I noticed something weird about Disney Princesses lately. Naturally, I had to examine it through the lens of science. The answer led me to new knowledge about human development, the domestication and taming of animals, and why we find things cute in the first place. You’ll never look at cartoons the same way again

*cries in allergic*
😂
You wanna cuddle it without the allergies. That's it.
@@pupsicle1940 You're still a monster. Why not both?
@@pupsicle1940 *hairless cat*
Well, I am an unfeeling monster. Kudos to those that love cats and dogs, for some reason I have the unfeeling gene. The pups and kittens are cute (just like human babies), but unlike a human baby, I cannot cuddle or put a dog/cat near my face. I do hope my future partner does not want animals... what is wrong with me?😭
“Which would you rather cuddle, this puppy or this wolf?”
*bold of you to assume i wouldn’t want to cuddle both of them*
And that's why we have huskies.
I generally actually find most adult animals/humans better looking.

Guy: Disney Princesses look like this because they want to represent cuteness
Animators: Bigger eyes are easier to animate
easier to draw in general tbh
true
Tangentially it makes expression easier to animate too.
so it's sorta a win-win situation for them lol
Then explain the villain
"We may get old, but we never grow up. Stay curious" honestly one of my favorite quotes I've ever heard
"We may get old, but never grow up. Thats what makes us human. Stay curious"
Omg just as I stopped by this comment he said that !!!
yeah, like dorian gray
I prefer the phrase “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.”
I dont know why but that was so hecking wholesome dducjvt
Honestly, I wish they looked more like they used to. Detailed animation on the clothes, skin, and hair really make characters from these days more unsettling because of how gigantic their eyes and heads are.
yeah the last few disney movies have just looked awful.
Well, the aesthetic has definitely changed for cartoon characters, even since the 80's no matter who makes them.
(Viridi) Haha, i feel ya, i'm a kid on my mom's account and i like learning more then them
I agree.
There is also the japanese effect. "Anime" meaning animation specifically japanese, has many things to offer. The giant eye etc. look might be seeping into western movie production ideas. I wonder also if more japanese animation companies are involved in some of these movies since as one of the greatest volume producer of animation, they are a big place to go if you want a animation done.
Japan also does other obnoxious stuff with the art style not copied as much but yeah....
Nice pp💖

I felt this
You said this as a went by that part of the video
Less go
I thought they looked like cartoons meant to appeal to children.
They are targeted to children
adults just love to over-analyze everything lol, that's why videos like this are made, and why these kinds of tests are always being done
The video addresses that by pointing out old cartoons didn't utilize the "cute" design right away.
and why do they appeal more? because theyre cute
This video was on topic for the first 90 seconds. From that point and after, it became a show off of "LOOK HOW EDUCATED I AM". I stopped it after a couple of minutes, when I realized I was watching the wrong video about this title.
*Why Do Disney Princesses Look Like Babies?*
They did the 10 skincare routine
Or bcause in medieval you was tossed out of house to marry prince at the age of 14.
My response was similar but it was more like, 'Baby soft skin'
Because the older it's Elsa and she's 21-22 😂
True true,but at least Tiana looked a bit realistic
Ya
Aurora and Cinderella were the most realistic looking
Yeah but in the new generation of Disney Princesses it’s Tiana,ur right btw
Uuuh princess Jasmine?
Oh yeah,her too
I think the fact that a lot of early Disney movies made heavy use of rotoscoping (think of it as tracing, but for movement) is the most likely explanation for why early Disney princesses looked more like realistic adult women. Since they used adult women as their rotoscoping models, the characters would naturally have the proportions of adults.
this needs to be the top comment, perfect explanation / theory
Yes. Back then animation techniques were different and the available technology was different. Now they have more liberties, time and tech to stylize everything. I don't know this channel, but there were other things that were overlooked during this video that bothered me.
While a factor it, alone, doesn't explain why non-rotoscoped characters changed in this way, or why the proportions all changed the same way for especally characters designed for audience sympathy.
fireaza Oh, but I also just wanted to add that, proportion aside, some of the older ones still look like babies compared to real women. Snow White looks A LOT like a baby, a pretty realistic one at that (well, the head, I mean).
snow white is literally 14-15 in the movie. she is the youngest disney princess. she should look young.
I realised im gonna be watching animated movies for the next decade
*Me and my dad watching fast and furious when i was seven*
Who needs animation when you have family?
@@bluejay796 yes family
I was 4 when my mom started watching a tv channel called thriller which only shows horror shows lmao
I watched the Matrix when I was 5 :)
I don't need children. I got family.
I hated it when they started makeing characters with huge heads and tiny bodies! It's bizarre looking!
It's bizarre :) Bazaar is a market. But I agree!
They are realizing the power of loli's
*k- 12* except Elsa isn’t a princess
@@wewerebornsick8590 She was a princess before her parents died then she became queen! What Frozen did you watch?
And they don’t look right in the line up of older Disney princesses
for those thinking disney is taking inspiration from anime as well, just remember. Walt Disney inspired Japanese artists with his first film, snow white. her features were the prototype for anime; and in turn japan uses the same psychological idea of neoteny for anime.
Why the Disney princesses are looking more anime is just full circle at this point
I thought betty boop was the prototype
ah yea, they took a lot of inspiration, i mean look at -kimba- simba... besides the point, im just salty

