Rowan Stocks-Moore, a London-based freelance illustrator and graphic designer, who's passionate about book cover and movie posters, as well as design in general, puts his unique perspective on classic Disney movies.

The talented artist explored the undersurface of Disney's fairytale 'happily ever afters' and gave 16 of the most iconic Disney posters a minimalist treatment. In his alternative poster designs, he masterfully plays with darker tones and unexpected creative ideas that would appeal to adult audiences while still depicting charming plots that our inner children are so familiar with.

Most of the artist's stripped-down Disney designs offer more than they seem at first glance, so make sure your eyes and brain work together not to miss these secret gems in his cool posters!

    I love this. It really captures the raw brutality of the lives of the circus' use of animals. The fear in the eye of the black elephant says so much. One of the clearest depictions of fear and anger I've ever seen was in the eye of a rampaging elephant in an old photo. They suffer so deeply, and so unjustly. They are so much larger and more powerful, you'd think they would be the aggressor, but we have built cages and tools of torture to keep them enslaved. We can really be monsters sometimes. Elephants don't belong in captivity. Period.

    I thought it was the arm of her father at first! Except that looked weird, which was when I realized it was a mermaid's tail. Still was stuck with thinking it depicted her father, though.
