Many of us spent our childhoods attempting to watch every Disney princess movie imaginable. Everybody had their clear favourite (Jasmine for us). We’re sure you and countless others watched the movies and:

Cherished your princess’ luscious locks…

Gazed lovingly into her enormously large eyes…

Coveted her super-tiny waist…

Um, wait a minute. Their waists are, like, impossibly tiny.

And by impossibly tiny we mean it’s legit not possible for a non-animated woman to be proportioned like that all the while living a healthy life — although some are trying.

If we’re honest, we never really noticed how odd their waists looked because, well, all the princesses have toothpick-thin waists. BuzzFeed found some women who, just like us, were pretty shocked when they saw what their favourite princesses’ waists should actually look like realistically. Watch the video above to see the women react to the remarkable before-and-after shots.
