A trend on Instagram has seen artists from minority groups recreate their favourite cartoon characters using their own style, revealing the power of representation.
It started with a post by Autumn, with her #stylechallenge inspiring others to shape characters from Pokémon to Fairly Odd Parents to The Simpsons in their own image.
All of the artists are brilliantly talented and used hashtags such as #representationmatters to show how important it was to them to reclaim cartoons with a lack of diversity.
