I was originally planning to make a video with my own versions of historically accurate Disney princesses, but I feel like - because my focus is on European fashion - I need to make more research on the Eastern princesses. but it's still coming one day, stay tuned. also sending lot's of love to all the video creators whose videos I discussed! no hard feelings and I'm looking forward to your future work!

Bold of you to assume they even hired a fashion historian.
The woman they hired sounds more like just some random woman from buzzfeed.
It's Buzzfeed, at best they just had one writer check Google image search and Wikipedia
The one time they hired Bernadette Banner
Briana Schmidt Which video was she in?
@@brianaschmidt3509 which one
BuzzFeed - "Here's a historically accurate Belle from the 18th century."
Marie-Antoinette - "Hold my guillotine."
"Hand me my guillotine"
"Hold my head"
She is supposed to be a villager not the freaking queen 😤
sun :3 but she married a prince, making her an aristocrat
Frogg doggs but that was at the end of the story. For most of the story, she was but a French peasant girl.

Ryan Kerns uh no, @S M was the one who corrected someone in a polite way and @Keznen was making a joke...
Buzzfeed: Ariel is from Georgia
Hans Christen Anderson: *Danish*
Ariel: *the daughter of a Greek mythological figure*
The greek mythology guy's name was posidon and her fathers name is tyson ( i think ? ) so no he's inspired by him but he is not a greek figure

The bit with AzaleasDolls at 3:29 - "this photo drawn by Azalea's Dolls is spot on-" ( IS IT?!!!!!)

I think someone should make a movie based in the 20th and 21st centuries and purposely get everything as historically inaccurate as possible. Imagine: teenage girl comes in wearing bellbottoms and playing flappybird, argues with mother about feminist movement while it is unclear which wave of feminism is being portrayed (are they after the vote, labor equality or what?) Mother is churning butter by hand, and worried about her husband fighting in war. It is unclear whether he is in Vietnam or World War One because technologies, strategies and places from both are mentioned. The movie would be a hot mess and it would be glorious!

Skrzacik I know the artist, and the voiceover in that Buzzfeed video totally misquoted her. The only mention of Georgia in her original post is to say that the TIME period is hard to pin down in the movie because: "Grimsby's wearing a Georgian getup, Ariel's pink dress with the slashed sleeves subscribes to several eras from the Renaissance to the 1840s, and Eric is... Eric."
As you can see, that was a reference to the Georgian PERIOD, and neither of the two locations called Georgia. But that's Buzzfeed for ya. XD

Myb sister just pointed that out to me yesterday so we looked it up on a map, but while it's close to the Caspian sea, it doesn't border it. It's only coastline is the black Sea. Still close enough to be touched by the winds of the Caspian though I suppose.
@drag0nfly_girl Huh, fair enough. What was fashion like in 1840s Georgia among the upper classes? Was there a distinction in dress between Georgian elites and Russian officials?
@@cossaizy6309 300s Arabia Wut? But there are references to Islam in a few of the songs.
@@AugustSideling She referred to the Georgian fashion era, not Georgia the country. She was misquoted in that instance.
Yikes. I know the artist who did the Little Mermaid painting, and that Buzzfeed article completely misquoted her! Her only mention of Georgia OR the 1840s in the painting's description is to say: "The Little Mermaid is hard to place from a time period standpoint- Grimsby's in a Georgian getup, Ariel's pink dress with the slashed sleeves subscribes to several eras from the Renaissance to the 1840s, and Eric is... Eric."
Don't worry, she's well aware that the story takes place in Denmark, and was only referring to the Georgian PERIOD as displayed in Grimsby's outfit. XD
Ah so Buzzfeed was doing the standard journalistic coverage of anything to do with academia..........or any sort of science, medicine, or health............ or a religion other than the journalist's own (and sometimes they obviously don't even understand their own religion)........ or really anything that requires any degree of nuance or research to understand. "I don't understand what's happening, but I'll pretend like I do very hard."
Oh Jesus, that's embarrassing how off-based they were.
Lol yeah, Georgian means first half of 1800s, king George aka Regency era, time of Jane Austen, Byron, Mary & Percy Shelley, not the state of Georgia OMG! XD How could someone confuse them, it's almost like those Americans who thought that ruski invaded them in 2008 when russian troops occupied the Caucasian country Georgia
Kasumi Gaming georgian means during the reign of the four king georges of england, so from 1714-1830

