"When I saw people giving makeovers to Disney characters, I couldn't help myself! My main goal with my videos is to keep the changes in the transformation as close as possible to the style and texture of the original art," she told BuzzFeed.

"When more people began to anticipate my art, however, I knew I had somewhat of a responsibility to spend a bit more time researching different ideas," she said. Yudie's personal favorite in the series is also her most recent: Frozen's Elsa. "I love painting, and this particular transformation gave me the opportunity to add a bit more of that in. My edits aren't so much edits as they are me repainting the images, so there was a lot of that!"
