Artist Goes Viral For His Hilarious Take On Disney Princesses Battling Everyday Life Like The Rest Of Us
Disney princesses typically grace us with their flawless beauty and magical adventures, but one artist has taken a refreshingly relatable approach.
Andhika Muskin, the mastermind behind this imaginative twist, has unveiled Disney royalty as you've never seen them before: as real, everyday women.
Ever wondered if Jasmine could handle a magic carpet ride with the same grace as she does in the movies? Muskin’s got you covered. From awkward angles to morning hair battles, he’s captured the essence of everyday life in a way that’s both hilarious and relatable.
He depicts their struggles with hilarious accuracy, reminding us that even princesses have their off days. But it's not all lopsided tiaras and less-than-presentable ball gowns with this creative soul; Muskin also captures their essence in regular day-to-day activities every 21st-century human can relate to.
Have you ever had to brave a Zoom call even though your hair is a tangled mess? Or what about those awkward first few seconds of a FaceTime call that catch you from the worst angle imaginable? Well, Cinderella can now also relate.
It's a refreshing take on the lives of these beloved characters, proving that you and I may not be so quirky after all. I’m sure by now you’re all wondering, “But where does Muskin draw inspiration from?” His own daily grind, of course!
“It has become a personal way for me to cheer myself up and reconnect with my childhood," he revealed in an interview with Buzzfeed.
And cheer us up it does! With nearly half a million followers, Muskin's art strikes a chord with people worldwide. After all, who hasn’t had a moment of existential crisis while staring at their unflattering reflection on a video call?
