It's all in the name of inclusivity.
Ever wondered what your favourite Disney characters would look like if they were trans? Perhaps not. But now you can thanks to the work of an artist on Instagram.
In an interview with the HuffPost, the artist, who identifies as transgender but asked to remain anonymous, decided to start the project to make iconic movies in the Disney universe more inclusive. So far, they've drawn reimagined portraits of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Aladdin and many many more.
Some members of the trans community have criticised the drawings, claiming that they reinforce binary stereotypes. Others have said that the edits imply that makeup, haircut, and clothing just are gender-specific. Why not take a look and judge for yourself? You can head over to their Instagram to see all the portraits or check out a few of our favourites below.
Ariel from The Little Mermaid is serving lqqks.
Pinocchio is, in fact, a real trans toy.
We are 100% down for a trans adaption of Alice in Wonderland tbh.
Peter Pan looks hella cute as trans but we're going to need to see trans Tinkerbell too. JUST IMAGINE!
Mulan is by far our favourite. WERK IT HENNY.
