WHOEVER MADE THIS I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE YOUR FRIDGE IS ALWAYS FULL

It’s weird because like, even the movie footage itself has their skin darker than the merchandise- it’s REALLY weird- the bottom one looks much more natural!

I just love the whole “Aurora’s dress is fucking blue okay” aspect

And Cinderella’s was white.

:-D

Ariel’s was pink!

AND CINDERELLA FINALLY HAS HER STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR BACK

‘It’s weird’ is code for 'wow whitewashing is real’

This is for people who don’t understand when I say Disney being less racist than before doesn’t make it NOT racist.

No, this is bullshit because 1) How do you know someone ELSE didn’t white wash this? and 2) If the top ones are from packaging, there’s a reason they’re lighter, and it’s not because of fucking racism.

When you design a package, you want bright colors. You want images and colors that are going to catch a kid’s eye and make them want to whine to their parents about getting it. And they will add any slight variation to a toy to be able to make more of them so that kids will continue to want to collect them. This is why Ariel and Aurora have different dresses. Anything they can grasp at.

They’re not promoting lighter skin, they’re promoting neon fucking dress colors.

Oh, and btw, given that that first image is pretty poorly white washed, I’m willing to bet someone other than a professional package designer designed it.

This isn’t racism, people.

If you go SEARCHING for racism, you’re going to find it anywhere you look, because you want to.

So why shouldn’t SKIN COLOR stay the same? Or at least RELATIVELY similar? Yes, it’s one thing to adjust tints and shades in order to make these princesses more visually appealing side-by-side (as the OP pointed out in a different post relating to this campaign, some of these characters come from movies that are darker in color overall, which is why they look strange in comparison). However, ALL of the princesses of color are significantly lighter than their movie selves. THAT is unnecessary. In real life, when celebrities get shopped, they loose sweat sheens or get shadows enhanced/lightened or get their ribs dislocated, yeah, but never their SKIN COLOR. Kids are more likely to come across the product version of princesses than their movie version (because we tend to go shopping more often than we watch a specific movie). As a result, the product versions and collaborations are more likely to influence how they remember these princesses. By changing the color palate so dramatically, designers are promoting lighter skin as a norm for Disney princesses. When -I- first saw this post, I thought the bottom set was way too dark… and then I realized that the bottom actually matched movie colors, and that I’d been looking at the top set for too long.

I told you about how it irks me when people cast half-black actors as fully-black characters. As a society, we should have no problem acknowledging the fact that ethnicity and skin color comes in different shades, and yet there’s still a stigma. Making Tatiana lighter is like a form of erasure, because it’s saying “well, black is black, so as long as we keep her black, it’s not racist.”

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is a different skin color between the two images. You’re ignoring that. You made the argument that society is in this stigma of “well black is black” no matter the shade. You’re doing the same thing here with white skin by NOT acknowledging that. “Well white is white.” 

And like I said, this is REALLY bad white washing. Snow White’s eyes are POSSESSED. I’m willing to bet this was just poorly shopped. *I* could do a better job re-tinting this for packaging. 

Yeah, they’re all getting lightened, but they are not evenly lightened. The PoC’s go through a more dramatic change than the white ones do. So that’s the root of why I’m pissed off by this.

Also, yeah, they’ve all got these weird yellow tints to their skin that looks really unnatural. I don’t dig it.

“More dramatic” is relative: Pocahontas became fucking line art, and Jasmine is neon peach, meanwhile Snow White and Ariel are fucking vampires. They weren’t just lightened, they were changed color completely. Not to mention, that’s not the Rapunzel from the movie, so they can’t say that she’s a different color in the movie :| Again, all evidence that some amateur fuck noodle did this. So call THEM racist. Or…just bad a fucking graphic design, I don’t know.

omg I died at Pocahontas.

But yeah, okay, fair enough. I have much higher expectations than this for Disney, since they gets so much exposure, and so this stupid picture just feels like “uggh, are you kidding me, Disney?” because I believe that everything that comes from a company or group in general reflects upon it and its standards. So yeah, whoever decided it was okay to do a bunch of princess redesigns however long ago seems to have been a turning point signalling the downfall of princess portrayals. Or something.

I tried to do a reverse Google search to figure out where this came from, but apparently that doesn’t work on mobile…

You’re right in assuming Disney as a corporation should have higher standards…in graphic designers, because seriously, that top image is just a piece of shit, like, come on, really. My six-year-old nephew could do better than, like, seriously.

The more I think about it, the more I think the original image features the redesigned princesses placed together into one image. Like, if you look at the OP’s blog, there’s another post where they show a side-by-side of each princess with advertised/original colors, with their whole bodies, uneclipsed. So I think the OP just took the individual princess pictures and lined them up together to make them fit in one photo, instead of however many. And that should explain why the drawing style (line art) differs.
