Never trust a princess...

Second City Network has just released the latest in their series, "Advice For Young Girls From a Cartoon Princess".

when everyone around you wants to kill you..."


The first two in the series tackled more recent iterations of princesses, Ariel and Belle:





Hilarious and sad.
