When we think of Disney<\/a>, our minds are immediately whisked away to the days of\u00a0our childhood and its association to great memories, lightness and happiness. But at times, childhood <\/a>for some\u00a0can be fraught with issues such as depression, abuse or anorexia. Therefore, garnering shock value by re-interpreting strong, beautiful images is a good way to highlight these\u00a0issues.<\/p>

For instance, Saint Hoax<\/strong>, a Middle Eastern artist, uses our beloved Disney idols to raise awareness of anorexia<\/a>, which is a rather serious problem amongst children.<\/p>

A series of posters depict our beautiful princesses and heroes, such as Snow White, Hercules and the Little Mermaid among others, skeletal in appearance with dull complexion, sunken eyes and worried expressions. At the bottom of each poster, the artist asks a simple question, \u201cFit for a princess (or hero)? Don\u2019t let anorexia eat you alive\u201d.<\/p>

The campaign<\/a> is targeted at children who are suffering with anorexia and other eating disorders. The aim is to encourage them to stop and to prevent any recurrence. As the artist says, \u201cI used Disney princesses because it's a visual language that my targeted audience would be attracted to\u201d.<\/p>

These striking depictions of our favourite Disney characters are both shocking and disturbing, which is exactly the reaction that the artist intended to evoke - the attention is grabbed instantly and may essentially urge children to open up about their own issues.<\/p>
