This variation on the Grumpy Cat memes feature the famed Internet cat in place of iconic Disney characters. Recognizable scenarios include Aladdin and Princess Jasmine on a magic carpet ride and the birth of Simba in the 'Lion King.' Artist Eric Proctor gives these new digital paintings starring Grumpy Cat more appropriate titles like 'A Whole New No,’ and 'A Circle of No.'
While Disney characters can usually be found singing and embracing the adventures in their lives, Grumpy Cat does the exact opposite with no enthusiasm at all. Grumpy Cat sports her disapproving stare in each digital painting of the 'Grumpy Cat Disney' series by Proctor, making the art a hilarious mashup of beloved Disney movies and Internet cats.
