Artist Recreates Disney Characters To Show How They’d Look In 2017

There aren’t many timeless things in life. That’s why it’s incredible to think that Disney constantly cranks out timeless hits. Just this week, I’ve watched the Lion King and Toy Story – not just because they were on. I watched them because out of the millions of movies at the tip of my fingers due to a total legal movie streaming website (I think/hope), I couldn’t think of anything that would make me happier. This artist decided to focus on some of the most famous Disney characters from the 50’s through the 90’s and decided to add a Millennial-ish twist. Illustrator Tom Ward recreated some of our favorite characters and how’d they look if they were made today. Ward told Mashable:

“I always appreciate visuals that feel familiar but say something new. Disney characters are so iconic that I thought transporting them to our modern world could help us see it through new eyes, giving me an opportunity to communicate some issues I feel strongly about. e.g. circus animals, pollution and the ivory trade, using friendly and familiar visuals with a darker tone.”

They’re all very clever some funny some a pretty harsh reality check, either way, it’s totally worth a look.

1. Gaston gettin’ his gay pride on! Go, Gaston!

2. Maybe this could open the President’s eyes.

3. Robin Hood keeping fox hunters at bay.
