Would it matter if Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" were Indian? Hispanic? What about Middle Eastern?

Racebent Disney, a project by artist TT Bret that flips the skin colors and cultures of some of our favorite classic cartoon characters, is posing those questions.

The Internet recently embraced Genderbent Disney, a project with a similar concept that changed Disney characters' genders. Bret, who was part of that project, was inspired to give the original idea a twist and post the outcomes on Tumblr.

To Bret, the project was mostly about having fun.

"I wasn't focused on historical accuracy or content, and I didn't have any political agenda in mind," Bret told The Huffington Post in an email. "I just enjoy working with character design and I'd love to see a little more diversity in Disney, and media in general. It was simply an exploration of race and culture from an artistic standpoint."
