhere in a forest. How tf was she supposed to know what women in her generation were wearing?

"did u know pocahontas was real person?" me: "i mean who didn't. u really had to ask that?" *loses faith in humanity*

"The movie feels like it's entirely set in its own fantasy world" That makes sense. Actually, I think that's the point

Tiana’s dress was made from god damn magic, of course its not historically accurate.

Wrong about Ariel. It was Hans Christian Andersen who wrote the story of the little mermaid, and the story happened in Denmark. Why do you think that we raised a monument of her in Copenhagen, in memory of the author and the sad story of the lovesick young mermaid?

Totally agree with the Pocahontas one. Disney should defiantly animate it more accurately and cover Pocahontas’s top with just beads for a KIDS MOVIE

There are a few things in this that are missing some points. Firstly Aroura was French and the dress she wore was made by the Fairies who were looking after her and they were living like peasants to hide her royalty for 16 years plus they decided to make the dress on her birthday so they didn't have time to make it all fancy and royalty like the Queen (her mother in the film). Next Ariel, her wedding dress in the film does have the mutton sleeves! Then you are comparing Tiana's swamp wedding dress to a casual dress of the 20s. The dress you should have compared is the dress she wore at the end of the film. Then again she is a princess by then. Next, Snow White was made a slave to the Queen who didn't want to make her look any beautiful than her so she would have given her basic clothes at the time or something to make her less royal than the Queen. With Cinderella, you should have compared Claire's image to the original design of Cinderella, not the evolved version which made every past Disney princess have so many sparkles on their dresses. And finally with Rapunzel, again like Aroura grew up like a peasant so of course, her dress won't be as fancy as the high class or royalty she is. I know it much but let's not forget that most of the Disney princess before 2000s were hand-drawn, imagine how hard it would be for the artists to draw frame by frame a dress with so much detail to match the era they were in, especially the classic princesses who drawn traditional, not digital. One more note, Mulan did not become a princess in the film. She becomes a princess due to Disney adding a new requirement of performing an act of heroism.

Rapunzel gets locked in a tower for 18 years with no contact to the outside world and most likely made the dress herself so naturally it’s obviously her fault for not knowing how to dress historically duh...

actually, ariel is danish. last time i checked, georgia is not in denmark. and, aurora is french, not british. mulan did NOT marry royalty. she was a warrior and fought for china. some of the princesses that were mentioned were pretty poor as well, so there would be no way in hell they'd be able to afford such fancy dresses. how much do you guys fact check these videos?

“She did ended up marrying into royalty, didn’t she?” No. Obviously not.

Thank you comment section for saving me 10 minutes of my life.

The reason all of the outfits aren’t historically accurate is one, they have to animate the scenes, and two, to make the dresses more appealing to children.

Why all the dresses were over simplified in contrast with their historical counterparts? For the same reason Mickey Mouse and his friends are drawn with 4 fingers: *It saved up a lot of time and work for the animators.* Imagine yourself having to draw all those dresses in full detail, frame by frame, with a tight schedule back in the day. Same goes for 3D CGI graphics, helps avoid time constraints and clipping issues. The phrase "less is more" fully applies here for that reason.

Mulan did not marry a prince so she is not royalty. She married Lee Shang a general of the army.

I do love the fanart depicting what their wardrobe would look as more historically accurate, it's stunning and, yes, honestly, prettier than Disneys. However, if I were, say Fairy Godmother, if I were to magically design someone's dress, I wouldn't say "what are the other girls wearing?" I'd rip something out from the future with my magic.

Did you know that talking animals is inaccurate, too?

Neither Belle, Aurora or Rapunzel were supossed to resemble royalty with their outfits - with the latter 2 being lied to about their royal status. Also, Cinderella's dress was made by a friggin fairy - ofcourse it had to have glitter on it.

I like videos like this because it's fun to think about but not when NO ONE DOES THEIR RESEARCH

Actually Mulan did not marry into royalty. She married a general, not a prince or anyone related in the royal family.

I disagree with the Belle one. Belle was way more into her books than into her looks. What was striking about her was her *natural* beauty and lack of necessity to rely on the fashion trends of the day.

the problem with this channel is that they think they are right

Lots of the Disney versions actually make more sense and represent the character bettter. For example, Belle was a commoner and doesn't seem like the type to care about fasion, so her original understated look would suit better than tons of frills.

7:24 Li Shang isn't royalty. He's a general. Not in the royal family. Nobility for sure, but not royalty

It makes me wonder if these people have even seen "Beauty and the Beast" if they think Belle should have been dressed like a wealthy woman. It's very clearly stated that Belle and her father were poor.

Yikes yall really need to put more research and accuracy into these videos... Ariel is Danish, Aurora is French, Mulan did not marry into royalty, etc. etc. You also keep forgetting that many of these princesses were poor, or away from society, therefore wouldn't be dressing in royal/wealthy fashion...

take a shot every time they mention claire hummel

I swear they didn't bother to research anything before making this video, lol.

