!!Gustave Doré in popular culture:

[[AC:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': Makima has a print of Lucifer's fall from ''Paradise Lost'' framed in her apartment. The anime adds another Doré print to her office, this one from ''The Divine Comedy''.

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Creator/RobertCrumb is a fan of his work and used Doré's illustrations of the Bible as an inspiration for his own illustration of the ''Literature/BookOfGenesis''.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* His illustrated Bible appears anachronistically in ''{{Film/Amistad}}'', when its given to the captive Africans by American Christians. This was in 1841, when Doré was only nine years old, long before he created it.
* ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'': the [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/ac/c4/9eacc49fc714b38866261231ac71bfb8.jpg painting]] Lex Luthor has in his living room is inspired by Doré's ''[[https://foliojournal.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/figure-2-paradise-lost-j-milton-g-dore.jpg?w=700&h=902 Paradise Lost]]'' (1866).
* ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast|1946}}'' (1946) took much of its atmosphere from Doré's illustration work.
* The fairy tale forest in ''Film/TheCompanyOfWolves'' was inspired by Doré's illustrations for Creator/CharlesPerrault's ''Fairy Tales of Mother Goose'', especially ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood''.
* Creator/TerryGilliam admires Dorés work so much that he adapted many of the novels he illustrated to the big screen, with directly inspired imagery: ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen'', the aborted project ''Man Of La Mancha'' (about ''Literature/DonQuixote'') and ''Film/TheBrothersGrimm''.

[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* "Magick" (2004) by Music/JohnZorn has a drawing from Creator/GustaveDore on the cover.

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
* ''WebComic/{{Academia}}'': Pasha's DreamSequence is done in the style of Doré's ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* The influence of Doré on Creator/WaltDisney is very obvious, especially in his fairy tale adaptations.
