Familiar Tales, New Perspectives -- Retellings of Disney Stories

Disney stories are eternally popular.  We love the Disney versions, the original stories they are based on, and retellings with a twist.  This week, we're sharing some Disney stories told from a new perspective.  Here are a few of our favorites . . . .

Evil Thing by Serena Valentino
This graphic novel follows the rise and fall of the deranged and glamorous fan favorite, Cruella De Vil. If it doesn't scare you, no evil thing will....

Prince of Song & Sea by Linsey Miller
Prince Eric is cursed to die if he kisses someone other than his true love. Eric must find his true love, the one with a voice pure of heart or kill the sea witch responsible for cursing him in the first place.

Reflection by Elizabeth Lim
When Captain Shang is mortally wounded by Shan Yu in battle, Mulan must travel to the Underworld, Diyu, in order to save him from certain death. Moreover, Mulan is still disguised as the soldier called Ping, wrestling with the decision to reveal her true identity to her closest friend.