Princes and the Frog. Tiana DID dress according to her times in her daily clothes. Her costumes were just that - costumes. The wedding dress had also been tied into her being a frog at the time she married. She was in the middle of the bayou and the dress reflected that. I don't think nature gives a care about human fashion statements. It has it's own.

It's not an "error", it's more of an "imagination".

There is a LOT of innacuracies in this video. Many very obvious ones. Although what really put the cherry on top for me is when they used a Victorian image while describing the kind of fashion the era beauty and the best is set in would use. If real research had been done, this video wouldn't have been so abysmally misinformed to the point of making such a poor mistake. Not to mention, no offense to the artists but a lot of the 'realistic outfits' still where not realistic in the slightest. A good portion of them did not take the character's actual social ranking or personality into account either for example. Like again, Belle. She's not royalty, and not extremely well off. She's not poor nor middle class, a little bit higher I would say, but definitely not wealthy. Only the wealthy could afford the fashionable trends with powdered wigs and pastel colored gowns (wich was very popular in France mostly. Honestly the live action movie did a WAY better job at being a bit more historically accurate than this video). It's all just, horribly wrong and misinformed.

Oh, I didn't know people in Cinderella's time had FRICKEN *BREAST IMPLANTS*

Aurora was living in a cottage so she would have worn poor clothes, not expensive ones. The three fairies never told her about her royalty.

Ariel in Georgia?! Dude. It's a fairytale from denmark

About Cinderella’s dress: She has worn in the second movie a historically accurate dress (more or less). She merely chose a much lighter, simpler dress (except for those sparkles) because they are much easier to move in.

Mulan didn’t marry into royalty!!! She married a commander (I think) of the army!

Incorrect about Belle. She was the daughter of a simple inventor and her clothes would have matched that. To compare Belle's clothing to Marie Antoinette (who this video pictured) is ridiculous.

Aurora is French. Mulan did not marry into royalty, she married a general. She was already born into an upperclass family and lived during the Tang Dynasty.

Actually, with the exception of Jasmin, the dresses are pretty accurate. When you are drawing the animation frame by frame you need to simplify the details, otherwise, the production can be prolonged by years!

don't they realize that belle was not like anyone and most likely did not care about how she looked or dressed, and she lived in the countryside so everyone there would have dressed MUCH more casual and all of these would have been when the princesses actually became royalty

I'm not sure why you would expect down to earth bookworm belle to follow fashion trends of england. It doesn't seems to fit with her character. She was not shallow or superficial in the slightest.

...Who expect historical accuracy in a disney animated fairy tale ? We have creatures that don't exist, but the clothing is supposed to be accurate ? You use a genie line to determine the Aladdin took place after the third century but ignore those referencing 20th century pop culture ?

What I have noticed is that the outfits of the princess in the Disney movies are more simple and less decorated than what they should have worn in their time, which I think that Disney wanted to say that you should wear what you like and don't have to wear the latest fashion and copy other but it's better to be comfortable with your own clothes, that's my theory 💜

2:56 she can't dress like that if there are 5 year olds watching, she literally doesn't have a top on smh Also: 5:45 that wouldn't be a very good example for the young viewers making them think different races should be seperated

I think thetalko is wrong about belle since belle was showing that she is imperfect and that she didnt care about how she looked. Also Rapunzel was locked away in a tower for 18 years so how could have she knew what she was supposed to wear. I don't think thetalko really knows what they are talking about because clearly they didn't even know half of the stories.

The little Mermaid takes place in late 18th century Denmark though, very far from Georgia...

We don’t care if the dress is not the right style we just want the story to be good and the princess to have a prince😑

It’s funny how The Talko always get their facts wrong😂😂 it’s like they’re making it on purpose Hahaha 😂

What about Belle leads you to believe she cared about fashion

the little mermaid is from Denmark, H.C. Andersen is the original author. so you should have look at the Danish clothing from that Time

I think Disney did pretty well with Aurora, they are clearly inspired by the era. And sprinkled with some Disney glitter of course!

🎶"Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns." 🎶

What? Mulan did _not_ marry into royalty! And I hope people realize the reason Disney characters designs are so simple is because they're going to have to animate them. To traditionally and fluently animate such detailed and intricate designs frame by frame would take a toll on any animator. This is why simple designs are important for 2D animation.

Mulan married into royalty? Must’ve missed when generals where made a royal title.

I actually like that how Disney drew the princess

As someone currently drawing our beloved princesses in their time period fashion... This ain't it, chief.

Have you realized that belle was just an ordinary village girl? And regular girls of their status wouldn’t have powdered wigs? Sure, beast could have had one in his castle, but his parents perished years before, and we all know he isn’t that sentimental.

