Dear Disney,
I know you’ve come a long way since the traditional, damsel in distress, can’t do anything without a prince, Disney princess. In the last few years we’ve seen the first black Disney princess, as well as one who was saved by a sister instead of a prince, but I think there are so many more areas to cover to help the rest of us feel included.
When will we see a Disney princess who:
- wears glasses
- can’t control her eyebrows
- has unruly hair
- has acne
- has gappy or crooked teeth
- is a plus size
- sniffs occasionally, just because it’s cold out
- bites her nails
These are things that we can’t necessarily help about ourselves, and it’d just make the princesses far more relateable.
Yes I may be in my mid-20s but I think you’ll find that a lot of us this age grew up on Disney and are still pretty big fans and loyal customers of the brand!
Yours,
Ineke
If you’re a fan of things like buzzfeed, and are gifted in the art of photoshop, feel free to try and produce images of some of these princesses!
Anything to add...?
