The waists of Disney princesses are too thin. Inhumanly thin.
The Little Mermaid(Ariel), Belle , the princess of the frog and others have very frighteningly thin waists.
If they got pregnant and/or gave birth the child might even be wider than their waists and the child would just get stuck inside. If their waists are so thin then what is the size of their bones?
The waists look as if you can squeeze them with only one hand.
I don't know why being full-bodied seems to scare some people.

Why does Jasmine allow Aladdin to continue wearing rags and going barefoot when she is a princess and his wife?
Why does Jasmine allow Aladdin to continue wearing rags and going barefoot when she is a princess and his wife?
There is a cartoon called Disney's Aladdin. The hero is a poor boy wearing rags and going barefoot. He likes Jasmine, the princess, who is the daughter of the city's unnamed Sultan. In the end she says she wants to marry him. Therefore he would become a prince. And he would start dressing in richer clothes, right ? Wrong.
The Disney makers of the cartoon decided that even after he married her, he would continue wearing rags and going barefoot and it would seem normal to everybody. In the sequel "The Return of Jafar", he(Aladdin) is still barefoot and wearing rags WHILE living in the palace as a PRINCE.
Even in the video game "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days", which at one point shows Jasmine and Aladdin talking about the Genie, a friend who left them in the original cartoon, Aladdin is still barefoot and wearing rags. Aladdin wants to repair some physical damage done to the city Agrabah. And Jasmine is smiling at him and telling him not to wear himself out , but she does not put shoes on his feet. What kind of love does she have? And even if the Disney characters were the kind of ones who do not worry what others think about them, it is still not good to move barefoot on certain kinds of surface, such as dusty ones where you can get jiggers.
Maybe the Disney creators keep him in rags so that he can be easily recognized by those of us who watched the original cartoon. But if that is their goal then seriously I think that they can simply improve his attire while keeping it in the same style.

Why game sprites are coloured in the computer instead of colouring them outside and scanning them in.
Why game sprites are coloured in the computer instead of colouring them outside and scanning them in.
I just had a thought today. I usually see video games where it appears that the creators used a graphics program like MS Paint to colour the sprites (for example games like King of Fighters, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories). I wondered why they couldn't just colour those sprites with their hands to make them look nicer and richer. I still don't have the answer.
But I have realized that with graphics programs the image filesizes are smaller because fewer colours are used. You just flood-fill an area with a uniform colour. Whereas if you coloured it on paper before scanning it into computer, there would be multiple colours(or shades of colour) on the image due to the rough way the hand coloured the picture. And if you tried to reduce the colour depth of the image to reduce filesize, it might end up looking uglier than an image coloured with a graphics software