I literally thought moana was like 12
Anna looking 14
I think they said she was 12 in the movie.
@@andreagayle7510 she's 16

I wish they'd do the princesses that they used to, idk I just love that artstyle they're so beautiful
nah that's just boomers feeling feel bad :( we getting older :'((
I definitely love the new art style, but I wish they'd follow the proportion of old movies
The old art style is prettier, the new is cuter. I also prefer the old style, its just more pleasant to look at
My favorite art style is Disney was Tiana’s human design, after that it only got worse
@@batsybuns5911 Tiana was gorgeous. She is my favorite Disney princess

This video in a nutshell: *Old Disney princesses were hot but new princesses are cute*
Older princesses here pretty/beautiful, but as you said, the new ones are cute. I'm OK with cute, but I miss pretty.
@@88happiness I like Jasmine and Tiana. They could be described as cute or pretty and it'd still kind of work either way
@Shania Bollhoefer Rule 34: Imma pretend I didn't read that.
@Shania Bollhoefer in the past they made children look and act like grown women, now they make older teenage girls and early 20s women act and look like children…. Great 😂🤦🏻♀️
@Shania Bollhoefer I'm pretty sure that in the 30's and 40's they didn't think 14 was too young, so it's just about how people acted at that age at that time
"OG Mickey was kind of a... jerk." I laughed so hard at the next clips hahahah
Yeah the old cartoon stuff is so much funnier, just like Tom and Jerry bashing up the place.

I mean, the lastest princesses don't have romantic relationships, so at least it's not too creepy

Anna is not a Disney princess though, neither is elsa look it up
@@joshuacooper7629 I mean, Elsa is the daughter of a King, and so is Anna. I know what you mean, they aren't classified as princesses by Disney, but they are technically princesses

"He's evolving but backwards"
-movie historians
I remember all the news articles about how progressive Frozen II was for having the princesses wear pants.
But they were still barbies. Literally. Elsa has the eyes, figure, and proportions of a Barbie.
They were.... what? Wow, Jasmine got left in the dust real fast there. And Mulan was in pants for at least 2/3 of the movie.

More like Bratz with smaller lips
I don't want to sound rude but how is wearing pants related to being progressive?
rip, but at least they didn't have the waist proportions of other Disney princesses.
Disney Princesses are being designed for Disney's target audience.

