Since 1937 with Snow White and the Seven DwarfsOpens in a new tab, DisneyOpens in a new tab has given us some of the most memorable characters of all time. Yes, we get that there were fairy tales long before the films came along, but when combined with the Disney magic, they became something more. Throughout the years, people have been inspired by these characters and what Disney has done with them, and InstagramOpens in a new tab user Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen is one of those. He’s a fantastic artist and proved it by taking Disney characters and rendering them as if they were in the real world.
What’s amazing about these paintings is that while PeterOpens in a new tab looks like he could be living right here in our world, Jirka didn’t take away the character traits from his face that makes him the DISNEY Peter Pan. Otherwise, while it would still be an amazing picture, it would be just a kid in an elf costume.
The same thing goes for MoanaOpens in a new tab. While here features give her a less stylized look, she still has what makes her Moana.
It’s not surprising that the hardest characters to give that realistic look to would be the villains. CruellaOpens in a new tab looks evil as all get out, but she still has that “female JokerOpens in a new tab” grin that’s a little too creepy for the real world.
