Animated children’s movies often draw from source material that isn’t particularly kid-friendly, but there are some stories that just can’t be sugarcoated. This is where artist Jason Porath (a former effects animator at DreamWorks) comes in. His “Rejected Princesses” series depicts women from history and legend who are either “way too awesome, way too awful, or way too weird” for a Hollywood greenlight. I’ve gathered a few of our favorites here, but I highly recommend heading to his blog for lengthier descriptions of these badass ladies.
