With each passing year, Disney Studio revives its classic cartoon characters to give them a touch of modern flare. Artists Jirka Väätäinen from Finland and Fernanda Suarez from Chile also decided to re-imagine famous animated characters as real life humans and created a series of realistic portraits of Disney heroes and villains.
We have to admit that our favorite childhood characters haven’t lost their charisma or their personality traits in the works by these artists.
We at Bright Side found it hard to decide which portrait we liked the most... maybe you can help us?
