Matt not only masterfully repainted them, but assigned them roles we definitely see them loving. Scroll down to meet the bosses you’d like to work for and let us know what you think in the comments.

One of her primary initiatives is protecting women’s rights by ensuring that women are treated fairly across the globe.”
Moana: Navy Officer
“The sea has always called to Moana. What it taught her is that she is a natural leader, guiding her people and returning them to their ancient voyaging traditions. Using these strengths, Moana has excelled in the Navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander. She has been awarded multiple honors during her service, such as two Navy Achievement Medals and a National Defense Service Medal. With such a successful start, there’s no telling how far she’ll go in her career.”
