If Disney Princesses Were Boys

We’ve seen a lot of modernized versions of Disney Princesses over the years, or ones that are drawn in a different style to the original. But etcetera.art on Instagram came up with an interesting idea of what Disney Princesses would look like as boys and we’ve got to admit the result is absolutely stunning. They don’t look like Disney Princes, yet they have clear Disney references that are instantly noticeable. However these, shall we call them Disney boys, are more modern, more casual and absolutely adorable, obviously. It’s kind of like modern boys Disney Bounding. Disneybounding, in case you didn’t know, is a more subtle, and definitely more modern fashion-forward way of showing your love for Disney. Unlike cosplaying, Disneybounding doesn’t require a full costume, but instead a modern outfit that is inspired by the character.

1. Merida

The male version of Merida looks like such a charmer. We love the ginger mop of hair, the modern bow and arrow, the general attitude that comes across in the facial expression that says he’s up for an adventure and wants to have some fun.

2. Mulan

Mulan as a boy looks sporty, fashionable and slightly mysterious. What is he up to, what secrets is he hiding? We love how his outfit is so different in style yet the color palette definitely peaks through and gives off Mulan vibes.

3. Moana

The artists says she’s not sure if this turned out to be a boy version of Moana or if it looks like a skinny Maui. We see what they’re saying, it really could be both, but we love it either way. This surfer dude version of Moana is the bee’s knees.
