Cinderella's Waist - What a Waste!

In the new Cinderella movie the actress who plays her was so tightly strapped into a corset that she couldn't eat.  The end result - a ridiculously tiny waist.  I guess they were trying to make her look like a cartoon character.  Well it worked.  This movie will be seen by young girls the world over who may aspire to that impossible physical standard.  

This is important.  What we show young girls influences them.  Even as a not so young girl, I am still in envy of the 1% of the population that look like models, and criticise my thighs accordingly.

This article, by Nina Funnell shows just how far Disney went.  And in a current picture just how normal the actresses waist is.  Shame on you, Disney.  You had an opportunity to do great good and you blew it.

She's not a cartoon character, she's a human being.
