I don't even think they look that similar... Come on, tumblr. At least try to not be ridiculous.

Isn't Moana from the South Pacific? She's got a different eye, nose, and mouth structure than Rapunzel, one that resembles natives of the South Pacific. Of course she has big doe eyes, that's Disney's signature style.
Okay, this joke went over some heads, I'm afraid. The whole point is that the Tumblr post is complaining about the "white washing" of an ethnic character, when in fact that's a total lie. That's why there's the picture about getting your freaking eyes checked, and then about everything is racist. *falls to knees* I have failed so much.

Unfortunately, it kind of just looks like there's an ad for eye exams that happens to have been caught in the screen grab. I scan over ads automatically, I didn't even notice it until a second look after my response.
i think taking race into account is definitely important, but that part of this is disney's style. however, i might be totally wrong, as i am white and thus am probably less knowledgeable about what offends POC.
I don't mean taking race into account. I mean the style of everyone having big eyes. ALL of their 3D girls look similar because of Disney style, but they all have their own faces.
Done in a similar art style? Yes? Have the same faces? No. Just...just no. Unless you're SERIOUSLY generalizing here, there are enough differences in the size and shape of their features to tell them apart regardless color.
i feel like simple photoshop could settle this, photoshop the black girl to have the same coloured features as the couple others listed that shes "identical" to and you can see how not identical they are.
