What If All Disney Princesses Were Sloths?

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:34 pm, April 19th, 2013

We’d have really slow moving Disney films but they’d be ten times cuter. “A Facebook conversation occurred….I needed a break from finals….and this happened,” writes Phillip Light of this unique art pairing. Check out what Snow White, Belle, and (my favorite) Merida would look like as sloths. Oh and for those wondering, there’s nothing in our bylaws that says we can’t do more than one sloth post a day.

Disney’s Belle Will Never Leave Doctor Who’s TARDIS

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:10 pm, March 7th, 2013

Yesterday we were thrilled to find Disney’s Mulan happening upon the TARDIS from Doctor Who. Thanks to a reader we now get to look at this, Karen Hallion’s alternate version with Beauty and the Beast’s Belle as the focus of the Doctor’s attention. Just a few things I feel compelled to say: Belle would never leave a book behind, my only thought is she dropped this one when the Doctor told her about his library. Second, the only reason she’d ever leave the TARDIS is if the Doctor took her to The Library. Pre-”Silence in the Library” of course. It’s for sale as a t-shirt at Threadless if you’re interested or check out Khallion on Etsy to see a few other Disney women being curious about the TARDIS.

If you ever wondered why Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella were the only Disney Princesses to have fancy castles at Disney theme parks, you’re not alone. Finally, the Walt Disney Company are attempting to play catch-up with the ladies and have granted both Ariel and Belle their own special houses.

Disney Princesses Re-Imagined As Women Of Color

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 3:31 pm, July 30th, 2012

Despite our immense love of all things Disney, we wouldn’t mind if they added a few more princesses of color — while we can’t get enough of Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, and Pocahontas (despite that movie horrifically minimizing the impacts of colonialism), there is always more room for positive representations of women of color, especially in films that reach young girls beginning to steel themselves against a media culture that can be racist, sexist, and cruel. While we can’t exactly go back in time and influence Disney’s animators (though if we could, we totally would) we can at least squeal over these awesome race bent princesses, thanks to Tumblr user Lauren and Azaelea’s Dolls!

Amy Mebberson’s Pocket Princesses Should Have Their Own Saturday Morning Cartoon

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:30 pm, June 2nd, 2012

We’ve spotlighted a few of Amy Mebberson’s Pocket Princesses on the site before but we figured it was about time to give them their own post since it’s been brought to our attention the little gals have to go on hiatus for a while. If you’ve never seen them, you’re in for a treat. Hit the jump for some of our favorites!
