1''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure: One Cartoonist's Dream'' is a duology of [[TheMusical fan musical]] videos that [[FusionFic fuse]] the characters and stories from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure the popular manga by]] Creator/HirohikoAraki with Creator/{{Disney}}. Specifically, songs from Disney films are given new lyrics from the point of view of ''[=JoJo=]'' characters and sung by the project's vocalists, who base their performances on the characters' voices from TheNewTens' anime adaptation, (or, barring that, the [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle fighting]] [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven games]]). Each song is accompanied by artwork consisting of the ''[=JoJo=]'' performing it traced from Disney characters who look and sometimes are similar to them. For example, [[SinisterMinister Enrico Pucci]] from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Part 6]] has his song based on [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney "Hellfire" and his artwork traced from Claude Frollo]].

3The result seems on the surface like a ridiculous combination, considering the parent franchise's completely opposing tones, but to many who see it, [[Memes/JoJosBizarreAdventure it just works]]. Both videos cover Parts [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood One]] through [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Seven]]. The song bases for each Part and who sings them are listed below:

35----
36!!Tropes found in the ''[=JoJo=]'s Bizarre Adventure: One Cartoonist's Dream'' songs and artwork include:
37
38* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
39** Formaggio, while not exactly ''un''attractive by any means, was a lot more gangly in the source material. Here, he's portrayed by the [[{{Hunk}} Hunky]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Prince Eric]].
40** [[Manga/SteelBallRun Pork Pie Hat Kid]] is rather cute compared to the {{Gonk}} he is in the manga.
41** Vocal example. Magenta Magenta is stated to have an extremely grating voice, not unlike (ironically) WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck. Here, he has a deep, smooth voice.
42* AdaptationalUgliness: Wamuu and Esidisi become goonish-looking {{Gonk}}s.
43* AdaptationalVillainy: Meta example: "[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Prince Ali]]" was not a VillainSong in its movie of origin, but is the basis for [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders DIO]]'s song in ''ver. VILLAINS''. And it works ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic spectacularly]]''.
44* AdaptedOut:
45** There is no mention of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureJojolion Part 8]] anywhere.
46** Lisa Lisa never appears in either Part 2 song despite being a major character of ''Battle Tendency''.
47* AmbitionIsEvil: La Squadra's song is all about their ambition to overthrow the Boss and take over Passione.
48* AndTheAdventureContinues: ''ver. HEROES'' ends with "The blood of justice / will always shine / No matter how many more adventures!"
49* ArabianNightsDays: ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' travels across Arabia and into Egypt. Both of its songs are from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''.
50* BatFamilyCrossover: The epilogue of ''ver. HEROES'' has all the [=JoJos=] up to Johnny singing about their blood ties and [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome how great it is to be alive]].
51* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted with [[WalkingShirtlessScene Kars]]. Amusingly, the canon universe contains infinitely more shocking things than male nipples, yet plays this trope straight with regards to them, when [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon the Trope Codifier of family-friendly animation]] generally depicts them.
52* CardCarryingVillain:
53** At one point, DIO calls himself "bottomless evil personified."
54** [[LegionOfDoom Everyone]] in the "It's Our House Now" parody.
55* CrosscastRole: Of a sort. Blackmore is portrayed by WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} and Johnny is traced from [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 Jessie]].
56
57* CastingGag: According to the credits, the same vocalist voiced Kars and Magenta Magenta. [[spoiler: The latter's [[AndIMustScream fate]] is a CallBack to the former's, even using the words "stopped thinking."]]
58
59* CrowdSong: Most of Funny Valentine's and parts of DIO's songs are performed by their entourages.
60* {{Disneyesque}}: [[CaptainObvious You think?]]
61* EasterEgg: There are a few Hidden Mickeys to be found in the artwork, such as on Kira's tie and Mike O.'s balloon animal, because [[MemeticMutation if there's no Mickey, this shit ain't Disney]].
62* EvilLaugh: Kars and DIO each indulge in one at the end of their songs.
63* EvilSoundsDeep: Every BigBad except the alternate Funny Valentine and, should you count him, [[spoiler:Doppio]], as in canon. Many of the supporting villains as well.
64* FanDisservice: "Fatty Valentine", portrayed by [[WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} Governor Ratcliffe]] with a HeavyVoice, seemingly getting ''really'' excited in the LegionOfDoom song.
65* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Kira calls Kosaku Kawajiri's boss to let him know that he'll be late for work the next day while all the other villains are talking over each other. For a short time, on top of ''that'' is Kars doing air guitar [[MythologyGag again]].
66%%* FusionFic
67* GratuitousEnglish:
68** The opening narrations for both videos.
69** Wamuu, Kars, and Esidisi call themselves the Pillar Men instead of ''Hashira no Otoko'' in order to fit the tune of "The Oogie Boogie Song."
70** DIO's followers declare him "King of [[{{Pun}} The World]]."
71** The ''Golden Wind'' heroes' song contains a lot of this despite all characters involved being Italian.
72** Combined with MoodWhiplash in Gyro and Johnny's song. Justified in that ''Steel Ball Run'' takes place in America, [[TranslationConvention so they actually are speaking English]].
73---> ''[[spoiler:Goodbye forever, for my best friend...]]''
74*** On [[VillainSong the other side of the same Part]], Valentine's "napukin."
75* HeavyVoice: "Fatty Valentine" in the villains' epilogue sounds noticeably different than the slender Valentine in the preceding song.
76* MythologyGag: Too many lines to list are references to details from [=JoJo=] canon.
77* LargeHam:
78** [[ThoseWackyNazis Stroheim]] only has [[OneSceneWonder a few lines]], but [[NoIndoorVoice what memorable lines they are]]. From the same song, [[EvilLaugh Kars]].
79** [[EvilIsHammy DIO, as usual]].
80* LegionOfDoom: The epilogue for ''ver. VILLAINS'' has all the {{BigBad}}s [[MST3KMantra somehow]] meeting up and singing about how the Joestar family will never be able to stop them now.
81* LiteralMinded: One of Ghiaccio's two lines references this trait of his.
82--> '''Ghiaccio:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext But I thought drugs didn't have legs?]]
83* LyricalDissonance: Given how wildly different in tone and content Disney movies and JJBA are, this was inevitable in some songs.
84** Jolyne's song is based on the upbeat and sunny [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} "When Will My Life Begin,"]] but contains references to masturbation, [[VictoriasSecretCompartment hiding money in one's breasts]], and sharing panties.
85** Johnny and Gyro's song starts out cheery and goofy, with [[MemeticMutation Gyro's Cheese Song]] and the fun times the duo share, but then takes a sharp turn into this when it becomes about [[spoiler:Gyro's death and Johnny saying goodbye to him]].
86%%* TheMusical
87* ObsessionSong: Much like [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney its source material]], Pucci's. His obsession is Dio.
88* OnlySaneMan: Kira just wanted to have a quiet night, but gets dragged into a party with all the other villains.
89* OnlySixFaces: Many, many male characters are traced from WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}, WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}, or WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}.
90* RaceLift: Few characters are the same ethnicity as their bases. Most obviously, the White French Polnareff is portrayed by [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Shang]], making him look more Asian than [[{{Mukokuseki}} most of the Japanese characters]].
91* RRatedOpening: Much like [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean its source material]], Jolyne's song begins with masturbation.
92* RecursiveFanfiction: [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKcxLTGo97fc5s7ZI8cdMXQ Riverdude Covers]] wrote and performed a song for [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion Part 8]]: [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney "Out There"]] [[https://youtu.be/nDtlf96yTdU with Norisuke and Josuke]].
93** [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzWddl31ItDPkEVlwI77C6A Empty Universe]] is making animatics for each song.
94* SparedByTheAdaptation: Possibly [[spoiler:Kakyoin and Avdol ([[AndZoidberg and Iggy)]]]], who are still [[MythologyGag the only ones to sing the line]] "even if our lives end here". When the Stardust Crusaders sing of parting at the end of their journey, these characters' voices are still among them, but the lines quoted from the manga of [[spoiler:Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff]] parting at the airport do not add them.
95* TitleDrop: From the epilogue of ''ver. HEROES'', sung by all the [=JoJos=]:
96--> Our bizarre adventures / ''are tied through our bloodline...''
97%%* VillainSong: Seven of them, plus a crossover.
98* YouDontLookLikeYou: You'd hardly know that the modified WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} in ''ver. VILLAINS'' Part 2 was supposed to be Santana just from his appearance. His hair is the wrong length and color, he only has one horn, and he lacks the blue gear-shaped marking under his eye.
