Who was the first Disney heroine who was given sex appeal?

Post by Cheshire_Cat »

I know some people might say Tinker Bell, but I don't really count her as a heroine as much as I consider her an antihero.

Some might also say Jessica Rabbit, but I've never seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, so...

I look forward to hearing your opinions. :)

I'd say the first Disney heroine that showed some sort of sex appeal would be Slue Foot Sue from Melody Time with her short skirt and pretty big chest. She's not exactly the leading character of that segment though...

Anyway, what about Ariel? Or were there earlier ones? lol

Perhaps Slue Foot Sue was the first; she reminds me of a slightly more wholesome Tex Avery's Red who was just oozing with sex appeal. I might also throw it Miss Emotion from Reason and Emotion but I'm sure most people wouldn't count her.

Ariel was consciously given some; if I remember right her creators stated that part of the character's appeal was her not even realizing that she was sexy.

As for Jessica Rabbit, I think she was the first character that was specifically designed to be nothing but sexy, right down to the very specific and unusual way they animated her breasts.

My six-year-old grandson thinks Tinkerbell is sexy!!!

I will have to agree about Slew Foot Sue from Pecos Bill in "Melody Time". She was a very beautiful woman, even if she was only a 2-D drawing.

She's maybe not the first, but I always think of Esmeralda as one of the most 'sexiest' Disney heroines:

I'd go for either Slue Foot Sue or Tinkerbell (I'd consider her a heroine). The Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the Blue Fairy in Snow White kinda also had a sense of glamour and sensuality about them, though obviously, they aren't heroines. ;)

You, my friend, are absolutely correct. You and I should be best friends because of this.

I agree on Slu Foot Sue, we can thank Fred Moore for animating her. In my opinon I'd say Jessica Rabbit borrowed some design from Slu Foot, mainly the hairstyle and eyes (I think).

Super Aurora: Haha deal :D

PheR: I was thinking of Meg and Pocahontas too! Especially Pocahontas, with the big lips and everything:

But the thing with Pocahontas is, I think, she's more a classic beauty, while Esmeralda is more 'hot'. :P

Definitely Ariel.

I can't think of one female design in a DAC prior to Ariel that looked like that. To be honest I'm surprised her design wasn't controversial back when The Little Mermaid was released.

It was at least a little bit, actually. I remember a few magazine articles complaining about Ariel's cleavage and lack of coverage, and how she was a bad influence to little girls.

Hyacinthe Hippo. She really appealed to the popular "1940s anthro chubby chaser" demographic.
