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.

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

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 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.

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

Nothing great, nothing innovative. Overall blah. Plus most probably severe IPR violation.
