Canadian digital artist Sakimi Chan?has?decided to put a gender-bending spin on some classic Disney characters. How do we see the most familiar faces of our childhoods differently if their gender changes? How different would “Beauty and the Beast” have been if the beast were female? Would “Beau” still find the beast so endearing? Would a male Ariel be as appealing if she/he is a “bad boy” instead of a rebellious young wisp of a mermaid? Would “101 Dalmatians” villain Cruella de Vil be sexy instead of evil if he were a well-dressed man??What are your thoughts?
