When it comes to ruining childhood memories, these darkened Disney innovations are number one on the list. Disney has brought much joy and happiness to the world but also an opportunity for no-gooders to show a much darker side of the lovable world of cartoons.
Artist Nick Ramey chose to create a bust of Nazi Dictator Adolf Hitler with Mickey Mouse ears (a far stretch from the lovable world of Steamboat Willie). Another creepy series by artist Jeffery Thomas features Disney princesses in a much scarier fashion. Sleeping Beauty is no longer sleeping but has become a blood-thirsty zombie while Cinderella has transformed into a scarecrow that one might see in his or her nightmares.
These darkened Disney innovations should not be viewed until one is past the age of 18 or they might cause tears and sadness.
