Game of Thrones and Disney collide in this epic Disney mashup art. It's certainly interesting to see Daenerys Targaryen as an adorable and playful Disney character instead of her usually badass self. And that dragon she carries doesn't look scary at all, which might be dangerously deceiving.
The picture uses the computer animation style typical of Pixar to create one of the protagonists from Game of Thrones. This child friendly version uses great accuracy to portray the theme of Pixar, while still maintaining the look of Daenerys.
Disney mashup art is quite popular because of the juxtaposition it creates with series and more adult themed elements from pop culture. This crossover may even be foreshadowing as Disney seems to own everything these days.
