The selfie is getting an animated twist thanks to Amanda Whitelaw of Hungry Designs. Whitelaw is releasing a new set of prints featuring various Disney Villains and princes taking photos with their cell phones. The evil queen from Snow White and Ursula the sea witch from the Little Mermaid pose with a sinister seductiveness, while Gaston, Captain Hook and Prince Eric show off their abs and tattoos.
Each character's cellphone has a stylized phone case with an iconic symbol from their film. The queen's case sports a magic mirror, while Hook's has the infamous crocodile on it and Ursula's phone is decorated with a figure of one of her pet eels. Some of the men also sport tattoos of characters from their film. These prints from Hungry Design are humorous tributes to both the selfie and Disney.
