You’d think the designers would hand our girls their iconic props: Ariel with a dinglehopper, Belle with her books, Cinderella with her pumpkin carriage. But nope. Sometimes they go full chaos and give them the very objects that nearly destroyed them. Daisy investigates…


  1. Snow White and the Apple of Doom 🍎 “Oh hi, yes, this is the fruit that literally put me in a coffin. Love that for me!”
  2. Aurora and the Spindle of Eternal Naps 🪡 Because who doesn’t want to cuddle the sharp object that sent them into a coma?
  3. Ariel and Ursula’s Fine Print 🖊️ Looks like she’s graduating from Villain University. “Congrats! You’ve majored in Giving Up Your Voice.”
  4. Cinderella and the Bloody Slipper 👠 The glass slipper is cute — until you remember the stepsisters nearly amputated their feet trying to cram theirs in.
  5. Belle and Gaston’s Antlers 🦌 Forget the enchanted rose. What Belle really wanted was a centrepiece made of Gaston’s hunting trophies.
  6. Jasmine and Jafar’s Snake Staff 🐍 Rajah? Abu? Nah. Let’s give her the hypnotic evil wand. Totally fine.
  7. Elsa and Hans’ Sword ❄️⚔️ Perfect for those winter wonderland vibes… if you ignore the whole “almost decapitated by your fake fiancé” thing.

✨ Honourable mention: Rapunzel rocking Mother Gothel’s grabby hand like it’s just another braid accessory.


Question of the day: Which “wrong prop” would you add to the list? (Bonus points for deep cuts!)
