People enjoy seeing their favorite Disney characters conceptualized in different ways, which is what Dan LuVisi's Disney designs offer to fans.
The Disney design concepts showcase a realistic re-creation of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear and EVE of WALL-E. Similar to his depictions of the Sesame Street thugs, LuVisi offers a detailed background story to each character he illustrated with each character having a dark story. The ultra-realistic illustrations showcase some distinct Disney realness that LuVisi's depictions have become known for.
LuVisi re-imagines childhood characters to bring about a sense of dark realism that most people enjoy. The stories behind the concept art depictions should be made into actual movies -- it's definitely something I would see.
