Final Fantasy 7 Remakeis most certainly one of the hottest game releases this side of 2020 and its impending launch hasFinal Fantasyfans chomping at the bit in anticipation. Thankfully, we have some amazing artists roaming the streets of Reddit, ready to share some of their amazing art-work in the meanwhile. Something you may not expect though is to see your favoriteFinal Fantasy 7 Remakegang recast into characters from a show on Cartoon Network.
Redditcontributorand animator Junaid Chundrigar the Netherlands transformedAerith, Cloud, Barrett, Tifa and Red XIIIinto what looks to be characters you would find on much-loved shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, Power Puff Girls or my personal favorite, Ren and Stimpy. It’s certainly interesting to see the belovedFinal Fantasybunch looking drastically different but even so, there’s no mistaking who they are. I think my favorites areAerithholding the flower to the sky andRed XIIIwith his tail on fire. It’s plain to see that Junaid has a lot of love for these characters and it’s also refreshing, if not a little strange to see them morphed into some of our treasured Cartoon Network programs.
If Junaid’s work looks at all familiar to you then you may have seen his previous animations onBad Days, an animated series created by Junaid Chundrigar and Davor Bujakovic which features different fictional heroes and villains. Even though there are very little dialogue words throughout the series, Junaid’s animation and funny moments spoke volumes and even appealed to the late great Marvel writer Stan Lee. You can also check outJunaid’s Instagrampage where he showcases many of his wonderful and creative drawings.
