Photographer kills off beloved Disney heroines
You may think you've seen the endings to Disney classics like "Cinderella" and "The Little Mermaid" -- but you haven't seen them like this.
In these revised finales shot by French photographer Thomas Czaecki, Cinderella tumbles down a set of stairs, the Little Mermaid washes ashore, and Sleeping Beauty's fate -- sprawled on a bare mattress in a basement -- looks more like a still from "Se7en" than something from a child's fairy tale.
"So many Disney characters embedded in the collective culture as sweet and innocent creatures that I decided to get them out of their recognized fairy-tale frame and universe," says Czaecki, who clearly shouldn't be allowed in Disneyland Paris.
