Artist Max Donovan has brought a delightful twist to our favorite Disney princesses by reimagining them as parents. While we all adore the classic stories of characters like Cinderella and Snow White, have you ever wondered what life looks like for them after they ride off into the sunset with their Prince Charming? Well, wonder no more! Donovan’s charming illustrations showcase these beloved characters navigating the ups and downs of motherhood, and trust me, they’re as relatable as they are entertaining.

Originally created to celebrate Mother’s Day, these illustrations have gained a huge following since then. Each piece captures a well-known Disney princess in typical parenting scenarios—think breastfeeding, diaper changes, and even the miracle of childbirth. Here are a few highlights from the collection that are sure to make you chuckle:

• Sleeping Beauty, Aurora, might be wishing for a little more than just eternal slumber right now.
• Aladdin’s magic carpet? At least it won’t get stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital.
• Poor Ariel—if only that baby could figure out how to use a dinglehopper!
• And is Elsa really sporting yoga pants? You bet she is!

Donovan shared these whimsical illustrations on social media, where they quickly garnered thousands of likes. With nine illustrations in total, he has also depicted Disney princesses in a variety of other scenarios, from Titanic to Star Wars heroes, proving he’s not afraid to get creative.

These motherly depictions add a humorous dose of realism to the fairy tales we grew up loving. You can almost hear Mulan advocating for gender-neutral toys or Rapunzel reminding her teens how she was stuck in a tower for years while they whine about curfews.

While these images are meant to entertain, they also serve as a fun “where are they now” snapshot of our childhood favorites. Although we may never see The Little Mermaid 4: Mom Escapes Back to the Sea for Some Peace and Quiet, these illustrations give us a glimpse into the chaos of parenting in a princess’s life.
