Growing up and watching Disney meant that we all dreamt about Peter Pan coming in through our bedroom windows and taking us on a magical adventure through the night. Or is that just me? I always waited up that little bit longer, just hoping that, one day, he and Wendy would ask me to come along with them. It was always disappointing to wake up in the morning with no recollection of a late-night adventure.
Instead of that, maybe I should have done what this illustrator has been doing for the past couple of years. Luigi Volo is a designer from Naples who spends his time photoshopping our favorite Disney characters into photographs. And the results will make your hearts melt.
Here are some of the best ones. And I've even thrown in some non-Disney characters just to spice things up a little. Have fun!
1. Light it up.
