Step aside, "Toy Story." "Tennis Story" is here.

For decades, American animation studio Pixar has been a worldwide leader in family entertainment, producing some of the biggest blockbuster movies like "Toy Story," "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles" and "Turning Red." Meanwhile, artificial intelligence has been exploding on the scene in the arts and other creative industries in recent years, as creators are using technology to broaden horizons.

And now? It's coming to tennis. Some of your favorite tennis players, and other sporting superstars, have been reimagined as Pixar characters by World Sports Network and the power of AI.

First, there's Roger Federer, and his perfectly-recreated coifs.

Rounding out the group portrayed is Maria Sharapova, and with her blonde hair and steely blue eyes, looks as though she could stand in for "Frozen"'s Queen Elsa in a pinch.
