Disney re-imaginings are a common starting point for many internet phenomena, whether it's princesses as hot dogs or gender-swapped villains.
Artist Andrew Tarusov — already responsible for creating Disney princess pin-ups — has a new take on the idea: Tim Burton's visual aesthetic combined with the Disney classic movies.

Tarusov posted the new series on Facebook in early 2016. Within days, the photos had been shared 15,000 times.

The photo series was also posted to Imgur, and hit the top of the /r/movies subreddit with over 3,000 upvotes.

"I’m big fan of Tim Burton’s style and Disney movies," Tarusov told Tech Insider. "[The idea] just happened and I began to draw immediately!"
The bright Disney aesthetic is washed out for these more sinister images.
We love this slightly goofy take on the Beast: a hulking shadow with googly eyes.
The first one he drew was Bambi — his favorite of the bunch. "I think that he looks most authentic," Tarusov said.
"I tried to combine colorful and happy Disney characters with the Burton’s view," Tarusov said.
Each drawing took around one hour to complete, according to Tarusov's estimates.
And the whole series (10 posters in all) was finished in just one night.
When asked what his plans were for the next Disney re-imagining, Tarusov simply said "I have A LOT of good ideas ... just need time to finish them all."
