How did we never notice this before?
Growing up, Disney movies were a massive part of our childhood. Before Pixar and animations, you had wonderful tales of Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Pocahontas and all the rest of the Disney princesses.
But, when we were kids we never thought too much about them and their appearance. Apart from admiring their dresses and clothes, of course.
It turns out if we had been paying more attention to the finer details we would have noticed that all the princesses are missing one detail – they have no fingernails.
In the old school cartoons, the makers just seemed to omit fingernails from the lead characters.
The female characters aren’t alone in the no fingernail situation, with some key male characters not having any either, but it appears the creators at Disney haven’t made this decision lightly.
We thought it might be because drawing fingers nails might have been time-consuming or a waste of time, but they’ve given them to some less favourable characters, such as Ursula from The Little Mermaid and the evil Queen in Snow White.
We may never know why they weren’t given a proper manicure.
