We're all familiar with Disney characters by now. Most of us probably have a love-hate relationship with these beloved children's cartoons and movies. Many artists enjoy taking these iconic characters and placing them in various situations, such as reimagining famous movie posters or giving them a more human touch.

One such artist, known as Onefairyfail on Instagram, has created a series titled 'Phone Fairy Fails', where they explore what would happen if Disney characters had access to phones and other modern technology.

I simply adore creating humorous scenes, especially ones inspired by real-life situations that I can relate to. The idea for this series struck me while scrolling through social media, seeing all those selfies with face filters. From there, all sorts of other scenarios just started popping into my head."

The rest of the FairyFAILS (that's what I call my creations) came to life while I was watching 'Dirty Dancing' and realized how many iconic movies today's generation may have missed out on. I thought that blending famous scenes from these movies and shows with beloved cartoon characters in a humorous manner could both honor these classics and encourage people to watch them. Plus, it might stir up some nostalgic feelings for others."

When asked about the inspiration behind her edits, the artist shared, "When I began, I already had an active account called Omerika, where I'm recognized for my surreal visual art. However, while my Omerika pieces often carry a melancholic tone, with the onset of the pandemic and the seemingly endless quarantines, I felt compelled to explore the lighter and more humorous side of my creativity. So, I made the decision to shift my focus to my OneFairyFAIL account during this time."

"My entire concept behind FairyFAILS revolves around paying homage to classic cult movies and TV shows that hold a special place in my heart. As a huge fan of memes and cartoons, I found inspiration in merging beloved cartoons with iconic classic movies. Initially, my FairyFAILS focused solely on this concept.

However, one day, after witnessing numerous videos of individuals attempting the 'DIY bangs' trend during quarantine, I had a lightbulb moment. I imagined Princess Ariel giving herself bangs, and from there, my FairyFAILS expanded to include various other concepts and scenarios, not just reenactments of famous movie and TV show scenes."

She also revealed the source of her inspiration: "I always draw ideas from either personal experiences or things I come across while scrolling through social media that resonate with me."

Onefairyfail shared her journey of learning to create these edits and using Photoshop: "I originally trained as a graphic designer, so I gained the basics of Photoshop during my graphic design studies. I then expanded my knowledge independently."

Regarding her favorite aspect of creating this type of art and the challenges she faces, she said: "My favorite part is bringing my ideas to life visually, especially when they align perfectly with what I envisioned.

The most challenging aspect is when an idea loses its appeal or when the editing process becomes messy, deviating from my original vision. At times, I find myself either changing the concept entirely or starting the edit from scratch. I can be quite the perfectionist." She mentioned that her edits can become intricate and may take several days to complete.
