Is this thread seriously still going!?!

Disney can't have a fat princess . Most Disney princess movies starts out with the hero having a problem that has to be overcome.
A fat Disney princess problem would deal with the isolation and snickering of others at school or work.
What would the people causing the pain look like? Disney princesses.
Seriously, put Aurora and Jasmine in modern clothes and they are the villains to the fat girl story.
Plus, how does the fat girl win? Can she realistically get the good looking guy? No! She only wins by losing the weight. That only reinforces the problem to a young fat girl.
Here are a few things I would like to see.
A fat girl can be smart, and she can regain her self confidence. She can learn to wear clothes and makeup that complements her, and she can learn to carry her head high. She can learn to do better with her eating and that it's ok to not look like Aurora. She can also learn that even though she may not get Prince Philip, there is an adorable teddy bear of a guy out there that will treat her well and not like a possession. She will learn to not rely on her looks but by the strong will she has developed. She can start her own business or earn her degree or both and she can and will make it...and live happily ever after.

I think it's interesting that the "fat girl" could never land the slim, good-looking guy, yet movies and TV shows are full of balding, middle-aged men married to young, hot women. It seems like quite the double standard.
Money is the great equalizer in that equation.
From an evolutionary perspective (which you can believe even if you don't believe we evolved from monkeys), women are often attracted to men they think can provide for them and give them security. Men are attracted to, well, young, hot women!

DreamWorks made your movie already, it's called Shrek. It was wildly successful, won an Oscar and had 3 sequels.

This has got to be the dumbest conversation on dis boards....

Actually, from an evolutionary perspective, men are attracted to women who can bare children. A real woman the size of a Disney princess would not be able to bear children.
It has everything to do with western culture valuing unhealthy UNDER weight women over healthy-weight women.
What a stretch!! Never heard a man say that!!! Where did you get that one? Not from any men in this, or the last generation.
