It's no secret that many artists out there love to remake/reimagine famous characters, movies, and TV shows. We have seen reimagined Disney characters, Marvel, Harry Potter, and many others. Many artists modernize them, illustrate them in all sorts of situations. What if this character was there? What if this movie was set at a different time?
Well, the artist Tyron Handy decided to join in. He took the characters we all know and love and changed their skin color. In a previous article on Bored Panda, Tyron mentioned that he never felt represented in cartoons, so with this project, his goal is to raise awareness of how misrepresented black people are in cartoons and TV shows: that the shows that do feature black people are filled with stereotypes and racial discrimination, and they're usually just the 'best friend' to the main character.
The artist was faced with all sorts of reactions, with some saying that what he's doing is wrong, that he's just 'keeping racism alive.' However, many are agreeing that this project shows that there is a lack of representation of black people in media. They are happy someone is addressing these issues and support Tyron wholeheartedly, saying that kids would benefit from seeing themselves represented in media in a better way. A lot of people are even asking Tyron to do his own animated series.
