The images are meant to be sad and goofy as all of these tales are already rather ironic, thanks in large part to Disney's writers, so Goldstein brought the stories back to their roots in 'tragedy', and went further to bring them to life in our world, by giving them a twisted dimension of "reality", based on each 'Princess'' traits and /or obstacle in the original tale.
