London-based artist Rich McCor has created a series that transforms cities into beautiful Disney scenes - using only paper and scissors. Here he adds a flying Peter Pan over Big Ben in a scene reminiscent of the 1953 classic
The unique project was created in collaboration with digital entertainment service DisneyLife who challenged him to put his unique touch on landscapes. The silhouettes of Lion King characters Simba, Timon and Pumbaa are pictured here strolling across the River Tyne on the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in north east England
Many of his images already had a Disney theme, like his picture of Quasimodo on top of Notre Dame (left), so he set out to add more to his collection. Pictured right is Lion King's Rafiki raising Simba above his head, like he did on Pride Rock in the movie. The image was taken on Gozo, Malta

Many of his images already had a Disney theme, so McCor was quick to rise to the occasion and find some more creative scenes.

Since starting his unusual cut out images last summer, McCor has seen his follower count on his Instagram account, Paperboyo, rocket.
He told MailOnline: 'Since my pictures went up last year, my photos have gone viral and since then I've had some really fun opportunities with tourist boards and brands.'
'I've already had a few trips this year and I'm about to head to Hong Kong.'

A HISTORY BEHIND RICH MCCOR'S PAPER WORK
It all began when Rich started taking pictures of his cut out artwork in 2015, turning the clock face of Big Ben into a watch - using just a paper strap.
Great Little Place London, a crowd-sourced recommendation website, then challenged him to design 10 photos for them, and he decided all would include cut outs in what was fast becoming his trademark style.
Rich posts his images to his Instagram account, Paperboyo, which now has more than 149,000 followers.
