Fairytales are nice, and Disney does a great job of delivering us the dream of some legendary characters. However, in real life, the same characters might end up having a less than happy ending or even existence.
Simba
Not all lion cubs become the rulers of pride rock. Some of them end up being confined in a zoo.
Winnie the Pooh
Things aren’t looking up for bears as they have less and less trees to rub their backs on.
Ratatouille
In real life, little rats don’t become the puppet masters of inspiring chefs. They often get injected with stuff so we can have medicine and cleaning products.
Belle
Not all beauty just comes naturally, although some might suggest that there’s nothing beautiful about going under the knife for something that completely cosmetic and has nothing to do with health.
Bambi
This happens quite a lot where hunters roam free without anyone holding them back.
Ariel
Oil spillage kills mermaids too.
Mulan
Swords ain’t got a chance against pollution.
Alice
You need some strong hallucinogens to come up with that kind of wonderland.
Chicken Little
Some chickens get to live free, some end up in a bucket.
Dumbo
Not all elephants get to fly away and leave the circus.
These mashups are all from the awesome Tumblr blog Unhappily Ever After
For a less depressing outcome, check out Disney characters as Hogwarts students or as university students.
