Yes! I fully expected to go "ugh another disney post" but these were so perfect.

Lion King was already done.

Diverse? Really? They'll all white!

Idk, I'm mixed race, but I really don't feel super offended by this. While I agree we should get more minority representation in the media (and the original siamese cat portrayal in the movie is racist as hell), I think this case is a bit different... I think the artist gave the human versions race based on where the species or breed of the animal originated. For example, Rita is supposed to be a Saluki, which first appeared somewhere around Egypt, so the artist gave her dark skin. But, a lot of the animals shown here originated in Europe (poodle, bloodhound, Scottish terrier). I'm guessing that if there were more animals that had originated from outside of Europe, then we'd see a lot more diversity. The only exception, it seems, is the aristocats, who are supposed to be Turkish angoras, so it could've been cool if they were Turkish, but otherwise, it would seem this is what the artist was doing.

But fun depictions for everything else.