"*It's okay to move back in with your parents, and would it kill you to call your mom once in a while?"
Good trick may
Isn't it cute too?
Why do people always explain cute in a way that means 'Well, babies are cute so we'll want to take care of them'? WE perceive those infantile features as cute because we have (as a general survival rule) a biological imperative to care for our young, and those are the features our young have. It isn't that the features developed to improve care, our perception of them as positive evolved so they would be cared for.
I feel the same way! I find it bizarre to find a correlation between cute features and babies and interpret it as "they have those so we want to take care of them," instead of "we want to take care of them because they have the same features as our young."
I’m kinda dumb, just to clarify is what you’re saying that if babies were born with small eyes and tall skinny proportions we would have evolved to find that cuter? Cause yeah that makes sense
@@gracev8762 you've got it. If our babies had small eyes, we would find those features more appealing. You can see evidence of this effect in our dogs, they're eyes are quite a bit larger in proportion to their heads than wolves. They keep many puppy features.
Yess! Exactly! Thank u!
@@gracev8762 yeah it actually does
The wolf looked quite cute. He didn't have to compare like that, I feel bad for the poor guy, they just adapted to their surroundings like that.

I just noticed it wahahaha😂
"we may get old but we never grow up"
Why does that remind me of peter pan?!
Aside from the appeal, big heads/eyes/hands are just more expressive. If you're an animator, you want the most expressive elements to be larger, more visible.
That's true, I didn't think of that one
Come to think of it, the exaggerated proportions also reflect which parts get your attention when interacting with someone [I mean besides boobs, okay? Her eyes are up there. The stuff you pay attention to for *social* cues].
...Also, google `sensory homunculus'. Not surprising that human-made caricatures would [kind of] reflect our internal sensory / motor maps of our own bodies.
Breasts are still a major feature of the line of the body, and the bigger those are, the clearer the posture of the character is. Shoulders, face, posterior, hands, feet. It's basic animation. Liking big breasts is just a pleasant side benefit for some people.
True
what about mulan? *cough* aka best disney “princess” *cough*
Mina Ashido duuh yessssss
And Pocahontas. And hell, even Lilo and her sister aren't overly exaggerated for cartoons. Damn, I miss that brief period when Disney actually made their movies look distinct from each other.
@@csp.9203 bruh I agree but let's not 4get about Tiana she worked hard to get where she was she had a lot of jobs and wasn't all over the princess dream. She stood tall for her beliefs and even saved her friends. But other than that I agree
She isnt a princess tho...

