I Made Disney Princesses Look The Age They’d Be Today

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Isaque Arêas (Facebook page is Life, Art and Times) and I’m a Brazilian artist. I really love Disney movies, and I’m about to tell you the story of my artwork: “Before and After – Disney Princesses.”

I started this Disney drawing project in 2013. The first idea was a little bit crazy but “I love crazy” (if you are a Disney fan you will get it)! I was watching the Hollywood artists getting older and the people from movies getting older, and I thought “What if Disney Princesses were artists in their own movie? Why aren’t Disney Princesses getting older too?.” Then I started drawing, but my skills were not that good by that time, and I gave up.

Some days ago, I restarted the project. Why? I really don’t know why but I restarted it. So after counting the Disney princess ages, the drawing part followed.

When I was a child I used to identify myself with several characters and my first objective with this artwork was to show people – mainly women – that they can identify with a Disney princess even if they get old. I saw the objective being reached when people commented on the photos things like “OMG! She looks like my mom!” or “she’s my age now, and she’s beautiful.” Even older we can be beautiful, kind, strong, gentle, and smart like Disney characters – we can be children inside.

    Snow White was moaning the other day about how all the good roles and big productions are going to much younger, newly-invented characters. Call her a "legend" and she snaps, too.
