It’s common to see animated female characters with unrealistic waist-to-hip proportions, and it’s become a standard in cartoons. Snow White, however, stands out as the most anatomically accurate Disney princess. This is because animators used a live model for her, and Walt Disney himself wanted her to look more lifelike rather than overly cartoonish. It’s interesting to think about how other characters might appear if drawn with a similar approach to realism.

There are plenty of talented actors in Hollywood that are really attractive. It seems that even time can’t shake their charm and charisma because, over the years, many of them become even more attractive.

We’re inspired by rom-com relationships and dream of the same kind of vivid and passionate love. But some of the most well-known and adored movie couples are also examples of toxic behaviors. Sometimes imaginary care hides aggressive behavior and a desire to dominate. And at first glance, innocuous quarrels cover up a desire to assert themselves at the expense of a partner.

Reality, as it turns out, is sometimes better than fairy tales—at least concerning Disney princesses by illustrator Jirka Väätäinen. He depicted them so cool!

Oftentimes historical movies show us outfits that have nothing to do with the epoch they claim to be portraying. But it’s not because of the negligence of artists. In most cases, the creators do it intentionally to make the flick more expressive. Apart from corresponding to the epoch, the garments have to highlight the actors’ assets, fit into the overall concept of the movie, and be understandable to the modern viewer. If the crew manages to check all of these boxes, the flick is bound to succeed.

The girls from animated movies always look flawless, whether they’re a mermaid that has just come out of the water or they’re a princess with dry, perfectly combed hair gently swaying in the breeze. If a beautiful princess spends most of her life sleeping, she’ll never wake up with tangled or even slightly out of place hair. She will look as if she had just come out of the salon. Wind, water, humidity, and dust — nothing seems to ruin the magical hairdos of these Disney characters.

Even though all movies are scripted, actors use all the tricks in the book to sell us on their on-screen love stories. What is the best way to make a scene as genuine as possible? Improvise, of course! It can be intimidating to take your co-star by surprise and lay an unexpected kiss on them, but in almost all cases, the reward justifies the risk.

Cartoon ladies having an anatomically impossible waist to hip ratio is the standard at this point. Snow White is the most proportionally correct Disney princess since animators drew her from a real-life model and were tasked by the big man Walt himself to make her look more realistic and less cartoony. But it would be nice to imagine other characters in this fashion too.

Ariel, Mulan, Pocahontas — all of these characters have been familiar to us since childhood. We are so used to seeing them in a certain way, we don’t even notice the inaccuracies in their image. For example, Belle should’ve worn a giant powdered wig and Jasmine should be walking the streets with her head covered.

Only about 1-2% of the population of the planet has natural red hair which is why this hair color is really noticeable and it makes people unique. In Hollywood, there are actresses with red hair and they are incredibly charming.

When filming a movie and TV series, film directors try to pay attention to every little detail to make the movie look believable. Hundreds and even thousands of people can work on a single movie. However, even a multi-million dollar budget and a big crew can’t guarantee that you won’t find any goofs in the completed film.

Hollywood has presented us with many legendary onscreen romances like the ones between Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler from Gone With the Wind, Jack and Rose from Titanic, Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and many more. But not all actors are capable of emoting truly strong feelings and making us believe that they love their on-screen partner with all their heart. And there are several reasons for this: actors could hate each other in real life, they might not consider their partners attractive enough, or they might simply be bad at acting.

The talented artist behind the viral TikTok account @vanotyarts, Yudie, has taken the internet by storm with her unique redesigns of Disney characters inspired by modern beauty standards. Her creative “glow-ups” have captivated millions, blending iconic characters with contemporary aesthetics. One of her most popular videos, a stunning reimagining of Rapunzel, has amassed 17 million views, sparking discussions about how beauty perceptions have changed over time.

When you mix iconic TV and movie characters with famous actors and actresses you get a recipe for Hollywood gold. Imagine Adam Driver playing the role of Snape, or Elliot Page as the new Superman. With the power of recasting, anything is possible. Take a look at how we recast famous characters and decide which is your favorite.

Whenever we think of Disney princesses, we can’t help but think of their signature dresses. However, while we are used to seeing Belle in her yellow costume when dancing with the Beast, the reality is that, in the 18th century, fashion had nothing to do with what we see onscreen. That’s why we asked artificial intelligence to design the correct versions of these characters’ dresses, and now we are sharing the results with you.

Many factors come into play when producers are casting actors for a big hit like Harry Potter. These choices are often so well-made that the viewer creates a powerful relationship with the character. This powerful relationship makes it hard to dissociate the image of the actor and their on-screen role. For instance, can you imagine a Harry Potter played by someone other than Daniel Radcliffe, or a Hermione not played by Emma Watson? Well, even though many of us think that these actors were “born” to play these roles, it is possible that on several occasions the producers did not agree at first and they may have even chosen someone else. It’s hard to believe, but true.

To be an actor is to make the audience believe that the characters you play are as real as the audience is. But what’s more challenging is to portray a real-life figure that almost everyone around the globe knows. It can take an ocean of effort to find an actor who would be able to dive into the stories of a famous person and amaze us with their talents once more. And when these actors meet the right makeup professionals, we get to observe the wonderful magic of biopics.

Beauty is a multifaceted and constantly-changing thing. The flow is the same as in the fashion world — while thin brows and impressive makeup were trendy yesterday, today, society appreciates a more natural look. This is clearly reflected in the film industry and with pop stars — while some try hard to look younger and follow fashion trends, others, on the contrary, adhere to a chosen style over many years and oftentimes end up being remembered by viewers even more.

Many idols from our childhood or teenage years have walked away from their acting career in pursuit of a different and probably quieter life. They disappear from the radar, and every time we see them in an old movie or TV show, we feel nostalgic and secretly want to see them take back their former glory.

It is possible to write a book about how famous superheroes survived in the most extreme of situations, for example, Robinson Crusoe and Rambo. But are all of the methods they used really safe and effective?

It’s been 10 years since the drama Lost was broadcast on ABC. Its enthralling plot twists, cliffhangers, and talented cast made it one of the most talked-about series in the industry. Speaking of the cast members, they have now parted ways and are pursuing their own careers.

To be an actor, you have to be able to transform into anyone. Still, many stars get stuck playing the same types of characters. But the people from this article are not like that. Throughout their careers, they have changed dramatically and amazed us every single time.

Some people believe that true art is supposed to make us feel really powerful emotions. The movies that do this can shake us and take us way outside of our comfort zone for several hours. These films are especially valuable for their ability to make us feel the emotions we don’t get to experience in real life.

In the last several years, various live-action reboots of our favorite cartoons have aired, bringing the characters of our childhood back on screen. While many actors played fictional characters during this time, it seems like some actors were born for the roles of cartoon characters. Using AI, we imagined how 15 actors and actresses that resemble these characters a lot would look like actually playing them. And they turned out to be so good we can’t pick a favorite.
