It's so gross that people, especially grown men, openly lust after her and (and Ariel and Pocahontas).

And they're weirdly hypocritical about it. I remember on a message board someone said Aurora was hot and the general response was "gross, you perv, she's 16!" yet it's fine to hypersexualize the others?

Yeah... Glean Keane is gross for drawing this even if he was instructed to. She's 15!!!!

She was sexualized for sure, and ironically she was underage. (Not a kid, but more likely a teenager)
And I think this is the main problem with most of 90s animated heroines (Esme, Poca, Meg, Chel, etc. are the other obvious examples)

no, it doesn't bother me. as a person, if she were in real life, i find it a personal choice of an individual to showcase her/him self as however they want.

I prefer female characters who remain innocent children at heart as late teens-early twenties. Like Rapunzel.

See, my stubborn ass has never been able to accept that she's any younger than 18.
I mean, it wasn't stated in the movie, but I guess if she's officially 15, then that's that.

No. She's a cartoon character. When have cartoons EVER looked like real people? Even the 3D princesses still don't look like real people.

Yeesh.

What wavesurf said.

As a kid, i was awed by how she seduced Jafar, to be honest.

The fact that she's supposed to be younger than me is insane.

She absolutely does not look like she's 15. Definitely oversexualised, as are virtually all the 90's heroines.
