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.

What is he saying in his lie? Could it be something like, "But I really do love being your puppet and not a real boy"

Rainbows flag = gay pride. In the new Beauty and the Beast film, LeFou is established as having unrequited love for Gaston. It's mutual here

Headline: Flying preteen shot down by police. "I felt he was threatening me with all that glitter," said the officer. He was placed on paid administrative leave and given two tickets to Jamaica. EMT's dusted him of the shiny flakes.

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
Alexa Burno 8 years ago
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.
Eric Connors 8 years ago
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.

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...
