What Classic Disney Characters Would Look Like In Real Life

Even if you’ve long since outgrown Disney movies, the ones you grew up with will still hold a special place in your heart. We bet you could still recite the dialogue in Aladdin word-for-word and sing along with every hopeful stanza of Ariel’s epic numbers in The Little Mermaid. 

Aladdin is one of our all-time favorite Disney films, and we would love to meet all the characters in real life (well, maybe not Jafar). Jasmine was a feisty princess who would not settle for anything other than the path she wanted to take in life. She refuses to marry just any old prince and ends up falling in love with her “street rat,” Aladdin.

Moana is one of our favorite modern Disney characters. She’s yet another cartoon character we’d love to swap lives with, given her glorious island lifestyle. However, we’ll happily let her deal with all the curses, demigods, and dangerous adventures!

Queen Elsa is another Disney character who grew up with something we’d all love to have – the power to control ice and snow. Of course, with such frosty powers, the Disney universe had evil queen status in store for Elsa. However, even an army of snow monsters wasn’t enough to tempt her away from her loving nature.

Our favorite Disney bookworm, Belle, was the most beautiful princess to ever grace the animator’s table. Yet she didn’t really care about her looks. Belle lived in a fantasy world all her own, and she had no interest in conforming to societal expectations. 

Peter Pan is a magical story that was perfectly captured in Disney’s 1953 film. It’s wild to think that the animated movie is that old because, when you watch it, Peter Pan doesn’t feel dated at all. Just like the titular character, this story will never grow old. 

Mulan is the 1998 Disney flag bearer, and in the film, she is portrayed as a free-spirited outcast who cannot follow the rules or traditions. But besides this, she has a warm, kind heart, and she wants nothing more than to uphold her family honor. Mulan inspires most of us who are tied to our traditions and thoughts.

We all know Snow White, the first Disney heroine. On top of that, she is the first princess in the Disney princess line-up, and her character helped shape the later heroines like Cinderella and Elsa. Since childhood, the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been a historical piece of cinema and storytelling.

Eugene Fitzherbert also known as Flynn Rider from Tangled is one of the toughest, never quitting, and enduring characters that Disney has ever created. Despite all that, he is also a trouble-making, notorious, and backstabbing thief. He has never experienced a change of mind or heart until falling in love with Rapunzel, the lost princess.

Jane from Tarzan is a gorgeous, charismatic, and curious ethnologist who travels to Africa where she meets a handsome wild man, Tarzan, whom she eventually falls in love with. Based on her coming from a royal family in England, Jane seems to have a sense of standards. She is respectful and appreciates responsibility.

The Evil Queen attempted to hold her position as the most attractive one of all, and that is why she set out on a quest to harm Snow White. This picture shows how beautiful and queenly she is, but there’s a hardness and a coldness to that stare.  

Tarzan was one of the most enjoyable Disney films, taking us deep into the jungle to meet the boy who grew up in the wild. Who wouldn’t want to grow up in a cartoon jungle, swinging from vines, hanging out with monkeys, and singing epic Disney songs? 

Tinker Bell is a sassy fairy with a bell voice, a sharp tongue, and a fair companion to Peter Pan. She loved Peter jealousy and intensely. She despises any girl that claims to have affection for Peter.

Can you hear Princess Anna’s sweet, soothing voice through this portrait? And how realistic are her innocent-looking, attractive eyes? Princess Anna is just a beautiful, energetic character with unwavering optimism. Anna doesn’t like to be alone, and as a result, she’d do anything to ensure her family in Arendelle is safe.

Esmeralda is a Romanian woman residing underneath the Paris catacombs known as the Court of Miracles. She works as an entertainer and a dancer on the streets during professional events. In most cases, she is accompanied by her goat Dali, who acts as her favorite pet.

The artist’s vision of Ursula is impeccable in every sense. Look at those fierce eyes and that devilish smile. This picture perfectly illustrates why the abhorrent ocean witch is viewed as probably the best antagonist ever. Ursula (otherwise known as the Sea Witch) is the principal enemy of Disney’s 1989 film, The Little Mermaid.

Hercules is one of the best god-like characters ever created by Disney. Hercules is the son of Zeus and Hera, and his God characteristics make him strong, wise, optimistic and determined. Even when he is outmatched physically and mentally, he stands firm on his ground to prove he is not afraid. His story is an ever-growing inspirational tale for that there are hero qualities within all of us.

Pocahontas loves nature, and she spends most of her time exploring the land. However, after she fell in love with John Smith, she discovered her purpose in life, and in the animated film, it was up to her to bring peace to her people. In the film, she is portrayed as a free-spirited, noble young woman who is wise beyond her years.

Rapunzel is a charming princess of Corona. She has beautiful, long blonde hair, greenish eyes, and a gorgeous smile. She is characterized by her kindness, loving heart, and her curiosity. Her character in the film leaves us with a dream of having a friend like her in our lives.

If you don’t know who Hades from Hercules is, then you have been missing out on the comedic yet evil villain that Hades is. In the film, Hades is the ruler of the underworld, pain, and panic. He is also Hercules’s uncle and arch-nemesis, as well as Zeus’ brother.

Captain Li Shang from Mulan is a mighty, no-nonsense, steadfast warrior who protects lives and does not bully anyone. He is always number one when it comes to extensive knowledge of training techniques. Despite all his success, he is shy and lacks social skills as he seems to have trouble telling Mulan his romantic feelings for her.

Cinderella is another charming character we’d love to live as. Despite her coming from a wealthy family, Cinderella is famous for her kindness and loving heart, unlike that of her cruel stepmother. For most of us, Cinderella is an inspiring story for when we are facing challenges and cruelty.

