Beware,
fairy tale fans — you’ll never look at the heroines of classic Disney
movies the same way after seeing how artist Jeffrey Thomas envisions
them.
The cartoonist and character designer has thrust maidens like Snow
White, Sleeping Beauty, Princess Jasmine, and tons of others into a much
darker, creepier world. As in, if the zombies from The Walking Dead
bit every single Disney princess, this is what might happen. Don’t show
these ladies to the kids, because they practically guarantee
nightmares.
The
drawings are unsettling and spooky, but we can’t look away. Nor can we
ignore the little voice in our head that immediately says, “Ooh, what a
great Halloween costume idea!”
So what’s it gonna be? Deranged Belle from Beauty and the Beast? Zombie-fied Ariel from The Little Mermaid? Killer Pocahontas?
It’s
a far cry from the usual “sexy” costume renditions of Disney characters
that get trotted out every year, and that’s a relief … kinda. Because
done right, a costume modeled after one of these babes is gonna scare
your friends silly.
