Pixar artist remakes Disney princesses with Filipino clothes

Most kids particularly girls adore Disney's princesses. They want and dress to be like them.

Something Filipinos should be proud of, a Filipino animation artist named Edward Neibert III has rendered Disney characters in Filipino clothes.

He is also known as Edward Todd who remade 9 Disney princesses and a prince wearing Filipino traditional attire to celebrate the "Buwan ng Wika" in the Philippines.

Edward posted on Facebook his re-imagined 9 Disney characters:

Sleeping Beauty’s Filipino Prinsipe Felipe and Prinsesa Auring

Pocahontas as an Ifugao

Mulan as a katipunero

Ariel in a Filipiniana inspired wedding dress

Jasmine as a Muslim princess

Cinderella in a ballgown type Filipiniana

Tiana of T'boli descent

Snowhite in Filipino terno

Belle, in baro’t saya inspired by Fernando Amorsolo paintings

“I chose to make them Pinoy because I feel like our people are greatly underrepresented, especially in the Disney movies, as we Pinoys now have a much bigger role worldwide,” the Pixar Animation Studios artist told ABSCBN.

Neibert adds, “Pinays possess some of the most striking qualities of Disney Princesses — love for their family, positive attitude, and a certain reservedness a la ‘Dalagang Filipina.’”

“I think the qualities of these Disney Princesses as a whole is what makes it truly Pinoy,” he said. “I simply clothed them, but what makes them truly Filipino is how relevant the lessons they teach us today, towards becoming better individuals.”

Niebert’s Disney interpretations have been garnering thousands of netizen likes and shares.