How could they not know where the little mermaid is set? It's a Hans Christian Andersen story, not a Disney story. (All the Disney movies are adaptations, not original stories. Many are Grimms Brothers fairy tales.) Hans Christian Andersen is a Danish writer. There is a famous statue of the little mermaid in Copenhagen. This is not hard to research!
Ikr! I was screaming inside when they said Georgia??
Same here! What makes you sure it isn't set in the 11th century? It could be anything BEFORE the time it was known to be written down, not that time exactly!
Yep, yep and YEP! Research is always important, and can be accessed with google or any browser sites. lol Buzzfeed don't do enough research. Then again, what can we expect from scumfeed?
@@bialynia very true since most fairy tales begin with " once upon a time", not with "last week this happened". So even at the time they were written, it was presented as something that happened long ago.
@@lestranged Also "Far away" not necessarily "in a neighbouring village" :)
Georgia????? Georgia???? Prince Eric of GEORGIA???? I thought it was common knowledge that it was from Denmark?
Italy. ruclips.net/video/uIVPIgiWDUQ/видео.html

I'm glad you spoke about Claire Hummel's work and people not crediting her. The point of her "historically accurate Disney princesses" series was to take the princesses and ground them in a specific time/place/era, while still keeping the colours and major design elements of the characters, so obviously some liberties are taken with accuracy but the result is still a gorgeous image and an improvement (in terms of accuracy and detail) on the original designs. I feel like a lot of these videos haven't even looked at the descriptions she posted with her original art explaining her design choices.
Makes me sad to see people taking her work out of context and using it without credit for their own videos :|
GEORGIA????? As a Dane I am very triggered. My man H. C. Andersen deserves better
glad I wasn't the only one lol
Yeah it really made me cringe as a literature fan.
I know the artist, and the voiceover in that Buzzfeed video totally misquoted her.

Eric."
So, the Georgian period. Grimsby as depicted in the movie. Nothing to do with either location named Georgia. But that's Buzzfeed for ya. XD
Artoveli Thats superb research
Granted, though, there's mountains and big boulders in the Little Mermaid Disney movie, so I feel like it probably isn't set in Denmark either. Maybe it could be a Danish colony or something, I dunno.

“this photo drawn by Azalia’s Dolls-” *LAUGHS IN DOLL MAKER PHASE*
oh my god literally. That was made by a random person using Azalea's maker, not by Azalea herself. I just can't get how it's so difficult to look up the artists they're using images from to check that they're crediting properly. Had they done so, they would have found her website and not wrongly credited her for an inaccurate drawing, making her look bad for not researching! But naturally googling historically accurate disney princesses is far quicker and easier than looking for ACTUAL REAL LIFE FASHION DOCUMENTATION. But I digress. After all, it's buzzfeed. 😂😂

-Shows off a Stick Style/Queen Anne-style house, style trends that only came about AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.
That style of house would have only been built during the 1870s/1880s/1890s.
They need to go back to the Federal, Classical, and Greek Revival styles to get an accurate 1840s house from Georgia.
They couldn't get the fashion OR architecture right.

Actually, I don't think it is that interesting to talk about whether Disney princesses are historically accurate (everybody knows Disney people didn't know anything about anything, and especially about anything outside of US), but I would love some fashion historian's insight in how the princesses match the era the movie was made. For instance, Snow-white has that distinct 30-s noir thing going on, and Cinderella is a Grace Kelly. Could you please please please make a video about that?
yes, that's actually interesting too! how fashions from the time affected the way the princesses look
I was thinking abut that too, especially the "older" princesses - Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora.
Oh that's an excellent point! I wonder if you look at say more modern princesses do they look like the decade they were made? If you think about it Ariel does kind of have that 90's high hair *1989 Cindy Crawford supermodel hair
@@LDrosophila Of more modern princesses mirroring modern fashion, I think Elsa is the best example - her dresses scream Ellie Saab and her braid! That sort of braid was (still sort of is) a dime a dozen in the years leading up to frozen
There are several articles on that subject on Frockflicks, I think.
Cries in Danish when looking at Ariel who I grew up knowing as a blonde mermaid named Sirene🤧
Interesting that her name was Sirene! Interesting because in Polish, we have a very similar myth to the Little Mermaid called Rusalka, but a mermaid translates to Syrena/Syrenka (very close to Sirene). Call me weird but I find it charming when I seen European fairy tales converge on some details and trying to speculate why 🤪
I can't wait for the Disney Princess who has a 1980s perm, a 1950s tea dress, Gogo boots, a sports jacket and a cloche hat

