Vengeful Disney Vixens

DeviantArt Artist JoshWMC 'Princesses as Fighting Warriors' are Remixed

— June 8, 2012 — Unique
The DeviantArt Artist JoshWMC 'Princesses as Fighting Warriors' series adds a rugged twist to the delicate damsels often depicted in fairy tales. This collection of Disney princesses has undergone an extreme makeover that has turned them into revenge-filled warriors, fighters and vigilantes.

JoshWMC's fan art shows the lovable heroines in less-than-familiar situations, get ups and sporting severely tempered expressions. Although not intended to be perused by little kids, these illustrations may in fact empower young girls to be more than traditional Disney movies suggest of young girls. These depictions suggest that beautiful women can also be strong and independent, versus Disney's possibly unintentional emphasis of the fragility of its damsels.

Now you can see Beauty and the Beast's Belle sporting brass knuckles and engaging in Muay Thai, Sleeping Beauty's Aurora as a stone-faced biker chick and Pocahontas as an axe-welding warrior. All of these Disney beauties boast heavy machinery and an artillery of serious business weaponry.

Trend Themes
1. Empowered Princesses - The 'Princesses as Fighting Warriors' series showcases empowered princesses challenging traditional gender roles.
2. Female Strength and Independence - These illustrations challenge the notion that beautiful women are fragile and emphasize their strength and independence.
3. Rethinking Fairy Tale Narratives - The extreme makeover of Disney princesses prompts a critical examination of traditional fairy tale narratives.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can explore creating more diverse and empowered female characters, shifting away from traditional stereotypes.
2. Art and Illustration - Artists and illustrators can experiment with reimagining popular characters to challenge societal norms and expectations.
3. Gender-empowering Merchandise - There is an opportunity for the merchandise industry to create products that celebrate strong and independent female characters.
