If they exude health in the animated films devoted to them, some Disney princesses would probably be in bad shape in the real world, according to a (very) serious study in the medical journal British Medical Journal published Monday December 16, 2024 and cited by France Info.
After having “examined” the world of animated heroines, the researchers behind this “revelation” indeed assert that several of them would “face serious health problems if they evolved in real life” .
The experts of British Medical Journal note that Snow White, for example, was very isolated before meeting the seven dwarfs. His mental health could have suffered and put him at risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety and premature death. Just that!
Stroke, obesity, diabetes…
Belle would run the risk of potentially fatal infectious diseases (such as brucellosis or rabies) through simple contact with The Beast; exposed to dust all day, Cinderella would face a real risk of lung disease; and Pocahontas, who plunges from the top of a cliff for nine seconds, is said to have suffered “a symphony of fractures.”

Also citing a risk of alopecia for Rapunzel and of cardiovascular disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes and pressure sores for Sleeping Beauty, the scientists facetiously encourage Disney to “consider interventions to overcome the problems of health of his princesses.