Dunno about those neon plastic earrings...1980’s neon plastic earrings were usually button earrings or occasionally “door knockers” but not pirate hoops like these.
@@6thgraderfriends the 80s did a throwback to the 40s at some point so that's what it reminds me of! I have a beautiful romper from the 80s with a 40s cut, but the print is definitely something out of the 80s.
That Belle video annoyed me so much when she said corset instead of stays
Most people have no idea what a "stays" is. They'd have to explain it a lot more.
@@nope6021 No they wouldn't because they show them drawing each garment as they go along. You can clearly see stays are not the same thing
What annoyed me was they could have taken the five to ten seconds to just mention that during that time period they were called stays. Didn't even have to get any more detailed than that.

Me, an intellectual: which Georgia?
thetalko, not buzzfeed
Whatever video shes sourcing these clips from really did claire hummel dirty
True. Oof.
Seriously!
I decided to double check after that excerpt because, while Claire Hummel did state her costumes were supposed to be 'closer' to reality, not perfectly accurate, her placing Little Mermaid in 1840's Georgia was a "huh???" moment. It is simply not what she says in the description of the picture. She says the inspiration for the movie looks is scattered: there's a minor character with a Georgian set up, the slashed sleeves are present in many eras /including/ the 1840's. She simply made a choice to go with 1890's because of the leg-o-mutton sleeves. She doesn't even give a guess of when the movie is set. It irks me because they sourced her art but didn't even bother to read one tiny paragraph properly before they put words in her mouth, making her sound like a fool. What a shoddy work.
Some of these historically accurate videos are obviously not well researched but have then high production values (hiring models, lights, the shots) that it feels so frustrating. Talking about historical accuracy, have you watched Gentleman Jack? It features some solid 1830's fashion and it shows they were trying to be as true to the fashion as possible. (It's also a very good show). The intro theme shows the main character getting dressed and you can see her putting on a corset (over a shift!) and adding the busk to the front. Really recommend it!
I love the costumes and the costumimg featurettes on Outlander. they work so hard at being historically accurate and it's lovely!
Did you know that Gentleman Jack was a real person and that the story is based on her diaries, which she wrote in code? She wrote very explicitly about her sexual encounters and relationships with other women and was quite open about her homosexuality. She even got married to a woman (in church!) and they lived together as sort of husband and wife. Not sure if she was really a transgender male, but she was nicknamed "Gentleman Jack" because she wore male clothes and acted quite like a man. Very fascinating person either way and I'm glad their story is getting told! ^^
That show is so accurate the corset/stays actually give the actress gas just like if she was living back then (seriously she jokes about it in interviews)
@@JustSaralius no she was NOT transgender, stop erasing lesbian history, shame on you.

Why did they get rid of the crossed out word things
@ yes
The same video that thought that The Little Mermaid was taking place I Georgia also discusses Frozen and tried to seem knowledgeable and mention some “special” clothing item names in Norwegian. They mention words like “strumpor” and “skjorta” and make them seem like they’re particular clothing items but turns out they’re literally just saying socks and shirt. Very researched lmao
Jonna Yeah, I know the artist who did the Little Mermaid painting, and the Buzzfeed video completely misquoted her. She's well aware that the story takes place in Denmark, and didn't even go with 1840 as the time period. Clearly they just glanced at her painting description looking for numbers and capitalized words, without actually bothering to read. XD
It's especially hard to figure out what 'commoners' were wearing at the time, because usually only the rich or royal could afford to have paintings made. And even then it was such an occasion that they'd dress up up even fancier so they'd look as impressive as possible for future generations to see. And so these are the most commonly accessible reference pics. Highly staged and only showing the 1%.
It's like guessing an entire generation's fashion zeitgeist by one billionaire, instagrammer's pics.
“...to place the story in 18th Century Georgia.”

