# Dinosaur Disney Princesses Illustrator Laura Cooper's 'Velociprincess' is a Prehistoric Mashup By David Ingram | Published 2015-06-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velociprincess References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2015/06/22/disney-princesses-velociraptors-heaven/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedly) & [xpwebcomic](http://xpwebcomic.com/gallery/) 'Velociprincess' by illustrator Laura Cooper comically combines two iconic film franchises by melding together Jurassic World's fearsome velociraptors with several different animated [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1) characters. Cooper's Velociprincess project features illustrations of raptors dressed in the iconic clothing and hair styles of several [classic Disney princesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney) including Mulan, Cinderella, Jasmine and Snow White. The end result is an absurd, yet inspired re-imagining of two seemingly unconnected elements of pop culture. Cooper cited a lifelong fascination with Jurassic Park as her inspiration for Velociprincess and said seeing the velociraptors in the new film Jurassic World left an immediate impact on her. She says: "I kept thinking about how they just ate everything! All the people were getting eaten! What if they were princesses?! What if they were magical, wonderful, beautiful people!?" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Prehistoric Disney Mashup:** Combining two iconic franchises to create an absurd yet inspired re-imagining. - **Illustrated Crossover Art:** Artist mashups to combine two or more cultural references. - **Animal/character Hybridization:** Creating new characters by merging disparate animals and fictional personas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Bringing fresh perspectives to beloved franchises by combining disparate elements. - **Visual Art:** Exploring the creative potential of hybridization and pop culture references. - **Content Creation:** Expanding social media reach through shared cultural experiences across relevant audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Transforming Crossover Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformers-x-jurassic-park.md) - [Interactive Hatching Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys.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) - [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) - [Dino-Themed QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primal-menu.md)
