2. Mulan & Her Reflection

On why he chose Mulan's reflection instead of Shang, Chris said:

"My latest series is mostly Disney couple portraits, two separate images facing each other... I love the romance. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have Mulan and her reflection. A powerful statement."

3. Milo & Kida from Atlantis

4. Princess Anna and Kristoff

Kristoff is the BEST Disney prince and you can't change my mind.

5. Carl & Ellie from Up

Chris said that Carl and Ellie's love story is, "probably one of the most poignant love stories from Disney, let alone told in 5 minutes!"

6. Pongo and Perdita from 101 Dalmations

Chris made sure that the frames around this pupper couple includes 101 paw prints.

7. Belle and Beast from Beauty and the Beast

Chris said,"I love Beast for his unique character arc .. flawed and learning, like all of us."

8. Cinderella & Prince Charming from Cinderella

9. Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas

I'm so glad this is available on Disney+!

11. Elsa and Anna from Frozen

Chris said:

"Someone suggested I draw Elsa across from Anna as an alternative option... great idea! It’s a sister thing."

12. Wall-E and Eve from WALL-E

Chris is a big fan of the endearing film:

"WALL-E is hands down my favorite of the Disney Pixar films. So adorable yet such a poignant commentary on where the world is headed. I’ve watched it probably a dozen times."

13. Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty

On Prince Phillip, Chris said, "Prince Phillip is such an OG prince, and arguably one of the prince’s to put in the most effort!"

And regarding the classic princess herself, Aurora, he said: "Sleeping Beauty is classic Disney animation at its best, such gorgeous design that really defined so much of Disney’s aesthetic."

14. Wendy and Peter Pan

15. Tiana and Naveen from The Princess and the Frog

16. Pocahontas and John Smith

Chris explained his feelings when he shared his portraits of Pocahontas and John Smith:

"I loved the movie POCAHONTAS... the music, the animation, how powerful her character felt to me.... but now as an adult and in 2020, it does seem like a mistake to take a historical figure and appropriate the story. Different times for sure. Still a movie that makes me cry!"

18. Esmerelda and Phoebus from The Hunchback of Notre Dame

19. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl

How could you do a Disney series without this dynamic duo? You can't!