Why? It's the 20th century look! Buzzfeed isn't a lazy clickbait site that projects their narrow and/or lazy minded googling they like to disguise as a 'research'. if you wanna be my lover, you've got to do some 'search'.

me as a dane who loves history and literature: [visible confusion]
Honestly a 70s disney princess NEEDS to happen
*GEORGIA IN THE 1840s?*
I know right?
Exactly. HOW did she come to that conclusion? I think she was confusing it with Gone with the Wind (and then even that actually takes place in the 1860s).
Well, I mean, the accents were a dead giveaway.
/sarcasm (... just in case)
I spit my tea out I laughed so hard at Georgia
Georgia is also the name of a country. Perhaps that is what BuzzFeed confused? It's BuzzFeed though so....
Disney obviously take a lot of liberties and are influenced by the times that the films were actually made. Do they even attempt to get their films historically accurate? But the RUclips videos are another matter. "Let's explain inaccuracies with more inaccuracies..." 🤦♀️
One thing I think is cool about the history of animation is to see how the characters, regardless of setting, will always show some influence of the fashions of the time and place of their creation. Like how 80s anime characters have big 80s hair. Or how Cinderella clearly looks like she's going to a prom int he 1950s more than to a royal ball in the (unspecified time period) middle ages.
@@TheRachaelLefler Cinderella is more renaissance era tho.
@@TheRachaelLefler I also think that about the old Hollywood movies that played in past eras. For example Cleopatra with Liz Taylor. You clearly see the influence of the 60s in her hair and makeup
Disney cares more about designing a character that the audience will find pleasing. Which is a better route to go then trying to be historically accurate. Elsa's coronation dress isn't very accurate to what a real queen getting coronated would wear. The dress is far too simple. but its design is clearly symbolic in nature. It looks constricting and stiff because that's how Elsa feels. And that symbolism is more powerful than making something super historically accurate.
@@TheRachaelLefler honestly, l think cinderella always had a more 1870s/1880s vibe to it. Idk, thats where l always placed it.
I'm pretty sure the photo drawn by Azalea's Dolls is actually something made on dollsdivine (a website that hosts dress up games). Azalea's Dolls is the artist and creator of the game used, but the picture shown is a creation by someone using the game. And yes, some people have made some insanely talented things with dollsdivine games (especially if there's a drag and drop section, you'd be amazed at the level of creativity and straight up artistry these people use) but that's still someone working within the parameters of a dress up game. It's a beautiful and well designed game, but it's not someone who set out to create a perfectly historically accurate version of the princess from scratch. WHAT I'M SAYING IS YOU'RE RIGHT and I'll be checking out Rachel Boyd's video asap

What even are the clues in the Little Mermaid that say it's happening in Georgia?
It's like saying Moana is from Alabama x)
Her art is really nice tho :3
Right? lol
My poor national pride took a hard hit right there
i think they meant the eastern european country georgia, not the state. (although either way, they were wrong.)
Unruly Crow I know the artist, and the voiceover in that Buzzfeed video totally misquoted her. The only mention of Georgia in her original post is to say that the TIME period is hard to pin down in the movie because: "Grimsby's wearing a Georgian getup, Ariel's pink dress with the slashed sleeves subscribes to several eras from the Renaissance to the 1840s, and Eric is... Eric."
It was a reference to the Georgian PERIOD as evidenced by Grimsby's costume, and neither of the two locations called Georgia. Don't worry, she's well aware that it takes place in Denmark. That's just Buzzfeed for ya! XD
@@Artoveli that makes so much more sense,, thank you for mentioning that-
SOMEONE ACTUALLY USED AN AZAELEASDOLLS IMAGE, I CAN'T
BuzzFeed: this is *ACTUALLY* what Disney Princesses should look like
Karolina: *that is not correct*
The Little Mermaid: is a Danish story
Producer: G E O R G I A I N T H E 1 8 4 0'S
And yeah YT suggested me the first video (the one with the really cool music) like 10 days ago and without being an expert at all, I was like "HMMMMMM 😟"

