Unfortunately, today's culture places a huge emphasis on men and women to have perfect bodies. Some people maintain that this message is internalized by children at a young age by being exposed to pop culture and media entertainment. It can be argued that cartoons such as Disney perpetuate this unhealthy narrative because the majority of the princes and princesses are slim and beautiful. But what happens when the heroes we're used to seeing start carrying a little bit more weight than usual and more accurately represent the bodies of the average person? Check out these pictures of Disney men with a plus-sized makeover and see if it changes the way you feel towards them.

The world of Disney is full of princesses, damsels in distress, and courageous male knights in shining armor. DC and Marvel comics too, are predominantly full of male superheroes, with a severe lack of strong female presence. It's not exactly the most empowering message for young girls. But what happens when we combine the two worlds and turn the Disney princesses into superheroes and show young girls that princesses too can be as strong as Disney princes? The illustrators at Bright Side did just that and the results are incredible. Check out the modern-day Disney superheroes below and let us know what you think!
If you didn't grow up with Disney, you didn't have a childhood. There, I said it.

Whether it's Jafar, Scar, or an evil stepmother, there are a few classic baddies who made our childhoods what they were. But no one ever really calls them out on the manipulative behaviors that we took as a given. Until now. Below are a collection of ruthless roasts on our favorite Disney villains. How many do you agree with?

Just when you think Disney characters have been re-imagined in every possible way -- BAM!
There's another.
I mean, we thought we saw the end of this trend when one artist re-imagined them as hot dogs.
But oddly enough, whenever a new re-imagined scenario pops up, it's impossible not to scroll through and enjoy the sheer imagination and the obvious talent of the artists.

Sorry folks, but if you're planning on proposing marriage to your special someone any time soon, the bar for creative proposals has been raised very, very high. Filmmaker @Yours_True_Lee created an elaborate romantic proposal at a screening of Sleeping Beauty in which he changed the ending for his love. Six months of work went into this proposal and it was sure worth it. Wishing y'all a lifetime of happily ever after!
Um, excuse me, how is there no Robin Hood in this list?
To quote @pricepeterson, who started this thread, "A lot of these answers are making me UNcomfortable thank u."

So, Disney lovers, what do you think? Is this list correct or are there way sexier scenes on Disney+ that no one has yet to mention?
Let us know in the comments below!
And honestly, we're here for it.
Buzzfeed Artist, Crystal Ro, has taken the ever-popular "Baby Yoda" and re-imagined him dressed as each one of the Disney princesses.
The result? Pure magic.
"Baby Yoda" as Disney princesses is not something we would have ever thought of but we're sure glad someone out there did.
Many people grew up with magic. We are not referring to Harry Potter magic or magician's magic, but instead the special, indescribable magic of Disney. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably had a favorite character, a favorite Disney princess, and a favorite Disney movie. Your bedspread, blankets, pillows, bedroom furniture, and clothes further solidified your love for all things Disney. Disney was a childhood lifestyle, and its characters were our spirit animals, always good, innocent and heroic. However, Japanese graphic designer, Shusaku Takaoka, decided to challenge the way we see our favorite cartoon characters by digitally incorporating them into places and scenarios they don't fit into.
Princess Merida is the protagonist of Disney Pixars' Brave, and was recently featured in Disney's Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet. In Wreck-It Ralph 2, there is a scene in which all the Disney Princesses are in a room together chatting, and when Merida finally speaks, no one is able to understand a word she says due to her heavy Scottish accent.
This may be a year old but it started circulating the web recently. Twitter has turned this scene into a meme by trying to deciphering what Merida is saying, and the results are just too good not to share.
Whoa, this is one wild ride! In these 40 tweets, PIXAR fan Rafael Poulain explains how each film is related, and how that relation means the sweet little girl from Monster's Inc. is in fact the same old witch from the film Brave. Read the tweets below and let us know your thoughts! Is it possible or is this theory totally reaching?
And we're obsessed. Let's face it, princess or not, no one, and we mean no one would look that perfect 24/7. At first, Andhika Muksin would photoshop Disney characters onto celebrity photos but now he's made a turn with his art and we're totally here for the magic carpet ride! Enjoy what these Disney characters would've actually looked like in certain angles/situations if they weren't Disney-ifed!