haven't seen Akira but i guess it'll be on a list of films i'll watch whenever i get the chance. i've only watched like 3 episodes of the first season of RWBY. one thing i know for sure though is that i'm definitely super mega confused why those two individuals are in this video
only connection i see is the hair color. also, isnt that a dude?
holy crap that's gotta be kinda offensive to both RT and whoever made akira... was this a mistake or an easter egg??
So that's the reason why me, a 15-year-old and my dad, a 42-year-old, love the same cartoons.
I am a 16 year old my sister a 19 year old my dad is 52 and my mum is 47
......I think he may have a different reason for prefering hyper neotenous features than you do
Your dad is probably a creep if he enjoys watching Disney princesses movies.
They call Anime's proportion wrong when they have bigger creepier eyes than recent animes now.
fr
Also, anime is much more artful in their character style choices. Yes, the proportions aren't accurate, but they work, and the art is still detailed and beautiful. The facial features emphasize expression and add a sense of fantasy. I think Disney's character choices are solely based on designs aesthetically appealing to children.
stxrfish Anime sucks
Shrek is the best franchise and it tops anything. That’s an opinion from ignorance.
fenhen I don’t live in “ignorance”.
All of the modern princesses would look better if they had normal human measurements in my opinion, there is this one artist that did that and they look much better
i think that deppends on taste / mass/populus taste
To be honest when I watched Moana I just couldn't believe at how young she looked and it was almost unbelievable that she was supposed to be 16. Imo Moana is the worst case of them all, it's just sad because it makes her look stupidly babylike
Anay Pareek i prefer a princess who looks to young to one that looks to old. in most childrens media the preteen or teenage main characters are dressed and charactarized older than they are. girls who are supposed to be 13 to 14 are played by 17-18 year olds, wearing bras and makeup. this goes mostly for live action films and cheaper productions. in disney films the age is rarely explicitly stated but up until tiana all of them look like theyre in their early to mid twenties. moana, merida and rapunzel look young, elsa just looks weird... i dont know i just prefer them looking younger than they are to them being this standard age of all beautiful young women
@@killitwithfire5377 what do you mean by this standard age of beautiful women ? and what you just said couod be said to proves the videos isnt it ?
max felson i mean when a movie wants to present a young, attractive woman of non specific age, for example as a love interest its not sometimes a 16 year old and sometimes a 28 year old. they all appear to be a similar age, around 24, at least to me. disney movies have an extraordinary amount of these women and tiana, jasmine, cindarella, ariel and esmeralda all look the same age to me, tiana could actually be around 24, jasmine would historically be much younger but for the story theyd put it up to 17-18. ariel is (canonically i think) 16, cindarella the same. kida is multiple thousand years old but looks „young“, meaning this exact age.
its just the way the ultimately attractive woman looks i suppose.
it kinda does prove the videos point but i dont like the younger looking ones because i like the general design more but because i think its iffy if theres this woman with breasts and curves and a lot of makeup and shes supposed to be 15.
A video of Vsauce called "Why Are Things Cute?" explains this very well. Drawing anything roundish and smaller will make it appear cute already; if you add a pair of big eyes and a small mouth, voilà, you get extreme cuteness. Anime have been exploiting this "theory of cuteness" for decades already and I guess Disney noticed it and slowly started transitioning to a more japanese style of body.
Highway
Totally agree. The cuteness is becoming the main part that attract consumers when it comes to animation movies. So Disney has to follow that path to stay relevant and earn their best. True the Japanese animation started of as mimicking American cartoons (which because Americans were the first to made animation consumer level entirely because they were so advanced by that time that they were more focused on entertainment rather than developing their economy and what not) but now they have gotten to the point where they are so similar and they compete each other for the international audience. And it will cause the animation industry to rise up even further. So copying each other certainly a good thing.
jokes on you, big eyes in anime where inspired by disney.
Don't wanna sound racist, but a Japanese body (unless it's from a girl into the ages of stuprum) is one of the less moe things you gonna find into this biosphere
Olhor Rocannon I'm not sure what you meant there. But if your saying that human bodies were not that tiny/cute/moe ages ago obviously that's right. Since ancient apes had very different forms than modern humans. And their bodies were meant to be rough and tough to cope with the extreme nature. For example apes are very hairy on their skins. And that totally ruin the moesness. But for the other animals like cats or any other domestic pets more hair means more cute.

Even though I feel like you're wrong, because there's still some Disney Princesses that probably came way before anime and still have similar heads.
Like human eye waster neck proportions, and a head the size of a wrecking ball, alongside eyeballs the size of golf balls, or even bigger.
Though apart from the weird a** looking head, the rest of the body is basically just perfect human shape.

this escalated very quickly from disney princesses to humans generally!
'twas a great turn of events
i thought the same thing.
I don’t buy into this. That the reason why they have bigger eyes is to appear cuter and therefore more endearing to audiences. What about the villains? Mother Gothel or Hans? They have big eye proportions too!
Bigger eyes for more expressiveness
i mean if we go according to the logic of appeal these villains were meant to be liked in at the time of their intro...
but Hans was supposed to be a twist villain. We were supposed to like him until the reveal
Well those are some pretty bad examples considering they were both twist villains. So they are supposed to appear nice and nonthreatening so it would make sense for them to have those features. When you look at Maleficent, Cruela DeVille and the like they have very small eyes.
But they have angular faces/jaw, even the round headed purple octopus have angular jaw. Also, almost all of them have this 'thing' with eyebrows that's like an arrow
"would you rather cuddle this dog? *shows picture of a cute dog with floppy ears* or this wolf *shows a picture of an aggressive wolf* "

