Another classic Photoshop competition from Design Crowd sees entrants reimagining famous partnerships with amusing results.
Known asSwapping Partners, this competition has famous fictional teams and movie partners being separated from their usual buddy and teamed up with someone else instead. The results are often amusing and certainly have us imaging what it would be like if it happened for real.
We’ve collected some of our favourites, but be sure to check out the galleries on Design Crowd to get a taste of the best of the rest.
The Lone Ranger and Boy Wonder
We’re not sure the Boy Wonder would be as good at tracking their prey, but at least his masked appearance matches that of his new partner.
The winner of the fourthSwapping Partnerscontent was crafted by Mandrak and shows the classically popular masked law man, the Lone Ranger being repaired with Robin instead of Tonto.
Flavor Flav and Oliver Hardy
We’re not sure the rapper would have been as popular on the silent move scene, but he certainly has the larger-than-life personality to be entertaining.
Oliver Hardy, the legend of the silent film era from 1927 to 1955 has seemingly ditched his good buddy Stan Laurel in favour of Flavor Flav.
We’re not sure the American rapper would have been as popular on the silent move scene, but he certainly has the larger-than-life personality to be entertaining.
Batman and Grommit
Although the Joker might not have been Batman’s partner, it’s certainly hilarious to imagine what might happen if he was the Caped Crusader’s arch-nemesis.
Easily defeated with just a nice bit of cheese.
Sherlock Powers
Fictional detective Sherlock Holmes has had his trusty sidekick and serious business partner Dr Watson swapped with the swanky Austin Powers.
We’d imagine this film would be more frolics than usual but certainly worth a watch.
Mario and Mickey
Mickey Mouse is his usual cheery self and is utterly pleased to be teaming up with Mario.
Mickey Mouse is his usual cheery self and is utterly pleased to be teaming up with Mario. The Italian plumber doesn’t seem best pleased about losing Luigi though.
Wall-E and Baby Groot
Imagine the inane conversations these two would have.
Imagine the inane conversations these two would have. Neither capable of communicating in the usual fashion, they’d certainly have an interesting time together.
Miss Piggy and The Beast
We’d imagine the Beast would get more than he bargained for by having Miss Piggy in his life. She’s quite the handful.
The muppet is certainly an amusing replacement for Belle though and we’d imagine this Jim Henson/Walt Disney crossover would be entertaining watching.
Pluto and Shaggy Rogers
Ruh-roh–RAGGY!!! Scooby Doo, the amateur Great Dane detective has been replaced by another famous cartoon pooch in the form of Pluto - Mickey Mouse’s pet dog.
He’s a pretty interesting fit to the gang though, as he’s pretty smart, also doesn’t speak English and is just as easily frightened as Scooby Doo.
Chris Tucker and Owen Wilson
This one is not just a partner swap, but also a film cross over. With Chris Tucker from Rush Hour fame and Owen Wilson from Shanghai Knights being teamed up.
Poor Jackie Chan has seemingly been ditched altogether. We’re not sure where the Shanghai element comes in here, but we are sure that Wilson and Tucker would make for a hilarious pairing.
Lady and the… Gromit
Gromit makes a second appearance this time slurping spaghetti with Lady from Lady and the Tramp.
Perhaps one of the most well-known animated scenes of all time, the romantic pups might have had a very different relationship if Grommit was the star. We hope there’s enough cheese on the meal for his liking.
