1. Pixar Avengers Crossover
When Brazilian artist Matheus watched Monsters Inc., he realized that Sully actually had many similarities with The Hulk, which inspired him to create this crossover movie poster.
In addition to Sully, we can also see the resemblance of Buzz Lightyear to Iron Man, Merida as Hawkeye, and Elastigirl as Black Widow.

Now, before you question why the Frozen characters are in the houses they're in, the artist provided an explanation. According to Anya, the artist, she placed Hans in Slytherin because he was crafty and cunning, and, obviously, he was the villain.
She then placed Elsa in Ravenclaw because Ravenclaws have no time for stupidity and ignorance, which was evident in Elsa's reaction to Anna and Hans announcing their engagement.
Lastly, Anna and Kristoff are both in Hufflepuff due to their loyalty.

3. Prince Ariel, Everybody
Ariel has always been the pretty little mermaid with flowing red hair and a seashell bikini top. However, as a man, we think she looks much better than Prince Eric.
Also, just look at how adorable the gender-swapped Flounder is!

4. Princesses in DC
Someone has created a DC x Disney crossover, and we must say, it's quite impressive. Princess Jasmine, with her strong personality, is perfect as Wonder Woman, and Ariel, with her sweet temperament, is also a great fit as Starfire.

5. Mulan in All Her Glory
While the Disney version of Mulan's fight scene with the Huns was amazing, this rendition captures her strength and fierceness in a way that the movie couldn't quite achieve. And we are here for it.

6. A Game of Thrones Among Princesses
Game of Thrones and Disney? Those two seem so far apart that we never thought they'd work together.
Sure, there's royalty, nobility, and all the fictional elements, but mixing such a bloody world with a child-friendly one didn't seem feasible. And yet, here we are.
Strangely, it works.

7. Robin Hood Becomes a Bit Bolder
This fan art perfectly represents the character, bringing out his true nature. He was a fighter through and through, and that is evident in this image.

8. All Glammed Up
Hannah Alexander, the artist behind these pieces, decided to do her own take on what she imagines these Disney characters should wear, and you know what? We're absolutely loving it.
No offense to the original animators, but these looks are far superior. In fact, if someone walked the red carpet in these dresses, they'd be the star of the night.

9. The Kind of Coupling We'd Want to Watch
Hades and Maleficent—they're a match made in hell, and that's what makes this pairing absolutely perfect. Just think of all the nefarious things they could devise.
They'd probably be unstoppable, and they might even score a victory for the villains for once.
Precia-T
10. A Realistic Peter Pan
Apart from the realistic nature of this iteration, what we love most about this fan art is the little splash of rebelliousness we see from Pan. It's not something you'd ever see in any Disney version of him, but it gives him a fresh new edge.
Sweetcidia
11. A Dreamy Time in Frozen
The artist behind this piece placed Elsa in a 3-D fantasy world, showcasing a more mature side of her. And it's a true sight to behold.

12. A More Mystical Side to Brave
The artist behind this image enjoys creating artworks where the hero or heroine of the story has their back turned towards the audience, looking into a pivotal moment of their story. We must say, their concept creates a more impactful scene to behold.
It's like that breath you hold before the climax of the story.
Westling
13. It's Just a Tale as Old as Time
Those of us who still remember the ballroom scene in the animated version of Beauty and The Beast know just how gorgeous that moment truly was. It's the part that showed they were really meant for each other.
This fan art not only depicts them in the same clothes from that scene but also evokes the same emotion as well.
Wictorian-Art
14. Disney Brings About the End
This is one of the most unique and original artworks we've seen so far featuring any Disney characters, and we absolutely love the detail and the story it creates on its own. It adds more drama and a serious note to all these Disney characters' stories.

15. Pocahontas in Manga
What we love about this artist's manga portrayal of Pocahontas is how the character's innocence shines through, making it a more accurate representation of the true story behind the film.
What's even more impressive is that it was actually the artist's first time painting in a manga style, and it turned out amazing.

16. These Two Worlds Were Meant to Be
We're not sure what it is about these two worlds, but they are the perfect match and crossover for each other.

