# Adult Fairytale Mashup Art Artist Sam Tsui Turns Disney Princesses into Game of Thrones Characters By Ashley Noelle Lesiak | Published 2014-02-19 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-princesses-Game-of-thrones References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariellecalderon/disney-princesses-as-game-of-thrones-characters) & [djedjehuti.deviantart](http://djedjehuti.deviantart.com/) Although both the Game of Thrones and the [Disney Princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection) are technically about fantasy and escape, they could not be more different. What makes these drawings by artist Sam Tsui so interesting is not just the use of two well loved fandoms, it's how fundamentally different they are from each other. While both Game of Thrones and the stories about the Disney Princesses are the same, what sets them apart is that one created the classic narratives of fantasy, and the other smashed them down. Aside from the jarring juxtaposition of innocence and cruel reality, these characters just look so cool. Sleeping Beauty is Cersie, Cinderella is Catelyn Stark, Bell is Margeary, Snow White plays a sassy Shea, Tiana is Meera Reed, Jasmine is Ellaria Sand and Ariel is Melisandre. The two best are Repunzel as Sansa and Mulan of Brienne of Tarth, because they have so much in common with the GOT character they are dressed as. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fantasy Fandom Mashups:** Exploring the combination of beloved fantasy universes to create new and provocative art forms. - **Juxtaposing Innocence and Reality:** Overlaying compatible yet contrasted elements to challenge assumptions and generate insightful observations. - **Character Identity Cross-overs:** Interpreting the personalities of one character type in the setting of another. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment and Media:** Offering new revenue streams in terms of films, television shows, and art pieces to passionate and curious fans of a wide range of genres. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Designing apparel that blends beloved fictional characters and creates new fashion trends. - **Event Management and Organization:** Organizing themed events around these types of mashups to create new party themes and immersive experiences for fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Princess-Themed Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip.md) - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md)
