i know they already screwed that tiny bit of fat positivity in shrek 4 by making it so Fiona was the most attractive and thinnest of all ogres there. But god they had to make her lose even those tiny ounce of unconvential heroine features

      now idk how commonly discussed this is. but in my viewing, how to train your dragons 3 was one of hardest movies to watch in a long time. and thats all to be blamed on this

      this dragon actually made me pause a dozen times just to check if im not going insane. it is like if someone made misogyny into a character design. from old timey ‘perfect women ideals’ to some current ones, they are all here:

      • smooth white skin thats translucent
      • all the features are smoothed out, horns, tails, wings, any texture of any kind
      • body details are gone in order to make the body/skin and even the eyes appear smooth
      • she talks with what i can only imagine is intentional ‘stereotypical smooth feminine’ voice
      • the way she’s animated itself is that, more smooth and more delicate movements

      I know describing it like this sounds stupid. but i had to take days long breaks in viewing the movie bc i thought i was being crazy, “it cant be that bad”. but it is, i cant unsee it, and i feel horrible that this movie has this. they could’ve changed the dragon and it would’ve not been this bigotry.mp4 movie for me. but it is

        It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but your description seems accurate, it’s just that pretty much all disney/pixar/dreamworks movies are and have been like this. It doesn’t stand out
