The one thing that most kids cartoons can claim to own is a sense of wonder and humor that only an animated film or show can capture. Whether it’s the innocence of the hero of a Disney film, or the h꧙ilarious one-liners of your favorite Nickelodeon show, animated kids shows are notorious for inciting positive emotions and feelings when you watch them. Even as adults, we can look back on our childhood and gain a sense of nostalgia and heartwarming emotions as we look back at the cartoons🅰 that defined us and our lives. Yet the one emotion we never associate with kids cartoons is fear stemming from a sense of villainy.

What would our memories look like if our favorite kid’s cartoons were villains? Whether it’s an evil version of Wendy from Peter Pan, becoming a swaꦏshbuckling pirate, or Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable becoming villainous Dr. Drakken wannabes, imagining these classic cartoon characters as villains is no easy task. Yet thanks to the powerful imagination of some truly talented artists, fans have a chance to see what could have been had roles had been reversed and the beloved characters we all know and love turned out to have a much darker side.

That’s why today we are going to explore thirty amazing fan art photos that showcase clas🅰sic kids cartoon characters in a completely new and villainous form. Let’s jump right into the thick of it and explore what happen🍎s when good turns to the lure of the dark side…

30 💜 Hiro And Baymax

One of the more recent films Disney produced has to be Big Hero 6. Based on a comic book developed by Marvel Comics. The film version followed a young boy genius named Hiro who, after the tragic loss of his big brother utilizes his brother’s creation, a healing robot named Ba💞ymax, to become a crime-fighting hero to find the person responsible for his brother’s loss. Yet, what if his quest for justice had led him to revenge instead, and he and Baymax became much darker and villainous than his film version? That’s what this artist has brought to life.

29 Rapunzel

Disney’s Tangled is a more recent film in the Disney universe that followed the story of Rapunzel. Based on the classic fairytale character, the film followed Rapunzel’s journey to see the sky lights that appear each year on her birthday and ended up going on a journey of discovery instead𒉰.

She was the positive, upbeat hero that fans fell in love with instantly, bಞut what if she had stayed in her tower?

What if she’d allowed herself to become something much more villainous, perhaps even a demonic version of ♊herself? That’s what this artist shows us in this amazing piece of art.

28 The🤡 Little Mermaid

Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid was just a mermaid and princess who dreamed of seeing the world. Seeking the find a way to the surface world to find love and adventure, she made a deal tha👍t nearly cost her her father’s kingdom and her very soul. Yet, what if the optimistic princess had let her rage and anger at the sea witch Ursula’s betrayal consume her, allowing the cosmic force known as The Phoenix in Marvel Comics to possess her? You’d get this amazing rendition of Ariel as The🌼 Phoenix.

27 Princess Jasmine 🦹

A fantastic example of a free-thinking and independent woman in Disney films has to be Jasmine from Disney’s Aladdin. In the film, she seeks adventure, rejects her father’s plans for an arranged marriage, and helps fight the evil Jafar as he attempts to take over the city. Yet, what if she hadn’t leaned towards the fight for good? What 💮if instead she became humanity’s first known mutant, and in Agrabah became the mutant god-like being known as Apocalypse? Agrabah would have had a lot more problems than Jafar to deal with, that’s for sure.

26 Meg

This next piece of art doesn’t just imagine a villainous version of a fan💖 favorite character, but switch✤es the roles of that character with the film’s villain entirely.

Meg from Disney’s Hercules was 🌠a young woman betrayed by a man who found herself indebted to Hades, lord of the underworld.

Despite being ordered to help Hades destroy Hercules, she found herself falling in love witꦿh t🙈he hero and helped him stop Hades instead, risking her life in the process. Yet in this fan art, we see a much different Meg, who has become the lord of the underworld herself. This would have been a very dark twist to the story indeed.

25 💧 Stitch And…Grumpy Cat?

A huge fan favorite film in the Disney lineup has to be Lilo and Stitch. The story of a young girl from Hawaii and an escaped alien experiment who finജd the true meaning of family and love with one another and must fight to hold onto that family is one that fans all around the world instantly fell in love with. Yet, what if Stitch never met Lilo? What if instead, he remained the same dangerous experiment that he was made to be, and went on a destructive al🐎ien takeover of the planet with none other than Grumpy Cat, internet sensation?

24 Aladdin

I think it’s safe to say that in this next fan art photo, you ain’t never had a friend like him. Aladdin is well known for being the “street rat” who saves Ag𓆏rabah in his self-titled animated film series.

Taking on🃏 the might of th🐻e evil vizier Jafar and winning the heart of the princess, Aladdin was a charming and selfless hero of the people of the kingdom.

Yet, what if he’d turned out to be a con artist and a liar? What if instead, he was the city’s worst nightmare, using his charm and wit to💧 put himself in the prime position of becoming the next sultan,꧋ something Jafar could never have done?

23 Sith Lord Elsa 🐭 𓃲

When the world was introduced to Disney’s Frozen, they met a young Queen named Elsa who spent her entire life trying to hide her natural ice powers from the world and fled when she was discovered. It took the selfless and powerful love of her sister Anna to help her to accept who she was. Yet, what if she had never felt that love? What if her fear led her to go down the path of the dark side, and eventually use her ice powers to tap into the Force in the Star Wars universe? You’d get one icy Sith Lord.

22 💝 Sith Lord Sn🃏ow White

One of the least likely Disney Princess’s to experience the dark side would have to be Snow White. Despite being forced into hiding by ༒an evil queen, having a sleeping curse put on her by ingesting a poisoned apple, and nearly passing away in the process, she managed to keep her spirits high and find love and friendship along the way in her film. Yet, what if all of those trials and tribulations had left the beautiful princess broken and disheartened? Could she have been led to the evils of the Dark Side?

21 🦂Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear: Star Command. The galactic hero first made his debut in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story franchise, as the action figure who discovered the meaning of friendship and his purpose in life while befriending the leader of Andy’s toys, Sheriff𝓡 Woody.

Yet what if the discovery that he is no🍨thing more than a toy had driven the hero to villainy?

What if his anger at being so restricted in☂ life left him to become some sort of💝 madman?
