Illustrator Recreates Famous Disney Villains As Princesses, And The Internet Is Loving It
Do we still hate them?
Disney villains are fantastic. Even though they engage in all sorts of bad and nasty deeds, they are undeniably charming. They are crafted so well that we simply love to hate them, and we do hate them intensely.
They give poisoned apples to innocent girls, take away voices from poor mermaids, and plot to usurp their brother’s crown… You name it – they’ve done it. But what if we could view them without the animosity?
Character designer Audrey Hopkins decided to take it a step further and transform famous Disney villains into princesses. She aimed to encourage us to see them from a different perspective.
She shares her work and creative process on TikTok, and the internet loves it. However, we are now left with mixed feelings. Should we hate them or love them?