17. Tiana and Her Weapon
Tiana was already quite the headstrong character, but this rendition of her as part of the Kingdom Hearts universe elevates her to a new level. She even wields her own keyblade and wears a suit.
She looks ready to take on some enemies, and she'll look fabulous while doing it.
Explosion
18. Under the Sea
Seeing how nothing changes in the love between these two, no matter which world they inhabit, we think Ariel from The Little Mermaid would be quite proud. They've fought for love just like her, and it seems that under the sea, they're winning it without any Hades to ruin the moment in sight.

19. The Hook That'll Haunt You
Captain Hook in the animated film appeared villainous but also amusing. This interpretation, however, makes him look much more terrifying.
He looks like he could really tear you apart with his hook if you say one wrong word in his presence.

20. The Beautiful and Powerful Hades
We don't know about you, but this female form of the god of the underworld looks far more devious than his male counterpart. She appears as though she could lure you in with her sultry looks and then suddenly tear your heart out if she so wishes.

21. Arendelle Meets Asgard
This fan art is not only a wonderful gender swap but also an amazing crossover. One of the genius aspects of this crossover is Elsa becoming Loki, who, if you've watched his background in the MCU, is actually a frost giant.

22. Sally Gets Dressed Up
Never in our wildest dreams did we think of Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas getting a pin-up makeover, but apparently, this artist did, and their fan art did not disappoint. Sure, it's a far cry from the Sally we know, but nevertheless, it's a lovely reimagining of the character.

23. Twisted Rapunzel
This picture is part of artist Jeff Thomas' twisted princess series, where he reimagines our favorite Disney princesses in horrific situations and also creates a story to accompany it.
In this narrative, Rapunzel becomes a rage-filled and vengeful young woman after discovering that Mother Gothel and the Stabbington brothers forcefully sent Flynn away, causing her heartbreak. When she learns of their actions, her anger drives her to kill Mother Gothel and one of the Stabbington brothers.

24. The Live-Action That Was Meant to Be
We all know that Disney recently produced a live-action version of The Lion King. However, no offense to the animators, but this version looks much more fitting for the film.
Edgar Gomez is the artist behind this artwork, and his work is so incredibly detailed that it feels like you're staring at the three lions in reality.

25. The True King of the Jungle
What we absolutely love about this fan art is that this version of Tarzan is more part-man and part-ape. It's an intriguing and more realistic take on a man who supposedly grew up in the jungle, living the life of apes.
StriderDen
26. Queen Alice, It Seems
This is one of the most beautiful iterations of Alice In Wonderland, and here, she looks like the queen of Wonderland. She appears more mature, more elegant, and more self-assured.
Additionally, we love how the artist subtly included the other characters from the film, like the Mad Hatter trailing behind her, the Cheshire Cat up in the tree, and the White Rabbit's clock below Alice. Every corner you look, there's just a delightful surprise waiting.

27. The Clock is Ticking Closer to Midnight
This dance scene was the pivotal moment for Cinderella in the film, and the artist for this piece has given the scene a more magical feel through ethereal lights and sparkles on Cinderella's dress.

28. Red Carpet Ready Princess
The artist behind this, who hails from Spain, has a series of paintings where they reimagine Disney princesses in designer gowns. Every single one of them is absolutely breathtaking in formal wear.
Her take on Ariel is stunning, as her hair beautifully contrasts with her dress, which is the color of the deep sea.

29. Snow White Sith
We've never considered crossing over princesses into the Star Wars universe, but since they're both Disney properties, it does make sense. Here, we have Snow White crossing over to the dark side.
Ralph Sevelius, the artist behind the work, even drew inspiration from Snow White's nemesis, the Evil Queen, for her look.

30. Disney's Spice Girls
This absolutely unique artwork was created by Isaiah Stephens, who reimagines Disney princesses and princes as late '90s and early 2000s pop stars. For the Spice Girls, he portrayed Mulan as Sporty Spice, Ariel as Ginger Spice, Megara as Posh Spice, Aurora as Baby Spice, and Kida as Scary Spice.
Cosmopolitan
These artists are simply amazing for creating these artworks. They are not only impressive due to the quality of the work but also because of the innovative ideas they've come up with.
Seriously, who would have ever thought of crossing over princesses into Star Wars or reimagining them as real pop stars, right? Very few people would have, and out of those few, even fewer would possess the artistic skills to actually draw a picture.
That's what makes these artists and the art they create so special. Which one was your favorite?
