Illustrator Shows How Disney Princesses Would Look Like If They Pursued Careers In 2018, And The Result Is Awesome
We're used to seeing Disney princesses living under the sea or the tyranny of a toxic stepmother. But there are artists who view them differently, by photoshopping them into celebrity pictures for example. This time, we'd like to direct your attention towards the way Matt Burt reimagined them. The North Carolina-based graphic designer has recently created a series featuring Disney princesses as modern career women, and they look absolutely badass!
#1 Anna And Elsa: Climate Change Scientists
"Elsa, Anna, and the citizens of Arendelle know a few things about the effects of climate change. While their companion Olaf may love Summer, the sun, and all things hot, Anna and Elsa recognize what a rising global temperature might mean. They have dedicated their careers to studying climate change and presenting accurate, well-sourced information."

#2 Mulan: Title IX Lawyer
"After experiencing discrimination both personally and in the military, Mulan turned her sights on a law degree, graduating with the highest honors. She now fights for equality on university campuses, ensuring that men and women are given the same treatment and opportunities. With all the strength of a raging fire, she advocates for those who have faced adversity due to their gender."
#3 Merida: Two-Time Olympian (Archery And Equestrian)
"Merida competed for her own hand in marriage, so why not for a gold medal in the Olympics? Skilled in both archery and horseback riding, Merida competes for her country in multiple events. She's already won multiple golds but aims to add a few more in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo."
#4 Jasmine: UN Ambassador
"Jasmine has always fought for what's right and for change where it is needed - she's not a prize to be won. A natural politician, she now advocates for her country of Agrabah at the United Nations. One of her primary initiatives is protecting women's rights by ensuring that women are treated fairly across the globe."

Somehow I always thought of Jasmine as a human rights lawyer. She even looks like Amal Clooney.
#5 Pocahontas: Head Of An Environmental Nonprofit
"Pocahontas knows that we're all connected to each other and is committed to protecting nature and what is just around the riverbend. She heads a nonprofit organization committed to preserving and protecting the environment. Through a combination of activism, action, and promoting awareness, she fights for protection and sustainable use of our natural resources."
#6 Aurora (Sleeping Beauty): Coffee Company CEO
"Aurora knows how hard it is to wake up. After being awoken from her enchanted sleep, Aurora made it her career to help others stay awake - and what better way to do that than coffee?! Aurora is the founder and CEO of Spinning Wheel Coffee, one of the leading coffee chains in the nation."
#7 Belle: University Chancellor
"There was always much more in store for Belle than a provincial life. Inspired by her love of books and knowledge, Belle went into academia. After receiving her doctorate in education, Belle has risen to the level of chancellor at a major university. She is committed to affordable and equal education for all."

Belle has always been such an inspiration and I love Emma Watson as her!
#8 Tiana: Award-Winning Chef And Restaurateur
"Growing up and being inspired by her father's love of cooking, Tiana has always known what she has wanted to do. She now stands at the top of the culinary world, winning the James Beard Award and owning one of the most popular restaurants in the country. Every day she digs a little deeper, trying out new dishes and experimenting with new recipes and flavors."
#9 Cinderella: Animal Rights Activist
"While she has her Fairy Godmother to thank, Cinderella would not be where she is without the help of her animal companions. She believes where there is kindness, there is goodness, and it's her heart's wish to see animals treated with respect. She used her position of influence to found a nonprofit organization committed to promoting animal rights."
#10 Ariel: Pop Star And Record Producer
"Ariel has always excelled in music, having natural talent and a passion for singing. Considered the best of her talented sisters, Ariel took her skills and made it her career. She went multiplatinum with her single, 'Part of Your World,' and now both writes her own music and is a producer at her own label, Seven Seas Records."
