Disney princesses have been represented in countless books, movies, parodies, song covers, and drawings done by their fans–but there’s one collection of Disney-princess-themed content that you may not have seen, and it’s just had a new addition! Cassey Ho, also known as Blogilates, has been a Youtube fitness powerhouse since 2009. Her Youtube channel’s high-energy Pilates workouts have garnered her a following of over 5.6 million fans, and she’s expanded into designing activewear called Popflex Active that’s also been a success. In 2019, Blogilates began a new spinoff in the form of “Blogicomics“, a social media account where small comics (drawn by Daniel Kordek) are created that depict relatable and humorous things about the life of a ‘fitness junkie’. Blogicomics has featured Disney princesses or villains several times; now, there’s a new Disney princess comic to be seen!
In this comic, the Disney princesses go back to school (appropriately, since it’s that time of year)! Ariel, Aurora, and Cinderella are the popular cheerleaders, their respective princes are the top athletes in class, and Belle is (somewhat predictably) the AP student.
The comic also includes two villains’ high school alter egos: Cruella and Maleficent (who was also featured in another comic previously). Kordek has portrayed them as “tortured artists”, whose passionate personalities and big imaginations would draw them to the art studio.
As for extracurriculars, Pocahontas is depicted as an avid volunteer, with Mulan running for class president while Tiana and Snow White focus on bake sale fundraisers.
As a humorous ending and ode to the Blogicomics fitness theme, the high school series ends with all of the princesses being included in a gym class workout (while Elsa and Jasmine “fly” by in the background).
As it happens, Blogilates has also seen success with some Disney workouts, shown below. Each of the Youtube channel’s “Disney” videos received positive comments from fans.
So far, there have only been a few Disney-princess-themed workouts on the channel, but Cassey Ho has indicated that there are more to come!
