We've all seen classic Disney films- but not like this.
Disney characters are known for their vibrant colors and lively looks, while Tim Burton films are dark and feature characters with a bit of gothic flare.
Los Angeles based artist, Andrew Tarusov combines Burton's visionary style with Disney's typical approach to create a whole new world.
Tarusov's creative mind brought upon the collection "What if Tim Burton directed all Disney classic movies?" The series includes 10 posters of Disney's well-known films reimagined in the world of Tim Burton.
He described his process which started by taking pencil to paper and finishing the pieces by coloring them in with Photoshop.

Tarusov told HelloGiggles that the purpose of the series is to make people "smile, laugh, and have a fun time when they come across my work." He says, "I love how Burton's style looks vintage, chic, and cute all at the same time. His work is often marketed as 'horror' movies, but at the same time, it's not a horror... It could be any genre."

This is not the first time Tarusov has taken on the world of Disney. His portfolio includes Disney Princess Pin-up, Disney Villains Pin-up, and Cartoon Characters That Got Old featuring Minnie, Mickey, and Donald Duck.
