When you think of Disney, you always imagine those beautiful, deeply emotional fairy tales where everyone always lives “happily ever after”. Well, this Mexican visual artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros has just destroyed it for us. Specializing in pop culture, Rodolfo measures his viewer’s tolerance levels by putting our beloved characters in unorthodox context and showing them in dark, tough situations to explore the general theme of “loss of innocence.”
Creating such kind of artworks, Rodolfo "wants to raise the issue of what would happen with our classic characters if they were flesh and blood and were confronted by a frenetic and excessive world of fame, how many of them would prove to be susceptible to the excesses of drugs, alcohol, harassment or vanity?" Using his sharp black humour, the artist "captures images, once morbidly circulated by the media, and proposes a novel way of looking at them," states his website. "In his work the legendary heterosexual happy endings have been deemed outdated and have lost their exclusivity. The disenfranchised will finally encounter an ending they’ve yearned for, beyond any bias or phobia.” Scroll down to see them for yourself.

Hahaha this is definitely my kitten Freyja. She is so sweet and delicate, but every now and then she'll get a feral streak and attack! I was cutting chicken the other day and she smelled it and went crazy begging for some, so I took a little piece to give to her and she went bonkers and attacked my hand. Unable to manage her excitement, lol.

Yes that's great that a fictional cat just killed a life, how wonderful? Don't encourage killing,that's just f*****g cruel.

Yeah. Censoring nudity while violence is okay can really f**k up a society.

Loving it! Disney really should do a prince and prince story. And a princess and princess. All the LGBTQ+ combinations.

Really starting to love the idea of these two together. And is that the new cool Pope officiating?

And to think, the whole movie, all she was doing was trying to get her fix. No wonder she was so mad!

Goofy looks so goofy here and Donald seems to be ducking all his responsibilities. So sorry, I couldn't resist.

I'm feeling rather overdosed on this particular theme. Ditto suicide. But there are still some gems here.

They're completely irrelevant to the stories - that makes them really boring and pointless

I get the impression that the artist has serious issues with women. Just about all of the illustrations depicting women were much more violent that the ones with the men. Using Domestic Violence and Suicide at least 3x speaks so much hostility! I think someone really needs to see a therapist before his illustrations become reality!

I agree completely. I also wonder if the artist is homophobic, if thinks that showing girls kissing and boys kissing is controversial.

It find these images are pretty much just as Ben Smith mentioned: just made to 'make a scene', shock value and completely irrelevant to the characters, Disney. Nothing 'modern times.' The thing this timeline in history loves to plaster on their artworks, media, news, etc is the word 'controversial.' ..I've seen plenty of these titled controversial - when they should simply be called what they actually are: "C**p" and 'a waste of my time.'

I guess I’m confused why showing princes as gay is supposed to “ruin” my childhood? Homophobia like that is what ruined my childhood.

If the drawer and (f)artist appreciates it to throw mud at innocent ideals he should dare to draw himself into the inferno of hell and then present it.

I don't understand how realizing Disney characters were gay is supposed to ruin my childhood. That BP seems to say that here may ruin my adulthood....

Strange, some of my comments here have disappeared, and they were completely innocuous, nothing offensive. Oh, well, life is mysterious.

I disagree. boredpanda saw this crazy s**t from the same artist, and made this. And I agree it was something worth sharing, bit creepy but crazy enough that never saw it coming.... but it's satirical, lighten the f**k up.

There are some wonderful findings here, reminding us of older/original versions of the tales, criticising society and the constant need of people for heroes and princesses of some kind, forgetting they're only human after all, and the boring and puritan Disney moralities spread out in every flick (although there is some evolution notable). Nice.

So ...everyone today is either gay, or an addict, or has some sort of, fetish, or a disorder ...Interesting take on the world. No, thanks.

I don't even know, so many problems with this... the artist I felt just had no idea what they were doing.

While I think the overabundance of drug-related ones excessive and even boring, overall this is a great post. I totally fell in love with the Elsa and Rapunzel entry. Pure perfection.
