We've seen Disney favorites reimagined all the ways we thought imaginable: with body hair, as teenagers, as hot dogs, etc. U.K.-based artist Tom Ward took his now-viral illustrations (a series he calls "Alt Disney") to the next level though and threw said characters right into the middle of this historic year.
That means we find Ariel dealing with pollution, Cinderella dealing with a less-than charming prince, and more unsettlingly real situations. It's not all bleak though: Gaston and LeFou are seemingly out and proud now and they look super thrilled about it.
See some of the series below and find more of Ward's illustrations here:
