What little girl doesn’t watch Disney movies and dream of being carried away by a handsome prince? For anyone older than the age of 10, though, a set of online spoofs offers a more realistic — and decidedly funny — viewpoint. The “Advice from a Cartoon Princess” series, created by YouTube user
TheSecondCityNetwork, provides spiels based on The Little Mermaid, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. However, these videos aren’t about poofy white dresses and happily ever after. Rather, they offer counsel such as, “Don’t ever talk to a man until he kisses you on the lips first. Then, as a woman, you’re allowed.” What makes these really funny is that everything they say actually reflects the movies; nothing is overly exaggerated. It makes you wonder why you ever thought the relationship between Belle and the Beast was healthy.
