The atrocity pictured to your right assaulted my screen during “Disney Dilemma,” last night’s installment of Food Network’s Dinner Impossible. I have long been horrified (and somewhat hypnotized) by the three-dimensional versions of the various princesses trolling around the Magic Kingdom, but Belle’s beastly rug is just 1-800-TOO-MUCH. Get it together, Disney World groomers!

I think the fact that Belle looks like a middle-aged woman is a far worse atrocity than the hair or makeup.
yup!
this
She looks like Alice from ‘The Brady Bunch’.
Belle always had the weirdest hair, she’s my fave disney ‘princess’ but more than once I have woken up lamenting my Belle hair.
Have you seen Peter Pan’s rug?
Or Ariel?
or the Prince of Persia’s?
She looks a little too old to be Belle…. but okay. The girl who plays Mulan at Disneyland’s Calif. Adventure looks EXACTLY like her.
That is just horrible, especially since Belle is considered to be the most beautiful Disney princess in the Ceballos household. (BTW, Nee Nee is right about the actress’ age being a bigger issue…oh no wait, it’s still the wig. Sorry.)
However, I wouldn’t make this an indictment on all three-dimensional versions of Disney princesses – I think Nicole Scherzinger made for an exceptional Princess Jasmine on “Dancing with the Stars” this past season.
can all of the lunchtime polls PLEASE have Disney references? love it!
Generally speaking the “3D princesses” tend to come off better in stage verisions. A staged Beauty and the Beast will still have the requiste ridiculous ‘do, but at least be sorta ok. The in-park wigs, though, are wretched, and considering how annoyingly specific Disney Park casting directors are, it’s very surprising how low their costume standards are.
It’s bad but you obviously haven’t been around enough wigs to know.
Seriously there are much worse out there. And at Disneyland it’s nowhere near the worst…. Peter Pan is ratty nasty. I always feel so so sorry for the guys dressed up in that costume. ew.
Quelle horreur! I agree that it’s bad, but maybe not more so than 90% of the weaves on Top Model. Tyra et al. try to pass them off as looking good, so I feel like it’s exponentially worse.
Also, applause to Annie for all of those metadata tags. They might have a higher word count than the actual blog entry, but each is spot on.
Did you see the recent Project Runway contestant, Jesse LeNoir, who used to portray Capt. Jack Sparrow at Walt Disney Word? Now HE looked exactly right!
Well, she looks better than my male high school classmate did as Belle. The girl who played Gaston in this scenario was equally unconvincing. But the lip sync that was the cause of all this cross-dressing was HILARIOUS.
I’m just impressed she’s in the blue dress instead of that godawful gold monstrosity!
the only thing wrong with it is that the lady playing Belle looks like she is between 35 and 40, when Belle is really 18-21 years old. I love Disney World but the need to pick a younger person to play Belle!
Princess Aurora/Rose, the most beautiful Disney princess ever, was probably the only “real-life” Disney princess that didn’t look ridiculous to me the last time I went to Disney World. And that’s because the actress wasn’t wearing a wig.
But we DO have some real life Disney characters, people. Anna Tre-BUN-skaya is actually Ariel, Jon Hamm is Prince Eric, and, in my sister’s opinion, Kim Kardashian is Jasmine.
Oh, and Josh Holloway could totes be John Smith.
Jon Hamm as Prince Eric and Josh Holloway as John Smith! Thank you for those images, now I will be daydreaming as I watch those movies with my daughter.
Kim Kardashian (and her ass) doesn’t carry enough class to be Princess Jasmine. Oh no.
