Blogger and graphic designer Elliphantidelli created this cinematic mashup superhero Disney princesses graphic for a banner competition. The image features various female Disney characters transformed into members of the Avengers team.
This fun graphic cleverly combines comic books with the cartoon world of Disney. The illustration captures the aesthetic look of female characters featured in various cartoon films such as Aladdin, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan and the Hunchback of Notre Dame with a heroic makeover. The various Disney princesses are sporting the costumes of several iconic members from the Avengers superhero league. For example, Pocahontas is dressed up as Captain America, Esmeralda is dressed up as the Iron Man and Nani Pelekai is dressed up as the God of Thunder Thor. Together these female Disney characters subvert these traditionally male superhero roles.
