American artist of Japanese origin Jerrod Maruyama decided to portray famous film and television characters in his own, kawaii way. Tribute to popular culture took the form of cheerful drawings, in which the heroes of Western screens acquired an oriental flavor. Everyone got it: cartoon characters, movie characters, and even TV presenters.

"In Japanese culture, it is customary to put funny characters almost everywhere," says the author of funny drawings, "and they appear on clothes, packaging, and so on." Consequently, the demand for them is very high. Still, the Japanese version of cute and funny (in other words, kawaii) is very different from the aspirations of Americans and Europeans.

Work on the project began with reflections on wonderful Disney and Pixar cartoons. Jerrod Maruyama says that their characters very often catch our eye and simply ask for good people to experiment a little with their appearance.

Jerrod Maruyama had an interesting task - to change the cartoon characters so that they both were and did not look like themselves. “Many characters have undergone such serious changes that only the color scale helps to recognize them,” admits the author of funny drawings, who, after cartoons, switched over to film and television characters.