In this portrait, he looks so real and handsome. I guess that is another reason why Pocahontas risked her life and disobeyed her father for John Smith. She also traveled to a new world to move on with John Smith and leave her tradition behind.

Princess Aurora is the only daughter of queen Leah and King Stefan. She was cursed to die by the evil Maleficent who sought revenge from King Stefan who cut her wings while she was asleep.

Kristoff is a handsome hunk with blonde hair, attractive brown eyes, and a good body physique. A colony of trolls raised him, and if we judge him based on his personality, we can only say they raised him well.

Megara served as a minion of Hades, the God of the Underworld. Megara is a free-spirited, independent, and easy-going woman who can take care of herself. She had her heart broken by her boyfriend in the past, and she became cynical, snarky, and developed a low opinion of men.

You have to be a pretty special guy to tempt a mermaid to give up her tail and voice to walk on dry land. We’re not sure we would have chased after this guy, but stranger things have been done in the name of love! 

Needless to say, the artist effectively captivated the dark side of Jafar in this picture. We can see the evilness of the heartless villain here. As Royal Vizier of Agrabah, he was introduced as the Sultan’s trusted and faithful guide. In truth, the imperious Jafar held deep contempt for the Sultan.

This is an astonishing portrait of an evil fairy that utilizes malevolent wizardry in retribution for not being welcomed to the christening of Princess Aurora. Who would’ve thought they’d select Angelina Jolie to play such a dark and evil character? Maleficent gives off an impression of being especially derisive of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, her kindhearted opponents. 

As the animated film starts, Prince Adam appears cruel, selfish, and with no love in his heart. Because of his awful character, he was cursed by an enchantress as a punishment. However, after falling in love with Belle, he changed his ways and became a gentle, caring, and loving person. We all love the Beast by the end of the film.

In this portrait we see Tiana from The Princess and The Frog, looking fabulous with her attractive eyes, full eyelashes, and long dark hair.

Thomas is John Smith’s sidekick, fellow soldier, and best friend in Pocahontas. Besides that, he is a handsome, cheerful, respectful, and caring companion.

Captain Hook never looked so real. This picture shows the wrathful, merciless, and insatiable side of the bloodthirsty commander of the Jolly Roger. While he is a commendable rival for Peter Pan, Hook is bound to fail. Peter Pan’s capacity to fly gives him the upper hand (literally), and Hook will always be at the mercy of the blundering inadequacy of his first mate, Mr. Smee. 

Aladdin is famously known as Prince Ali Ababwa, and he is the main flag bearer of the film Aladdin franchise. In the film, he was portrayed as coming from a poor upbringing, and he used to scrap food and run from guards with his monkey sidekick, Abu. But despite his upbringing, he is an optimistic, fun-loving, hard-working, and handsome character.

Nakoma from Pocahontas is one of the simplest characters; all she wanted was to be Pocahontas’ best friend. She is free-spirited and optimistic, yet tries to be responsible and serious. In some cases, she acts as the voice of Pocahontas. However, at some point, she gets a warning when she tries to stop Pocahontas from going to see her love interest, John Smith.

Known as Cinderella’s wicked stepmom, Lady Tremaine is barbarous, eager for power, and manipulative. This portrait is nothing short of precision, showing Lady Tremaine’s evil nature and disdain for Cinderella. As the heartless stepmother, Lady Tremaine doesn’t go after her stepdaughter directly, nor does she use violence. Instead, her actions are far more insidious. 

Prince Charming’s looks in this portrait, exceeds our expectations. He looks handsome and one you could dance with all night long. He also appears smart, not only physically in this portrait, but also in the film. Prince Charming is famous for his romantic commitment towards Cinderella.

Honestly, most of us did not think that the Scottish princess and the daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor would look so beautiful in real life.

Here comes the one who will sweep girls off their feet before he says even a single word—Prince Philips from Sleeping Beauty. Prince Phillip has a muscular, slim physique, brown hair, lighter, attractive brown eyes, and on top of that, he seems to have a sense and taste for fashion. He is famous for being brave, persuasive, and heroic, but also seems to be easy-going.

The ocean-going princess from Disney’s classic The Little Mermaid is a stubborn, rebellious, outspoken mermaid who isn’t afraid to chase her dreams. Ariel was an inspiration to our younger selves as she always swam into action with a plan (even if her plans didn’t always work out well).

This is an ideal picture of Rapunzel’s mother-turned-enemy. Her expressive eyes and deceptive smile capture the nature of the character perfectly. Mother Gothel is a mischievous hag who held youth for many years through the recuperating properties of an enchanted flower. 

If you have watched The Princess And The Frog, do you remember the awkward moment when Prince Naveen as a frog says, “I am Prince Naveen,” as his pick-up line and gets smashed by a book? Oh, how that scene makes us laugh.

Look at this portrait. It is easy to understand why Ursula could easily brainwash Prince Eric into loving “Vanessa” instead of Ariel.

You realize an expert in his craft has made remarkable work when he can catch the evilness of the fashion-fixated heiress known as the Devil Woman. The artist included many intricate details, such as her yellow-colored teeth from smoking. It truly is stunning work!

What can we say? The artist perfectly captured Kocoum’s signature serious look. Kocoum is Chief Powhatan’s most powerful warrior, and he battled fearlessly in the conflict against the Massawomecks. The handsome Native American warrior rarely smiles, hence the serious image. 

We don’t know anyone who doesn’t adore Alice in Wonderland. Here is a picture that will transform your memory of her. The artist did an amazing job, perfectly capturing the charm and innocence of the famous Disney character.
