The Pokémon anime has had a profound and lasting impact on both popular culture and the animation industry, not to mention its relevance continues to this day. The series has some pretty loyal fans who will not last to show their enormous affection for the series, such as creating groups, art or stories based on characters from the franchise.
An example of this is Poke Goffies, a group created on the Facebook platform where thousands of users share their love for Pokémon and very recently some beautiful images were shared that show us quite a few characters from the franchise with a completely new style.
Disney’s style takes over Pokémon
Disney has brought us over the years a lot of movies that for many of us have marked our childhood. Films such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Snow White became essential references for many children. From its early days as a small animation company to becoming a global entertainment giant, Disney has left an indelible mark on popular culture, the film industry, and the way we see the world.
It is quite curious how both Pokémon and Disney have several things in common, on the one hand, Pokémon enchanted us with the story of Ash Ketchum and his beautiful relationship with his partner Pikachu, not only did we love the friendship and companionship they both have, but we were also in awe of their world and the beautiful beings that inhabit it.
On the other hand, Disney tends to combine the magic of classic tales with innovative animation techniques, which allowed them to create visually dazzling and exciting worlds. Both Pokémon and Disney have given us stories full of color, magic and fantasy and today to see how both merge to give life and a unique style to different characters we love is wonderful.
Being able to see Charmander, Eevee or Mew in the pure style of a Disney character makes us feel nostalgic of when we were children and it is enough to see the images to come to our mind movies like The Aristocats, The Jungle Book or Bambi.
The style used in these illustrations shows us different Pokémon in magical scenarios, such as a lake, the jungle or a house, scenarios that remind us of the aforementioned movies. In addition, the bright color palette, the shadows highlight the different scenarios, as they mark the way in which the light is filtered depending on the place where the character is located.
The outlines in the Pokémon are subtle, the lines are fine and elegant, also the details that we can appreciate in each image are beautiful, because depending on the character the scenery changes to complement helping to complement the illustration. For example: we have an image of Lapras and we can see him in a lake at night, the blue tones play an important role and the details of the fireflies help to make everything around this Pokémon look magical, in pure Disney style.
We can say that making this beautiful crossover was a great idea, because Pokémon and Disney have played a very relevant role in the childhood of thousands of people and seeing this fusion is very endearing, both franchises have had an impact on popular culture that is indisputable and above all both are still relevant today. There is no doubt that they will continue to be part of our childhood.
