No. When you create a derivative work of someone else's intellectual property, you can't just say "I'm not profiting!" and call it a day. For some reason people think this is how it works.

Let's look at it with another IP. Do you think it would be OK to create a Harry Potter-themed animation without legal permission or licensing? Because it wouldn't be, and JKR would sue your pants off.

If you want to create a derivative work of an IP, you need legal permission before starting. Otherwise, the lawyers are called.
