Gaming-Inspired Disney Characters

The Disney Meets Warcraft Series Blends Two Beloved Franchises

— January 10, 2014 — Pop Culture
The Disney Meets Warcraft series blends two iconic franchises into one. Although artists and illustrators have been re-imagining Disney princesses time and again for a while now, this is the first series to envision them, and other classic Disney characters, as the heroes and villains of the insanely popular online role-playing game. Executed perfectly, the Disney Meets Warcraft series has already garnered much attention on the Internet.

Created by Spanish artist LiberLibelula, the Disney Meets Warcraft series was not such a serendipitous occurrence. According to Neatorama, she "had been playing way too much World of Warcraft while watching Disney movies when inspiration stuck." Thus the Disney Meets Warcraft series was born due to two of her main interests, as least of late. Hopefully she'll create more.
Trend Themes
1. Cross-franchise Mashups - There is a growing trend in creating mashups of beloved franchises in order to appeal to fans who enjoy more than one type of media.
2. Character Reworks - Reimagining classic characters in a new light is becoming an increasingly popular trend, as seen in the Disney Meets Warcraft series.
3. Fantasy Crossovers - Fusing the worlds of fantasy can often create highly unique works that appeal to both diehard fans and casual onlookers, as with the Disney Meets Warcraft series.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The gaming industry can utilize cross-franchise mashups to appeal to wider audiences and bring in new players.
2. Art and Illustration - Creating character reworks can be a powerful tool for artists to showcase their talents and garner attention on social media and online galleries.
3. Children's Entertainment - Fusing fantasy worlds can create new stories that cater to younger audiences, increasing their engagement and loyalty to the brand.
