Your support makes all the difference.Now Tim Burton's best buds with Disney, thanks to Alice in Wonderland's £680M gross, you've got to wonder what other classics the studio will be begging the director to add his magic Gothic touch to.
He's already been pitched for an upcoming, live-action reboot of Dumbo, though there's not been any further development on when or how it may take shape. For now, then, let Moscow-based artist and animator Andrew Tarusov provide a glimpse into future Burtonised Disney worlds.
Tarusov reimagined Dumbo, alongside the likes of Bambi, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast; infusing his illustrations with Burton's classic animation style, prevalent both in the concept art for his movies and animation projects The Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie, and Corpse Bride.
"I love how Burton’s style looks vintage, chic, and cute all at the same time," Tarusov told HelloGiggles of his admiration for the artist's work. "His work is often marketed as ‘horror’ movies, but at the same time, it’s not a horror… It could be any genre."
"My main goal is to make viewers smile, laugh, and have a fun time when they come across my work," he concluded. "It’s meant to be whimsical and playful, so have a look and enjoy!"
Tarusov has created several works based off Disney characters, including a series featuring princesses and villains rendered as vintage pin-up models. You can see more of his work here.
