Arthouse Disney
by Friends of Disney DispatchDisney images inspire artistic interpretation. That's a mouthful! It means that the web teems with artwork of Disney but not by Disney. The artists of Arthouse Disney are hand-picked for their creative, sometimes quirky, but always masterful interpretations of classic Disney art, iconic Disney scenes, or familiar Disney characters. Each column has an introduction by Bob McLain and often a few words from the artist. But it's not the words that matter so much here as it is the pictures.

Pirates of the Caribbean
APR 17 One of the iconic scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride is the three jailed pirates attemping to coax the key-bearing dog closer to their cell. In this contest of wits, it's the canine who proves superior to the cutthroats. Josh Pincus captures it perfectly.
