Disney Characters Confront Real World Problems in “Unhappily Ever After”

We found these pictures of Disney and Pixar characters in the real world via Creative Visual Art. Unhappily Ever After shows the classic animated characters superimposed in photographs that make a comment on real, upsetting issues. Bambi becomes taxidermy, with his head on the wall of a lavish house; several of the 101 Dalmatians are shown in a dog pound; Remy, the rat from Ratatouille, is used as a test subject and injected with a needle; and The Little Mermaid Ariel climbs up on a beach covered in oil. Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, is shown in a plastic surgeon’s office with her “flaws” pointed out by marker, while the characters from Lilo & Stitch are homeless and living out of a shopping cart. I think these images highlight the careless ways society sometimes treats both animals and other people. The images were created by Jeff Hong, who has been a storyboard artist for shows including American Dad and The Wonder Pets and who has actually worked on a few Disney films.
