While not much is known about the German artist known as "SilverCatsEyes," it doesn't take much to know that she is a very skilled artist with a keen eye for color, design, and invoking a sense of whimsical magic in the viewer... especially when it comes to her Disney fan art! And I think it's safe to say we know a thing or two about Disney fan art.

Any chance we get to re-live the awe and adoration we feel for our favorite Disney characters is a chance we tend to want to take. This is something that fan art can undeniably do for us because even if you've seen your favorite Disney movies enough times to have every line memorized, you will always yearn for ways to re-live and experience these timeless stories anew.

When artists from all walks of life re-create Disney characters with their own vision, quirks, styles, and mash-ups, we have an unprecedented opportunity to see our favorite characters in new lights. This is arguable the biggest reason why Disney fan art is so beloved by Disney fans everywhere.

These whimsical illustrations by the SilverCatsEyes are like stepping straight into a dreamworld where fairy tales reign supreme, and it's everything a Disney fan ought to love.

1. Snow White and Prince Florian

2. Belle and Adam

3. Aurora and Prince Phillip

4. Tiana and Prince Naveen

"I am not the biggest fan of Tiana, she is to much "No time for fun!".... But Naveen on the other hand is the best!"

5. Pocahontas and John Smith

While Mickey Mouse is considered the top most Disney character of all time, he's only topping a list... a list that indeed exists. While that list may vary from person to person, some Disney characters have logical reasons for being considered among the best that are for reasons beyond our casual or even obsessive enjoyment.

For example, you'd be hard pressed to find a professional "best Disney characters of all time" list that didn't include Genie from Disney's animated classic Aladdin. ToyNK, who placed Genie #2, just under Mickey Mouse at #1, says:

"Genie is not just a magical being who can grant your wish, he’s also the ultimate icon of selflessness, even after Aladdin freed him from Jafar. He’s a massive element in every childhood and something that reminds us of one of Robin Williams’ most-loved performances in movies."

6. Esmerelda

"Actually Phoebus was supposed to be on this pic, too... But after finishing her pose I decided to leave her alone... It's better this way."

7. Elsa and Hans

"I REALLY wanted to draw Hans Everyone will hate me for that but he is the coolest character in the whole movie! Yeah, he is the royal a** that is trying to kill of the whole family... But come on.... He has 12 older brothers... It is not easy for him....."

8. Eilonwy and Taran

9. Rapunzel and Eugene

10. Cinderella and Prince Charming

"And nooo, her dress is NOT blue!!!!!! You will never see a drawing where I make it blue! This dress is supposed to be silver... And it stays this way! (At least, when talking about the "old" movie... The 2015 movie is a different thing.)"

Now that you've been transported to and from a place of whimsical Disney fan art, what's left to do for the day? Probably enjoy more Disney content, that's really the best way to get on.
