South Florida's 1st News With Andrew Colton By Karen Curtis Photo: msderrick / iStock / Getty Images A new study finds that skinny Disney princesses do not need to be replaced by fat princesses to appease body image issues. Researchers at the University of California-Davis say beautifully thin princesses like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty did not harm kids' sense of self-esteem and body image. And kids who loved princesses with more average or athletic bodies, like Merida, Moana, and Mulan, were more likely to be confident about their own bodies and more physically active.