It's because they are turning into an -Anime- style.
to be fair, Walt Disney first inspired japanese artists with snow white. so it's just coming full circle now

Too true
The most interesting is that cats adopted their meows to mimic the cries of babies because humans biologically have trouble ignoring a babies cry
Where did you see that information?
Annie Skywalker not true. Cheetahs meow too, they aren’t domesticated or mimicking human babies.
Kythra Kel In was in some documentary I was watching about cats I don’t know the name ):
Richelle Sarah Yeah it just says the meow that the domesticated cats have adopted is meant to sound like a baby. It’s changed over time. Have you ever heard a cheetah meow compared to a house cat? Completely different sound
Which is actually more bullshit than manure on field of my farmer neighbor. You mean cats were sitting next to humans and observing them unless they've got idea to mimic voices? What they are? rogue AI which went wrong?

Can’t unsee that!
Hi
Buuuut..... they didn't come up with Neoteny. Were you paying attention?
@@miceskin she means the video
Very simply, bigger eyes make for a more expressive cartoon character. You can go into the psychology of making cartoon protagonists more youthful in order to make them seem cute, innocent, and friendly, but when it comes to animation, the reasoning behind a character's facial features generally comes down to making a face more expressive. I remember a behind the scenes featurette for the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron children's film that explained that they added Spirit's eyebrows to create more human-like expression. His eyes are also much larger than a normal horse's, so it is clear that the main purpose was not to trick people psychologically by making a character seem more childlike, but simply to make the character express emotions much more realistically.
I can't believe scientific knowledges will come from just the body shape or design of princesses from Disney movies XD
This is what I subscribed for! Great video, Joe!
i was wondering this the other day. as i watched frozen 2, it weirded me out sometimes when anna would talk about marriage since she literally looks 12.
2:41 if it were a friendly wolf, which it doesn't look like, I'd cuddle it over the cavalier king charles spaniel, it's so fuzzy
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! they purposely had its teeth bared to manipulate ppl into choosing the dog
I never found degenerate animals cute, but as it seems people enjoy weird looking pets.
@@SuicidalH is that why we cross bread dogs until some couldn't breathe?
@@PiKayDaps Actually yes, the fact they are bred for this particular reason to look deformed, because somebody thinks it's cute is generaly common for small breeds and besides that they can't breathe, they also can't move properly and suffer from numerous health issues in most cases, it's pretty fucked up.
Ye
I also think an important factor is the Uncanny Valley, too. People just don't want their CGI characters to look too realistic.
To be honest I read the title as
"Why do Disney princesses all look like Babes "
adolf fuhrer it is called that though???

