Poor little fish! Ariel’s wind almost killed it!
We all grow up with the idea that the princesses are practically from another world. They’re fragile, sweet, “ladylike” and, all in all, just a little bit too “perfect”. They definitely don’t have much in common with real women.
For this reason, the illustrator Paul Westover decided to depict them in a way that surprised and even scared many people: sitting on the toilet.
Is there anything more human than that?
We alllll go to the bathroom!
And thanks to this artist, now the princesses do too.
Have you ever wondered how difficult it was for Mulan to go to the bathroom when she was disguised as a man? Or how Sleeping Beauty relieved herself if she didn’t wake up? Was there was someone helping her?
You’ll probably find the answers to all those questions in these fun illustrations of the princesses as you’ve never seen them before: on the toilet and showing us a hidden side to them that everyone will recognize.
Here’s how those 6 princesses that inspired your childhood go to the bathroom:
