Marvel-Disney Deal Creates Excellent Cartoon Mashups Online

by Warren Riddle on September 2, 2009 at 07:20 AM


When news started breaking on Monday morning about Disney's purchase of Marvel, artists, designers, and animators immediately began creating mashups of their favorite cartoon and comic characters. The animation aficionados at Super Punch have thankfully eliminated extensive searching and surfing by assembling an impressive arsenal of mashup creations.

The collection features some obvious concoctions like Spider-Mickey, but a few mashups definitely stand out. Both "Disney Avengers" pieces are worthy of praise, as is the "Disney vs. Marvel Universe" selection, which depicts various Disney characters fearfully fleeing the heroes. There are some neglected characters and movies that need addressing, though. Two obvious additions would be incorporating Ant-Man into Pixar's 'A Bug's Life,' or Namor the Sub-Mariner into 'The Little Mermaid.'



Most lacking, though, is a representative from Marvel's female crime fighting forces. Forget damsels in distress, how about Spider-Woman beating her step-sisters senseless in an interpretation of 'Cinderella,' or She-Hulk dismissing the prince so that she could personally pulverize the evil witch Maleficant in 'Sleeping Beauty?' As for 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' Storm would never need a kiss from Prince Charming to wake up, since she would have either instantly electrocuted the Evil Queen with a devastating, unexpected bolt of lightning, or have just buried her beneath an avalanche of snow and ice.

While the mashups are definitely fun and creative, it still hurts a little bit to see Mickey Mouse and the Punisher sharing the same space. Farewell, old Marvel. What? No, these aren't tears. It's just a little dusty in here. [From: Super Punch]