Haha same! That's why I got a wolf-a-like dog! I wanted to safely cuddle a wolf!
technically dogs are wolves,so you'd be a cuddling a wolf anyway
Wow you’re so ~quirky~ 😱
You really aren’t like other girls 🤩
:/
r/notliketheothergirls
If you had used a picture of a non snarling wolf I would rather cuddle the wolf. I like wolves better than spaniels.
This may be because I used to have a wolf and I lived with a pack for a while.
I think it was an unfair comparison to use a nonaggressive picture of a dog and an aggressive picture of a wolf.
Fair point.
i think they compared a non-aggressive dog compared to an aggressive wolf, is to show that people lean more towards the adorable fluffy jolly ones, rather than chiseled scary ones that looks less appealing to the audience (the dog being protagonists and wolf being the antagonists)
edit : this was a ‘response’ to one part you said ab “i think it was an unfair comparison to use a nonaggressive picture of a dog and an aggressive picture of a wolf”
**me sitting at the corner agreeing to all of you**
Cherry Bomb the Bobagon sorry you LIVED with wolves? are you doofenshmirtz?
You think you're Mowgli...lol.
That moment when you realize a baby chimp skull looks more human than a baby's skull😳🤯
Those big heads, eyes, and childish behaviors has turned me off of Disney/Pixar and most cartoon movies & TV. . Even as a child, I MUCH preferred an adult character looking like an adult. I think it's bizarre. Also, why isn't there a study that indicates perhaps that's why today's children never grow up?
Right, also I loved the 2d way more than that ugly 3D! (Of course the ones that weren’t that old- Ex:Princess and the frog)
@Debra Bridges well the idea that humans take longer to mature doesn’t just apply to today’s children but many generations back as well. It also kind of implies that taking longer to be independent is a good thing in the long run.
i was with you until that last sentence-sounding a little too “them damn kids these days” for my taste lol
also u answered your own question. “why isnt there a study that indicates [foregone conclusion]?” if i had to guess…probably bc that conclusion is not correct lol
Boomer spotted
@And-Nonymous Previous Disney characters had more realistic features, yet kids were crazy about them and had their pictures on backpacks, bedding etc. So this new baby alien design is being forced on kids. And they're getting used to it now. Even 2000s Barbie movies had realistic faces compared to nowadays Disney princesses.
Also the first animated Disney movie, Snow White, was rotoscoped because animating a realistic-like human hadn't been done really. It was probably one of Disney's special traits. But as it became less and less special they gravitated towards a new style.
Personally I think the big baby style is kind of lazy and boring because its been repeated so many times. I think that's part of the sensation with shows like Adventure Time (along with awesome writing). It's the complete opposite of that baby-style, but kids and adults love it.
P.S. older kids should watch Avatar the Last Airbender because its amazing!
Agree on the last one.
I know right?!
Avatar is the best

same tbh because it's a lot bigger and there is more to cuddle
TBH. The Wolf and just him/her why well i really dont like the Charles Spaniel a bit too small where the wolf is like a big Teddy Bear with Rabies.

5:35 how are rats dependent on their mothers for 4-6 years if they only live for 2 years 🐀🤔
True
he probably just mixed up years with weeks/months ( i don'T know how long rats are dependent on their mothers, so idk if weeks or months)
Either he got it wrong, the wrong animal, or he's talking about a specific type of rat.
Maybe it’s 4-6 years in rat years?
@@alwaysq4191 obviously is It lol
I think you are missing some major reasons for the selecting of the youthful traits. In the early period of Disney the films and characters were targeted for everyone and everyone went to the theater. Also merchandizing toys was an after thought. Over time the primary target for the films has been the very young, as you noted that you'll be watching them more because of your son. Kids are more interested, if they can identity with the characters in a film and they are more likely to want to have toys they are interested in.
Good point. The cartoons my generation (boomers) watched on TV, other than the "good" stuff like Disney's then current high art movies, were mostly adult humor cartoons from movie theaters. Looking back as an adult, it's amazing and horrifying how many racial and ethnic slurs were embedded in those films! And concerned show business people at the time, such as Bob Keeshan (creator, producer, and portrayer of Captain Kangaroo), as Keeshan wrote in op-ed pieces after his retirement, were motivated to make really kid-friendly productions to replace those Saturday morning cartoons. The early Mickey Mouse clips in this video show the kind of adult-oriented, mostly jazz music accompanied crazy stuff that was available CHEAP for local TV stations to put on in the low-rated hours. Some examples:
-- blackface portrayal of African "savages" dancing in the jungle
-- Arabic people bowing down to an idol and chanting "Salami, salami, baloney!" (a parody of "Salaam alekum" which has exactly the same meaning as "Shalom aleichim" in Hebrew namely "Peace be with you")
-- A golfer yelling "Fore!" and a Chasidic rabbi yelling "Three ninety-five!" after him
-- Japanese people portrayed as vicious and devious monsters in World War Two cartoons (understandable DURING the war, but persisting for decades afterward)
-- adult sexual situations, such as a henpecked Daffy Duck forced by his wife to sit on their egg; seductive women and lascivious men, portrayed literally as wolves
In those older cartoons, there was no motivation to draw characters as "cute" (except possibly baby Sweepea in the Popeye cartoons), and villains were drawn as EXTREMELY large, with huge muscles and proportionally small heads (except the heads seemed to grow when the character was eating something, whether huge amounts of legitimate food, or biting things to make a weapon). The characters were FUNNY but often in a DEMEANING way.
But once cartoons were AIMED at children, and also aimed at parents watching WITH their children, things changed, as has been documented in this video.
"we may get old, but we never grow up" I'm saying this for a long time now and I feel so bad for everyone who has that 1950s mentality of "men do this, women do that and none of them can do child stuff because they're big people" they're also the most miserable people I've ever seen.
I love growing, there's so much to discover, to learn and there's not a single boring day in my life.
Would you rather cuddle this cute dog or this wolf?
Both?
Put the foxes on that list too
5:31 your video says rats depend on parents from 4-6 years...... they only live from 2-3 years...... :T
thats mice
Rats only live to 2 or 3 years, and even less in the wild!
Liam Birdsell, no i own rats, i know my rat stuff
Rats are not domesticated animals, they'd live longer in a wild
iop erty Uh what do you mean rats are not domesticated, they’ve been breeding them and keeping them as pets since the 18th century, if you walk into any pet store you are most likely to find rats,i have pet rats FROM A BREEDER in my house right now. 😐
When I saw the title, my first thought was "most are fricken children" 😂
Why are there so many people saying "Oooo! I'm so quirky, I want to cuddle with the wolf!"? This is a valid question I have and I do not have an answer
Because people want to feel special and like they're different. It's something you're going to see a lot. Unfortunately.
Also, some of them are furries.
@@shara5985 Oh no.
I wouldn't want to cuddle with a wolf (obviously that's dangerous) but wolves are more beautiful than most dog breeds. I'd rather look at pictures of wolves than pictures of pug puppies.
2:36 sorry joe, but I'm all for the wolf... gonna tame it and howl at the moon in duo :D

