We all know the classic stories of Disney princesses like Cinderella and Snow White, but have you ever pondered what their lives are like after the grand finale with their Prince Charming? Well, you’re in for a treat. Artist Jacob Reynolds has brilliantly illustrated a series of images depicting these beloved characters as parents, offering a humorous glimpse into the realities of motherhood.
Originally created for Mother’s Day, these illustrations have captured widespread attention and acclaim since their release. Each piece portrays a familiar Disney princess engaged in typical parenting tasks—whether it’s breastfeeding, changing diapers, or even experiencing the trials of childbirth. Here are a few standout examples from the series:
- Princess Aurora looks like she could use a long nap right about now.
- And yes, that magic carpet is great, but it won’t help with traffic on the way to the hospital!
- Oh, Ariel, you poor thing! If only that baby understood how to use a dinglehopper.
- Too bad Belle broke the enchantment; an enchanted breast pump would’ve been a delightful addition.
- Is Elsa sporting yoga pants? It certainly looks like it!
Reynolds shared these delightful illustrations on his social media platforms, where they quickly garnered thousands of likes and shares. The collection includes nine unique parenting scenes, but he has also ventured into depicting princesses in other popular cultural settings, like Titanic and Star Wars.
These illustrations are particularly amusing because they blend the whimsical nature of fairy tales with the relatable challenges of modern motherhood. One can easily imagine Mulan advocating for gender-neutral toys or Rapunzel reminding her teenagers of her own upbringing in a secluded tower.
While these images are primarily for entertainment, they serve as a whimsical “where are they now” for the cherished characters from our childhood. We may never see a sequel like The Little Mermaid 4: Mom Seeks Escape to the Ocean for Some Much-Needed Peace, but these illustrations give us a delightful peek into the chaos that can ensue when toddlers invade a princess’s happily ever after.
