We’ve seen lots of amazing Disney inspired cosplay over the years, both on social media and at Disney conventions like D23 Expo. Usually, Disney Princesses get the bulk of the attention, while the princes and other male characters get sidelined a bit. This is perfectly understandable, as the animated Disney films are one of the few areas in pop culture where women are front and center over the men. The ladies should get the bulk of the attention.
Having said that, the Disney princes and other male heroes deserve some love too, don’t you think? And thanks to the folks at Bored Panda, we’ve learned of one extraordinary cosplayer named Jonathan Stryker, who spent a week paying homage to the different male protagonists from decades of Disney animated films, even including Simba from The Lion King, on his Instagram account.
Jonathan Stryker not only nails the costumes of the various Disney fairy tale heroes like Aladdin, Flynn Rider from Tangled, Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, Hercules, but also non-prince characters like Milo from Atlantis and Tarzan. He nails their animated facial expressions; Stryker can somehow contort his face to accurately represent every single one of these characters perfectly.
Stryker has a decade’s worth of cosplay experience under his belt, and he not only creates entire costumes from scratch, he also does his own makeup. You can check out Stryker’s cosplay images from his Disney Week below.
