Disney Princesses in Sin City

Posted by Dominic von Riedemann Aug 20, 2008

(Writer's Note: Okay, so it's not really animation, but it involves comics and classic animated movies so I should be covered . . . I think).

Ever imagined The Little Mermaid's Ariel shaking her tail in Kadie's Club Pecos? Ever wondered how Jasmine from Aladdin would look as a female samurai? Or Beauty and the Beast's Belle as the traitorous prostitute Becky?

Well, wonder no more. Young Northlake, Ilinois-based artist Curt Rapala decided to combine the squeaky-clean world of Disney Princesses with the dark, ultra-violent atmosphere of Frank Miller's Sin City. And the results are pretty freakin' cool. Snow White makes a vicious-looking Gail, Cinderella a smokin' Shellie, and Sleeping Beauty's Aurora a mysterious Goldie.

So now the big question becomes: which Disney Princess would you pick to portray the lethally beautiful Ava Lord?

Fun Fact: Acclaimed author Harlan Ellison once described the Sin City graphic novels as "going down as easy as a Drano milkshake." The Great Storyteller always had a way with words.
