For those who are still buzzing over the 2016 Oscars, CollegeHumor has released a series of [parody posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad) that poke fun at the Best Picture contenders. Although the Oscars may be over now, the posters provide a clever way to keep the conversation going.

The 'If Oscar Movies Were Made by [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-place-hotel)' series from CollegeHumor consists of cartoonish movie posters inspired by some of this year's Best Picture contenders and snubs. Each poster takes on a critically acclaimed film from the 2016 Oscars and recontextualizes the story as an [animated feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexed). The posters not only feature colorful cartoon characters, but each boasts a kid-friendly title reminiscent of classic Disney films. For example, 'The Revenant' is reimagined at 'The Big Bear Adventure,' while 'Spotlight' is transformed into 'The Great Paper Caper.'
