To celebrate the release of Wreck it Ralph in the UK markets, [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-place-hotel) has created the 8-bit Lane [street art exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light) in London, England.

The animated film is being commemorated through a variety of quirky [pixel art sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-de-guzman-1) situated in some of the most unexpected locations. Different living things and objects that are typically seen on the streets are recreated into sculpture form. Pigeons, cabs and even a tree give off the appearance as if the streets of London are slowly turning into the gaming reality world that the movie is based off of. Disney's film production sculptor Aden Hynes was the person behind these unexpected yet impressive sculptures.

Even if you aren't a fan of the Disney franchise, the 8-bit Lane is still a very interesting installation to check out.
