The artist, Sanesparza, has quite a following online: over 292,000 people follow his account on Instagram, while another 40,000 follow him on Facebook. Be sure to check out Bored Panda’s previous post about the artist’s incredibly witty ‘How To’ series.

Bored Panda reached out to Santiago to better understand his motivation behind the funny — and sometimes even shocking — drawing ideas.

“My inspiration for this series is my love for these movies, some of them are my favorite,” the artist explained the inspiration behind the series to Bored Panda. “So I like to think that I make fun of these movies, but out of love, that’s probably why it connects with so many people. They don’t see it as a critique, they just want to laugh about the famous characters we all know and love.”

Santiago also added that he usually draws the comics in chronological order, however, “for this second season of ‘If Disney movies were realistic’ I’m taking more liberties.”

Sanesparza has been drawing for a long time. Ever since he was a child, in fact: “Disney and Pixar were definitely the main reasons why I started drawing and liking movies in general, so I guess you could say everything’s coming full circle.

“I make stories myself. Maybe in the future, people can make fun of them the same way I make fun of movies,” Santiago mentioned his other comics called Virgin Institute and Everything About You.

While on the topic of realism in Disney movies, the company has recently begun a whole series of projects to recreate classic beloved cartoons as live-action versions.