they want to make you care for them at an unnatural level.

some sort of manipulation tactic.

It worked on me:) I adore Disney.
Well, I guess dogs and cats existence is manipulative too. They have evolved to having baby like features as: big round eyes, small snouts, soft lines...
How the hell rat have parental dependency 4-6 years when they only get to live for 2?
He literally just called me a unfeeling monster

Why did I read the title as, "Why Do Disney Princesses All Look Like *Barbies*?" 😂
Me too xD
Licencing...

I like the old designs with more realistic proportions
Ironically the more modern disney princess body design was altered in order to look more realistic lol
The heights and most proportions were better but a lot of the body shapes weren't (you know, like fuckin tiny waists that look sickly)
The height proportions were not better. They were closer to reality, and you are allowed to find that more appealing, but closer to reality does not mean better. Separating yourself from reality (or stylizing, because this is really what we are talking about) is not a bad thing if the way you deform reality fits your goal.
The wolf. It looks cuter. Just me, okay.
I found the wolf cuter too!
I personally also prefer dogs who look more like wolves to those who are completely overbread.
yea! just you! because you're sooooo different!!!
Because you’re not like other girls.

Y SO SIRIUS I think they're both cute, but I really want to cuddle that wolf.
Y SO SIRIUS i agree
Was looking for just this comment.
The metalhead in me prefers the wolf to the spaniel
Y SO SIRIUS maybe you're just a Sirius black fan?🤷
Idealizing, overemphasized proportions, and minimized detail are the cornerstones of toon art... It's not as creepy as it seems at first blush.
You mentioned the flight or fight response. I think there is also the freeze reaction, as when a mouse appears dead when a cat is looming over it, or when a human goes floppy and unresponsive when in shock. As well, I think there is a float reaction. When people are in a highly stressful situation over a long period, they can lose the ability to interact with reality in any sensible way. They just drift in the situation, tuning out via alcohol or even via using humor to indicate that they are not real participants in the situation. Floating may be similar to depression or just tuning out.