@@Artoveli Thanks for giving more context, because I was really skeptical haha poor artist getting horribly misquoted. Buzzfeed gotta Buzzfeed I guess.
And? Disney's Nutcracker was moves to London for example.
I'm sure the people at Buzzfeed would make amazing videos if they weren't "incentivised" (forced) to pump out videos as fast as possible. In other words, next to no time for proper research
Yeah some of their videos are funny (that's rare but there is still potential)
As a fellow history and clothing nerd
OMG I related so much when you were talking about how centuries are like, a lot of years, and a lot of stuff changes, and you can’t mash it all together. I’m currently working on a fashion timeline for the 17th and 18th century, and it’s crazy because styles change way faster than people think. Would you unironically wear 1990s clothing today? No, just like how a lady at the end of the 19th century wouldn’t dream of wearing a crinoline and as a mid-19th century lady would be very embarrassed by the thought of that sheer, 1820s nightgown look that their parents used to don.
The " dumbing it down for a wide audience" drives me inssaaaane. You can be accurate without talking for hours. It also reminds me of travesties like" Memoirs of a Geisha" that first off was totally fine with mashing every Asian nationality together as if they were the same, but also thought traditional Maiko and Geisha makeup was " too out there" for general audiences...despite it being one of the most iconic and easily recognized cultural looks since forever.
I don’t think the traditional geiko and maiko makeup and hair were too out there for the filmmakers, I think the just didn’t find the traditional look appealing enough. I vaguely recall them saying something about how the traditional hairstyles didn’t look good to them from certain angles and stuff like that. But I agree, the inaccuracies in that movie drove me insane too.
Especially since the "photo drawn by Azalea's Dolls" is probably what someone else made with the doll maker.
scarylion.roar Yeah, that's definitely an online doll maker. My little sister was obsessed with that particular one for a while. It's not even a Disney themed one, it's supposed to be modelled after the Tudor period.
I remember seeing Claire Hummel's art a few years ago. It's so good! It's actually well researched and pretty accurate, but apparently those videos couldn't even accurately describe them. 1840's? ... wow.
Claire Hummel herself wrote descriptions of why she made each design choice for her historical princesses
Buzzfeed: exists
Karolina: exists
Me: Destroy them
Title says "Historically Accurate." Video features literal halloween costumes.
✨Meme mom says: whatcha know about sleep it’s historically accurate Princess time✨
I've never been this early ohmygosh,,,, I LOVE UR OUTFIT MEME MOM!
Azaleasdolls does design her historical dress up games with accurate pieces of clothing and patterns. It just all depends on how you design them.
i'd love to see your thoughts on the european princesses! particularly elsa/anna, rapunzel, cinderella, and aurora. i feel like it'd be really cool to have a fashion historian collaborate with a film historian to discuss this stuff as well.
The day Meme 👏 Mom 👏 makes a video and she HAS eaten breakfast already, I will be shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.
This is the problem with the infotainment sphere on RUclips.. it's cool that a culture has developed around short informational videos, but when they become a business requiring a certain output every week then they are focused on getting something out there rather than doing it right.
Absolutely love your take on this! It’s so true the historical inaccuracies are beyond inaccurate.
that 1900 spice girl look sent image in my brain that i cant remove right now >.<
i imagined them performing "wannabe" with that outfit .
Uhh, I needed this so much. Thank you. ♥
Also, your hairstyle is just on top, feeling fancy, might recreate it later, idk.
Don't forget your crown lol
@@jennyboldrini7330 Yeah, that's (super) fancy.
Say it louder for the people in the back Karolina! 👏As a history major in medieval Europe, you wouldn’t expect me be knowledgable for things outside of my era & location, so why do shows/media outlets only hire one historian!?
Omg thank you so much for actually crediting the artist amd also criticizing those who don't!! So many people don't just not ask for permission but then don't even mention the actual creator, which is especially horrible when they are professionals who make actual money off of it (they are literally making money from stolen artwork!) This is exactly the reason why I don't post my art online anymore.
Snow White should definitely sport one defining look from the beginning & end of the 16th century: Giant alien forehead, to show off more of that snow white skin. Beautiful
Now I want you to put together an outfit of a Disney princess in the 70s that it's based off the entire 20th century 😄
Buzzfeed: Historically accurate Disney princesses
Karolina: Hold my tea
_spills tea_
I'm cracking up a little because Claire Hummel definitely didn't set her Ariel drawing in Georgia. She mentions that film version of The Little Mermaid is hard to place in terms of a timeline because everyone is wearing different styles. The inspiration for the look is 1890s Europe. I can't speak for the accuracy of the illustration, but idk how the video you sourced messed up that bad.
Ah yes the prince of Georgia. My favorite monarch.
Them earrings tho👏✨
You pulled them off girl.....I couldn't.
I can't even describe how much I love the red lip, neon green earrings combo. We love a color theory queen. 😌👏👌
“So, uh.... see ya. “ I love when she ends her vids like this
Buzzfeed:we got historically correct Disney princess-
Kaolina: *STOP RIGHT THERE SISTER*
