A theme park in the Netherlands called Efteling Theme Park Resort is facing backlash after a photo of its Sleeping Beauty attraction went viral. The display of Princess Aurora shows her with large breasts, leading to criticism and mockery on social media. The photo was shared by Nick Ringelberg, a travel photographer, showing Sleeping Beauty with a curvaceous bosom, long blond hair, and wearing a white gown. Ringelberg noted that the character’s hair had grown significantly over the past 8 months, along with her exaggerated bust size.
After the photo of the Sleeping Beauty attraction went viral, a spokesperson for the park explained that during maintenance in the Fairytale Forest, the figure of Aurora was redesigned to resemble the original drawing more closely. This included longer hair, new lighting, changes to the stones on the path leading to the castle, and the mattress Sleeping Beauty sleeps on. Despite these overall changes, social media users were more focused on the size of her breasts, making jokes and comments about the unrealistic and exaggerated appearance of the princess.
The viral photo of the Sleeping Beauty attraction prompted various jokes and comments on social media, with some users suggesting that the character looks like she is about to start an OnlyFans account due to her appearance. While the park spokesperson admitted that people were surprised and found the situation comical, they clarified that it was not their intention for Sleeping Beauty to stand out in this way. The spokesperson acknowledged the confusion and humor surrounding the situation but emphasized that it was not meant to be taken as a joke by the park.
Despite the park’s attempts to address the criticism and confusion surrounding the Sleeping Beauty attraction, social media users continue to share their thoughts and jokes about the exaggerated depiction of the Disney princess. Many commenters highlighted the unrealistic and inappropriate nature of the princess’s appearance, making jokes about her bust size and overall design. The controversy surrounding the Sleeping Beauty attraction has garnered international attention, with people from different countries weighing in on the situation. Some users have expressed amusement at the situation, while others have criticized the park for perpetuating unrealistic standards and inappropriate depictions of characters.
