MC has given [popular Disney princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip) such as Snow White and Belle badass makeovers inspired by the '[Street Fighter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-fighter-menu)' video game series. Along with their new looks, each of these 'Disney Fighters' also got a totally new back story as well. Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast' is now a champion Muy Thai kickboxer while Aurora from 'Sleeping Beauty' is now a championship wrestler. Remixing iconic Disney princesses has become a popular practice as of late, with artists changing the picture-perfect princesses into everything from living incarnations of the seven deadly sins to gluttons.
