Disney better figure out a way to make this happen! You know they’re running out of ideas anyway since its so long between each new animated movie. Do IT Disney! DO IT!!!
I would love this. I would rent a limo and pick up my friends and see this in the theatre. I would buy it when released and host a watch party. I would buy merch. I would support fat designers who were paid fairly by Disney to recreate Mary Alice’s signature looks. I would create/follow a hashtag that celebrated fat womxn and girls living their happy lives and it would take over the globe.
I, OTOH, am going to skip the “body” discussions and invoke the official house-Disney “Queen Elsa” rule:
She doesn’t qualify for the Disney Princess lineup BECAUSE SHE’S NOT A #@%$&IN’ PRINCESS!!
(And, come to that, neither were Flora, Fauna, Merriwether or the Blue Fairy.
Or are we applying Maui’s rule of “If you’ve got a dress and an animal…”?)
Gee, let’s take this a step further. Let’s create the leading role (the traditionally young, thin princess) to appear middle age. Why are leading females always so young, often appearing teenage? Next, let’s give her small eyes that are close together and a big honker for a nose. After all, why not “Face Positivity” too? I used to be 175 lbs. Not once did I ever want to see “myself represented” in any film, real or animated. It’s human nature to want to see the ideal, or the beauty standard, or something that looks good. If I weighed 400 lbs I’d NEVER want to see a 400 lb heroine. That’s just plain stupid. We don’t see short fat bald men taking leads. Why should we change the formula for female leads, which has worked for tons of decades?

A slightly more curvy Princess, fine, go for it, if you want to start that conversation with kids before it’s even in their consciousness, go for it. Though to be fair I’m actually not against a story about a curvier person, you can look at movies and shows like Hairspray to see it can work, but the Fairy Godmother isn’t a Princess, nor will a backstory make her one. Rather than have some sort of woke message behind it, why not, here’s a strange idea, just tell a story without having to dig into the hidden (often non-existant) meaning behind it. The true love in Frozen is that of Elsa and her sister, Elsa MUST be a lesbian…erm, no, Anna is Elsa’s sister not lover, and it’s better to love your sibling than hate them – hating your sibling didn’t do much for Mufasa and Scar. Just tell the story!
Honestly Disney is kid safe not to offend anybody but for non lesbian parents (like mine wouldn’t let me watch another Disney movie and I would cry soooooo hard
I would be interested in seeing a Cinderella spinoff which could be called “Fairy Godmother”, or “Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo” would be good titles for a stand alone Fairy Godmother prequel, I would be interested in seeing her backstory on what she looked like when she was younger and how she gained magical powers to be a fairy godmother.
But please Disney company, don’t make it too dark like Maleficent. Make it more lighthearted and family friendly, just tell the story and families will love the film.

Kristie
I love this, the fairy godmother is one of my favorite characters! Also if they need someone to do her voice I’m here!
Natalie
Love this idea and think that the core message of loving yourself first to be able to give love is right on time!
Hannah
I fully support this idea, and love Rosey! Keep sharing, this would be a home run for Disney!
Elizabeth
Disney better figure out a way to make this happen! You know they’re running out of ideas anyway since its so long between each new animated movie. Do IT Disney! DO IT!!!

Bingo.
Katy
Love Rosey! I would love to watch a movie like this, and share it with my kids.
Holly
Imagine the good this would put out into the world. So many children (and adults) could really benefit from this kind of representation.
Kayla
I need this made like yesterday. I love this story!
Jeri
It would be great to see some form of this. I would love to see a pluz-size princess & Im good if this is how it happens.

Not everyone needs a backstory. We learned this when Disney utterly butchered Maleficent.

Sweet but still they should just know it’s fine to be yourself it’s nice to think of that but yeah
DisneyGirlArianna
It would be just a nice movie sure we have a lot more skinny princesses but does that really matter I mean they are supposed to be role models

As a society we have to be carful to not imbrace obesity . We have seen through covid deaths that obesity related diseases plus covid equals death.
Countries with lower obesity rates have considerably lower rate of death.
