Every single one of those princesses is beautiful, with perfect, flawless skin, big, sparkling eyes, a thin and tall figure, and long flowy hair. The ideal image of a beautiful woman.
The only reason that movie makers create this image is to attract more people, because what is tattooed in the minds of people today is: People will only love you if you're beautiful. And of course, movie makers want people to love their movies.
So what that's saying is, if you're not beautiful, nobody wants to see you.
If you don't have flawless skin, if you're not tall, if you don't have gorgeous, flowly hair, if you're eyes aren't big and sparkly, well, too bad so sad, nobody finds you appealing. That is the sick image that is stuck in most people's minds. The more a girl looks at that princess, and the more she looks at her self, the more differences she finds between the two. This type of image is a fabrication of the human mind. Beauty is not real, it's simply an image of something that we think looks pretty. Hairstyles change and fads come and go, so it's obvious that our perception of beauty can change, it all depends on how people want you to look at it.
If advertisers and movie makers all made their actors and models have purple skin and rainbow colored hair, that would be considered beautiful, and everyone would be rushing to the spray tan parlors and hair salons.
And it's not just women that face this, men do too. In Disney movies, almost all the princes look the same. Big, tall and muscular, broad shoulders, deep voices, sleek, perfect hair, a gorgeous smile with unnaturally straight teeth. That is the image that is created for a "handsome" man. The idea of "beauty" is the same for both men and women, and even through time and different mediums, it will never change.