I mean, I think it's super fantastic that people are inspired to draw historically accurate, alternate universe, etc. etc. versions of the princesses... but honestly, I felt that the dialogue for this video came off more pretentious than educational. I wish they'd have been a bit more forgiving regarding fantasy characters designed to appeal and be graphically memorable to the modern families in the eras in which the films were released.

Could you imagine the older animations adding more detail to the characters. This would have to be replicated every single frame. Yeah it's fine for Claire Hummel to do a one photo for fun but it wouldn't have worked for animators.

This is Disney! It’s suppose to be classic and funny, not perfect!

Sleeping Beauty is actually a french fairy tale, so the story takes place in France.

The little mermaid takes place in Denmark, not Georgia

Rapunzle was locked up in a tower her whole life basically so her clothes were obviously not the newest. It’s probably hand me downs from her “mother”

Ariel in GEORGIA?!?!? I mean.... are you serious? Lol how do you get that so wrong??????

Shang wasn't a prince, he was a captain. Mulan earned the title of Disney Princess through her acts of heroism.

The Ariel one is literally EXACTLY the same.......

are we just going to ignore that most of Disney's fairytales are Grimm Brothers stories?? we are? ok

feeling fancy, might wear a crown later idk

The whole reason Belle is wearing what she wears is because she didn’t want to look like the other girls. That’s why they say she has natural beauty. And in the live action, the three girls pining after Gaston are wearing historical accurate dresses and wigs

I see the point with Rapunzel but when you think about it, she was blocked off from society completely, so her clothes could have been any type

“Georgia in the 1840s” That house is from the 1880s. Maybe YOU need to do more research.

ariels wedding dress looks exactly like the drawing they should...how intense do they want detail on the dress to be for that time

Also, c'mon. Belle was poor and couldn't wear fancy clothes

Wait.. Did they honestly say the artist just threw her hands up because the images she was getting for Mulan were from China...she's Chinese!! And she didn't marry isn't royalty, Shang was a military leader which would have made his family Nobel and high ranking but so was her family.

As a history buff who focuses most on medieval, tudor and fashion history this video is painful to watch

I don’t care if it’s badly drawn or anything ,I like the princesses this way

7:25 no she didn't, she married a General.

But like dont the villagers just keep talking about how Belle isnt like most girls so i dont think she would take the time to dress like everyone else since she mostly spends her time caring for her father and self and reading

"It would seem that Belle would have made more of an effort with her clothing" Half of the film is about how she's not interrested in this

If Disney made Pokihantas’ clothes realistic, SHE WOULDNT HAVE A SHIRT!!!!

You do realize Mulan was a real person.....

I think the wardrobe are just simplified so the animation process won't took so long. I mean imagine if belle's gown is like that, and they still have to animate the beast and the cutleries and others, we might not even have that epic "be our guest" scene.

Half of these dresses look almost exactly like the original. The originals were just slightly modernized.

I can't remember the last time I down voted a video. Oh, wait, I can. Just now. I agree with so many comments below. Belle didn't care about fashion and was poor, others were also poor and/or didn't choose their own clothes , multiple inaccuracies about location, Shang wasn't royalty.

But the recent movie clearly depicts belle to be different from her peers especially in the beginning...the other women's clothing were elaborate and outrageous but she chose to be simple and modest

They didn't do their research very well. So many inaccurate locations for the princesses and mulan married a general not royalty

I really appreciate all of what you did but Disney tries to make characters look child frindly, simple plus cute, besides, it's imagination, doesn't have to be realistic, on the other hand, it's so observen of you to spot the facts and sitting in the movies. Thank you

uh... the fashion plates that were shown at 3:51 are in fact from the 1880's... not the 1700's

Claiming that their fashion is “historically inaccurate”, yet so many things in this video were inaccurate...plus fairy tales and Disney movies aren’t meant to be accurate...also, why would Belle need to worry about the fashion of wealthy people if she was poor? Her fashion would have been different...

Ariel was actually Danish if you look at the original story of The Little Mermaid was actually called "Den Lille Havfrue", and was written by Hans Christian Andersen. The origin of the original story took place in Denmark.

What the beast did to make belle love her Lock her up in a castle to let her father go

If Disney ACTUALLY knew the correct designs, maybe it was like that to “fit the brand”

Holy whay! Ariel is based in Denmark!!! And the only reason ariel's dress had boofy shoulder pads is because the movie was made in the 1980s!!! Helloooo Lady Diana's dress???? It had nothing to do With the Edwardian era.....Which is early 20th btW.....not 1840s...ok bye

I’m sorry, but Genie saying “looks very third century.” Definitely does NOT give ANY hint whatsoever as to the time period. Genie literally talks about futuristic styles, technology, and people. He pretends carpet it a plane for a bit and turns into a Genie flight attendant. It’s so obvious

yo snow white accurately drawn was stunning

If jasmine was historically accurate she would have been stoned for being out in public without a man
