For years I have watched Disney Princess movies, and yes every princess has a different personality, but the one thing they all had in common were their shapes and sizes. When in reality, all little girls don’t come looking exactly alike. So why are there no princesses of every shape and size?
I have been reading through the stories you all are leaving about how much this would have meant to you as children. It is heartbreaking to realize how many of us grew up feeling like we did not belong in the fairy tales we loved most.

Seeing this conversation grow so quickly proves that I am not the only one who grew up wishing for characters that reflected my own body. Watching this momentum build is deeply moving because it validates the little girl inside me who just wanted to feel seen on screen.

All types of body shapes should be able to be represented as a princess on Disney movies.

Princesses should be of all colors, religions, shapes and sizes.
