Disney Characters Have Their Features And Styles Merged Together In This Artist's Fusion Series

A Dutch artist known only on social media as "willemijn1991" has inspired, delighted, and entertained countless fans all over the world many times over with her creative visions. She brings a wide variety of fascinating concepts to the viewer's eyes with her whimsical fan art, time and time again.

We have featured willemijn1991's art on many occasions, including when she transformed over 20 other Disney characters into mermaids like Ariel, when she gave over 15 Disney characters a sinister and "evil" makeover, and who could forget the modern fashion makeover designed for 25 Disney gal pals? This Dutch artist truly has a flair for fun, and she brings that sensation to every series she creates, including one of her most famous series that mashed up Disney and Hogwarts.

Disney artists and concept directors surely had big ideas in mind when they were crafting the characters we would come to know and love for a lifetime, but that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't thoroughly enjoy the creative ideas that artistic fans gift to the world. It's a lot of fun to see our characters in entirely new and magical ways.

In fact, in many ways, this helps us relive everything we love about Disney to begin with. You can see more of willemijn1991's work on DeviantArt.

Disney Princesses are divided into three main eras: The Classics Era from 1937-1959, The Renaissance Era from 1989-1999, and the New-Age Era from 2009 to the present. Each era of Disney Princesses reflects how social expectations transformed over time.

For example, The Classics Era features princesses like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. They are beautiful, passive princesses awaiting their prince to rescue them. The princesses of the Renaissance Era are often described as the "rebel child" princesses.

The "rebel child" princesses were a pushback and included outspoken characters who made decisions against their social hierarchy. Princesses like Jasmine, who ran away; Mulan, who joined the military; Ariel, who became a human; as well as Belle and Pocahontas, who rejected the idea of marrying within the expected social order.

According to Stanford Daily: "While the Renaissance Era improved on the Classics Era by making princesses curious about the world rather than doing housework for others, Disney still stuck to the motif of princesses needing someone."

The New Age Era Princesses are independent, many without a love interest at all, who display a strong work ethic and serve as iconic role models for the youth demographic their stories target. Mulan may be the strongest and bravest Disney princess of them all, but you can't deny the empowering nature of princesses like Merida, Moana, or Queen Elsa.

There are numerous fan theories about the intersections and relationships among Disney characters, including Disney princesses! You may have heard some of these theories before.

After all, it's unmistakable that we see Rapunzel and Eugene at the gates of Elsa's coronation, but some fans theorize that Elsa and Rapunzel's mothers are sisters "because they look very similar." Additionally, before Frozen 2 provided answers to the unfortunate and untimely demise of Arendelle's King and Queen, fans once theorized that they were Tarzan's parents from Disney's animated Tarzan movie.

Those same fans often theorized (again, prior to Frozen 2) that the sunken ship in The Little Mermaid, which would have likely been somewhere in the Danish seas, was actually Anna and Elsa's parents' ship. Not only that, but Frozen's writers fueled the flames of the Tarzan theory before conceptualizing the story for Frozen 2 by claiming in a Reddit AMA that Elsa and Anna's parents were on their way to a wedding and that they didn't die immediately at sea.
