Illustrator Accurately Reimagines What Disney Movies Would Look Like If They Were Made In 2017
UK-based graphic artist Tom Ward has a lot to say about the current state of the world, and he's using the help of everyone's favorite Disney characters to do it.
In a new series of drawings Ward has dubbed "Alt Disney," he connects the storylines of several classic Disney movies to modern social issues, creating a dark but intriguing look at reality through the eyes of popular characters from our childhood. The creative drawings provide powerful commentary on water pollution, animal abuse, obsession with technology, pop culture, and a range of other subjects as if to point out that although the world of Disney classics is full of magic and happy endings, the world we live in has serious problems that must be discussed.
See how Disney's most beloved faces and iconic movies might have turned out if they were made in 2017 below and vote for the ones that are just too real.

"F**k this." ... "Yeah." ... "I used to be *famous* ..." "Big deal! I used to be KING!" .. "Shut up, guys!! Ain't helping." .. "Sorry." .. "Okay, so how're we gonna eat this prick?" ..
And then Jasmine would get sick of it and force Genie to make the house perpetually clean, and then buy a third gaming controller.
I'm pretty sure princesses have maids for that but hey they're playing video games so ... why the hell not
Jasmine's the only princess whose wealth is emphasized. She's basically a Kardashian. If anything, Aladdin and Genie would be doing the same thing they are now, but Jasmine would be chillin' in sweats (with her face beat for the gods) surfing Instagram in a big comfy arm chair.
no more like the homeless alladin would be still on the street begging for money never even having interacted with jasmine. Theyre the rulers BTW why would she be doing any cleaning you know the concept of maids right? sultans have them.
There actually was this one episode of the TV series where Genie introduced these two daredevil kids to video games because they're a lot safer than putting themselves in real life danger. Also when you think about it, isn't Jasmine basically pleasuring Carpet there?
This does not represent 2017, sorry. Women have made too many strides to put up with this.
Then she strapped the vacuum to the carpet and flew away like a cat with her a*s... uh, excuse me Caliph.
This would never happen. Jasmine had too much class and was too proud to put up with their BS!
Sorry jasmine would be right in the middle of the couch kicking their tails!
Yah right, because women have less rights than we had 100+ years ago?? Kay....
We have more slacker dudes than we had 100 years ago. Though I don't buy that she would vacuum. She is a princess and they have a GENIE! Why would anybody be doing housework?
Load More Replies... Uh. What? They're royalty, they pay someone to do that. Is this a jab at their race?
But no, not at all. Jasmin would just wear a niqab, and stab people in the street, shouting "Allahu Akbar"...
Real life would be even harder. Jasmin would wear a black bin bag, covering her whole face while getting beaten up 24/7. Or she just would getting stoned for showing her hair.
Technically, Robin would be "safe" as venery is still forbidden in UK ;p
I feel like some of these are just funny observations, they don't have to be negative (like the peter pan one). We can communicate with our loved ones at the touch of a button, we're not dying of horrible diseases as much as we used to, fox hunting is actually banned in the UK (so comic is old I think), and although we're far from solving the issue, ivory hunting is in decline as protections come in place (ivory hunting would have been much worse at the time of Dumbo as with the circuses). I get what they're trying to day, but I think I'm just getting a bit tired of everyone trying to do 'shocking' stuff with Disney characters...
Yeah, I don't get it. Most of things are 20th century issues which is like you said in decline.

Where are those jim crow crows from dumbo holding up a black lives matter sign?
Evolution, and pollution. Ha, they rhyme. Sorry, unrelated.

I don't feel like the first one is "dark". In fact a few of them are not dark. the writer of this article should have thought about his words a little longer before writing this. Number 5 and 8 had me pretty upset though
Artist dies really fun work....wish he would draw more....how neat!!!
Nothing great, nothing innovative. Overall blah. Plus most probably severe IPR violation.
