If Disney Villains Won…

We all root for the Disney heroes, but what if they weren’t so lucky come the end of the film? What would a Disney villain do to celebrate their victory over all that is good and wholesome?!

Artist and Disney enthusiast Justin Turrentine has given it plenty of thought and released his version of the “happy endings” five old school Disney villains would get if their plans weren’t foiled by the good guys!

Cruella De Vil

Maleficent

Ursula

The Queen

Cinderella’s Stepmother and stepsisters

Justin is planning to create even more drawing featuring characters from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and more! We’ll keep you updated as they appear!

Historically Accurate Disney Princesses by Shoomlah

I found these interesting art pieces on Deviantart last week. They’re by the fantastic shoomlah, who has recreated the princesses as they would be if they wore costumes reflecting that of the historical time period! I think they’re fabulous! A lot of research must have gone into these, and the outcome is certainly to a high standard and they’re very beautiful pieces of art.

If you liked these, be sure to follow the links and check out even more of the artists gorgeous art. It deserves so much more recognition!

Princess of the Day: Aurora

  • Princess Aurora, of Sleeping Beauty fame is also known as Briar Rose, which was her name in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
  • Aurora means ‘sun’ or ‘dawn’ in Latin.
  • She was voiced by Mary Costa, a professional opera singer.
  • Her personality traits are listed as kind, friendly, respectful, responsible, obedient, polite, poised, shy and geneous!
  • The inspiration behind her character was Audrey Hepburn
  • Her eyes change colour – the first being black, while she is with the fairies, then after meeting Phillip, they are violet.
  • She’s the tallest Disney princess.
  • Aurora has only 18 minutes of screen time!

But the ultimate question is this…

Blue or Pink?

I’d say blue! What about you guys?
