Well, it may not be all that new, but I fixed the Gifscii'd picture by
diddling it in the style of the other Disney collections (i.e. Aladdin, Snow
White, etc.) Thus, the picture is made of mostly 'solid' colors as opposed to
the random characters layed out to give it a shadowed effect from the
conversion, but which I think just makes the picture look messier. I also
eliminated the thick outlines that were done by 82s...@cua.edu (sorry, no
name in the article) which as another noted, made the picture look a bit
awkward and heavy. Maybe after my exam, I'll work on the other pictures.
Tell me if you like it!

Excellent job! Interesting way of doing whiskers. The ones that extend
into the black background look fine. The i on ! whiskers on the face are a
little hard to see but they may just work out best that way. If you make
them easier to see (by drawing them with .,`' characters) it might make
the face too busy. I often delete animal whiskers on the gif before
converting because it makes the face too busy but the way you fixed up
Simba makes the whiskers fit in well.
I like the solid colors you used. The mixture of characters that
creates shading sometimes seems to make a picture harder to view. On the
Beauty and the Beast pictures to be posted in alt.binaries.pictures.ascii
you can see that the pictures of the enchantress and the beast after he is
transformed back into human form have a lot of the shaded look. A few
other pictures have shading too. You have to lean back a little bit
farther to view the picture than you would with the solid characters you
used. I'm not sure it works as well to include shading but it at least
looks a little different. The Sorcerer picture below has a little shading
effect and it may have obscured details.
