America's Next Top Model has been on the air for years, and there's no rush like watching runway queen Tyra Banks decide who's fierce enough to make it in the cutthroat world of modeling.  This season, Tyra's going beyond the borders of our reality and into the animated world of—that's right—the Disney Princesses. Who better to bring fab fashion and fierce competition to the screen than these iconic animated ladies? So let's take a look—if this season aired, who would be cut and which princesses would have what it takes to go all the way to the top?

For all those of you who think Disney is just for kids, I'm here to burst your bubble. The older I get, the more I realize that Disney movies were full of innuendos, inappropriate references, and downright creepy moments that went straight over my head as a kid (thank god), but which my parents probably appreciated. We love sharing the darker side of Disney with you, so here is a fresh batch of Disney memes that you definitely shouldn't show your kids.

Disney is the stuff of childhood dreams, but sometimes, it can have a darker and more adult-themed humor hidden within. We've shown you the inuendos in Disney movies that you can find if you look hard enough, and now we bring you these adult-themed Disney memes that you shouldn't show your kids. Welcome to the darker side of Disney.

We're back with another Disney masterpiece. If you've been following us for a while, you'll know how much I love seeing artists reimagine our favorite Disney characters into more modern, relatable, and realistic personalities. Previously, we've bought you how Disney couples would look pregnant, as well as what they would look like with realistic facial proportions. The latest selection shows how Disney characters would look like as real people. Instagram artist @toyboyfan creates incredible images of how the Disney characters we're all familiar with would look like if they were walking around with you and me. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Most kids don't take the best care of their toys. Sure, they'll get excited about a new Barbie doll, teddy bear, or lego set for five minutes, but next thing you know, the toys have been beheaded and can be found strewn limbless around the house. Perhaps kids would take better care of their toys if, rather than the usual stuffing or pieces of plastic they are used to seeing upon dismemberment, they were greeted with a skeleton and organs instead? New York-based sculptor and toy designer Jason Freeny reimagines popular children's characters and designs them with a 'realistic anatomy,' displaying them dissected down the middle. They aren't exactly available for mass production, but maybe this is the way forward? Here are some of his masterful creations, but you can catch more of them on his Facebook and Instagram pages.

Mickey Mouse — probably the world's most famous cartoon character — is a household favorite, but one that hasn't aged since his creation 92 years ago, in November 1928. And that's probably a good thing because it turns out, 92-years-old Mickey Mouse is creepy as f*ck! Artist Darick Maasen created a realistic sculpture out of clay depicting what Mickey would look like as his real age, and it's one of the most horrifying (albeit talented) things I've ever seen! Check out the creative process below, and you'll never look at Mickey the same way again!

Photoshop is a magical thing; a tool with which you can visualize all your wildest dreams come true, it's basically like a genie, but a massive tease. Speaking of genies, one guy has used Photoshop to make all of his childhood Disney dreams come true, and my inner child is so jealous. Samuel, a Spanish primary school teacher who likes to experiment with graphic design and photoshop in his spare time, has edited photos of himself to look like he is chilling with all our favorite childhood Disney characters. From watching TV with 101 Dalmatians to waxing Gaston's hairy chest, his creations are realistic, creative, and funny, all while invoking extreme nostalgia. Check out some of his best work below and tell me your inner child isn't also crying with envy!

By now, you all know how much I love artists who do Disney reimaginations. We've bought you Disney hunks with a plus-size makeover, and Disney princesses reimagined as Marvel and DC characters. This time, we bring you a true gem, and it comes in the form of reimagining Disney couples expecting babies! Yes, that's right, pregnant Disney princesses! The incredible artist behind these works of art has gone to painstaking detail to accurately depict what our favorite Disney couples would look like if they were soon-to-be parents and I'm in love! Scroll though for some utter cuteness and stay tuned for the baby reveals!

Our "Female Artist of the Week" feature is space for us to drive awareness towards talented female artist who creates incredible quality content. This week, I'm back with another Disney feature (yay!), with artist Holly Fae, who produces mesmerizing Fairytale and Fantasy inspired art. Among her beautiful work, Holly has started recreating Disney princesses' faces with realistic human proportions. In other words, getting rid of the alienesque features like the big eyes and tiny noses that all Disney princesses have for some reason. Check out her incredible work below, as well as how she created the whole process, which she filmed on TikTok.

You may have realized by now, that I love all kinds of Disney recreations. We've covered a few, from Disney princesses reimagined as Marvel and DC characters, to Disney hunks with a plus-size makeover Disney can't seem to catch a break. But I'm loving this new makeover, of Disney characters trading their regular clothes for street fashion. Artist Dave Salamanca has created these incredible remakes of our favorite Disney characters and I'm seeing them in a whole new light. Scroll through and see what you think...

Unfortunately, today's culture places a huge emphasis on men and women to have perfect bodies. Some people maintain that this message is internalized by children at a young age by being exposed to pop culture and media entertainment. It can be argued that cartoons such as Disney perpetuate this unhealthy narrative because the majority of the princes and princesses are slim and beautiful. But what happens when the heroes we're used to seeing start carrying a little bit more weight than usual and more accurately represent the bodies of the average person? Check out these pictures of Disney men with a plus-sized makeover and see if it changes the way you feel towards them. 

Everyone loves Keanu Reeves and most people love Disney princes. So why has no one ever thought to combine the two and create the ultimate Disney prince? Well, worry not because finally, the day has come, and honestly, Disney has never been so appealing. If you love a bit of Keanu and you're partial to a Disney prince her and there, you'll love these pictures of Keanu's face that Crystal Ro has photoshopped onto some of your favorite Disney heroes. As if he could get any hotter! You. Are. Welcome. 

The world of Disney is full of princesses, damsels in distress, and courageous male knights in shining armor. DC and Marvel comics too, are predominantly full of male superheroes, with a severe lack of strong female presence. It's not exactly the most empowering message for young girls. But what happens when we combine the two worlds and turn the Disney princesses into superheroes and show young girls that princesses too can be as strong as Disney princes? The illustrators at Bright Side did just that and the results are incredible. Check out the modern-day Disney superheroes below and let us know what you think!

If you didn't grow up with Disney, you didn't have a childhood. There, I said it. 

And although everyone has their favorite Disney hero, we all secretly have our favorite Disney villain. The ones we love to hate. Whether it's Jafar, Scar, or an evil stepmother, there are a few classic baddies who made our childhoods what they were. But no one ever really calls them out on the manipulative behaviors that we took as a given. Until now. Below are a collection of ruthless roasts on our favorite Disney villains. How many do you agree with?

Our world might have been turned upside down by coronavirus, but that doesn't mean that the world of Disney can't suffer too... or so artist AL, AKA aldoarts on Instagram thinks. The artist from Northern California who is known for his illustrations featuring Disney characters has created a series of what the Disney World would look like if it was struck by coronavirus and suddenly our favorite Disney characters are much more relatable. Check out his work below.

Did you ever wonder what it would look like if Disney wasn't just limited to our favorite cartoon classics? Well, wonder no more, because German artist Alex Pick has reimagined some iconic Disney characters into popular movie posters and the results are breathtakingly realistic. Somehow he has managed to pick the perfect characters and make them believable as the modern-day actors for whose place they have taken. Disney fans everywhere are loving his work, which you can see on his Instagram page, but here is a selection of the best.
