If you've ever wondered what would happen if some of your favourite fairytale characters took a trip to the bad side, you have to check out artist J. Shari Ewing's collection of Disney princess mugshots. The series showcases a darker but highly entertaining reimageing of our most chaste childhood heroines doing some very questionable things.
In this alternate universe Ewing dubbed the Land of Fantasy, 14 Disney princesses have been arrested and placed in a holding cell for their crimes, including Snow White for breaking and entering, Moana for bribery and boat theft, and Elsa for assault and attempted murder.
But the best part about these mugshots? You can buy them! Available in Ewing's HaaapyAccidents Etsy shop, each Giclee mugshot ($15) is printed on archival textured watercolor paper with a hard backing to prevent bending, and features the fallen princesses drawn both in profile and straight on. Keep reading to take a look at Disney's innocent leading ladies recast as bad girls.
1 Belle
It's a tale as old as time. Belle's Mugshot ($15) features the beauty locked up for and breaking and entering and beastiality. Yikes!
2 Anna
Princess Anna's Mugshot ($15) depicts the Arrandale native doing time for trespassing, so she probably won't be building a snowman anytime soon.
3 Moana
Moana's Mugshot ($15) shows the strong-willed teen in the clink for stealing a boat, even though it was kind of the ocean's fault.
4 Mulan
In Mulan's Mugshot ($15), the warrior has been arrested for assault, larceny, and fraudulent misrepresentation.
5 Merida
She may be Brave, but Merida's Mugshot ($15) depicts the Scottish princess jailed for destruction of property, deceit, and illegal dark magic transaction. Spell cake not included.
6 Sleeping Beauty (Aurora)
In Sleeping Beauty's Mugshot ($15), Princess Aurora has been nabbed for spinning wheel shenanigans. Was Maleficent behind this tragic turn of events?
7 Rapunzel
She may have finally let down her hair, but in Rapunzel's Mugshot ($15), the wide-eyed Tangled star has been locked away for a bunch of infractions, including assault, bribery, destruction of property, horse theft, and false imprisonment.
8 Cinderella
Bibbidi, bobbidi, boo hoo hoo. Cinderella's Mugshot ($15) features the glass-shoed princess jailed for larceny, evading royal guards, cavorting with rodents, and fraudulent misrepresentation.
9 Pocahontas
She probably won't be running those hidden pine trails for quite some time, because in Pocahontas' Mugshot ($15), the free-spirited princess has been detained for treason and accomplice to murder. She's still got her mother's necklace, though!
10 Snow White
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to jail we go! Snow White's Mugshot ($15) features the "fairest one of all" incarcerated for trespassing and breaking and entering.
11 Jasmine
It's a whole new world for the Princess of Agrabah, because according to Jasmine's Mugshot ($15), she's guilty of petty theft and evading the cops. Where's Genie when you need him?
12 Tiana
Down in New Orleans, Tiana's Mugshot ($15) finds the hardworking waitress and sometime frog jailed for animal abuse (sigh), assault, and trespassing. Hopefully, she's still got room to dance.
13 Elsa
There must be frozen fractals all around the holding cell, since Elsa's Mugshot ($15) shows the misunderstood Ice Queen impounded for assault and attempted murder.
14 Ariel
No longer wandering free, Ariel's Mugshot ($15) features the rebellious Little Mermaid behind bars for fraudulent misrepresentation, surface trespassing, and black magic transaction. Please send gadgets and gizmos ASAP.
