Artist Lee Crutchley has kindly allowed us to show off some of his fantastic movie mash-up artwork. Check out his beyond awesome Tumblr page here.
What’s Being Mashed-Up: A quote from trippy mind-scramble Inception and the giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from, like you need telling, Ghostbusters the first.
Attention To Detail: It’s all about that hat, and the tiny, embroidered words hidden there.
Quoteskine Says: “I'm a big fan of taking two separate references and putting them together to make something new. This idea actually came to me while I was in the cinema watching Inception. I've always been one for dreaming and thinking big, but The Stay Puft Man is a stark warning of just what can happen when you do, so be careful kids… And if your big dreams do go wrong, you know who to call!”

These are great illustrations and ideas, really well thought out. @Vampyre, great name by the way, fair enough if you don't like the illustration style, but can't see how you think some of them don't make sense, even my 7 year old niece could understand these. Also, there are written descriptions at the side to help you understand, just in case they are a bit beyond you.

billmurray - i understand the images , but why , what is the point of drawing films together into one image? For example , what possible link does anchorman has with superman, apart from that they are both films made in america? gonzoben - you are such a wit, if you cant do more than jeer at people making comments just dont bother. go back to facebook or whatever banality you call your life.

@ Vampyre. You're right, what is the point. What's the point in life come to think of it, is this what its all about? Me sitting here typing away replying to some d*******g about some cool illustrations on totalfilm.com. I mean, surely we should be doing more with our lives. Especially you Vampire, sorry i mean Vampyre. Seriously though, just relax guy, its ok if you don't get it.

Excuse me, dont patronise me! I just think they're a bit feeble and dont serve a purpose. And yes i, at the end of the day what is the point in anything. I often read the articles on here and find them funny, but i just think this one has lost its way. I think the re-imagining of the disney films that was done a little while back by that guy who was quite talented. However, enough this. i just plain dont like these, sorry if that offends some people, im sure its ok to have an opinion still.

I agree with Vampyre. The art just aint that good. Looks like teenage angst art. Good ideas, poorly executed.

I like how you can see it was done with cheap felt tip pens, especially Shaun's cricket bat!

loving the Ron B trapped in the Phantom Zone from Superman. Vampyre the point is to entertain and enjoy. Maybe the artist chose a more childlike form for simplicity. I wouldn't think watercolour versions would be quite as cool as these are.
