We are sure that you have a favorite Disney movie of your own. Even though they were animated gorgeously, it would be interesting to see what these characters would be like in person. This is the reason we are so fascinated by the work of an artist by the name of Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen. The talented artist has created amazing portraits of our beloved Disney heroes and villains as real people! This is going to be a feast for the eyes, so we hope that you are ready to see they come to life.
Prepare To Be Blown Away By Realistic Portraits Of Your Favorite Disney Characters
Belle From Beauty And The Beast Before
It has always been fitting that Belle was called by her name. After all, it is hard to deny that she is pretty. For many little girls, she was always the perfect princess. Not only did she have good looks, but she also had a heart of gold and the brains to go with it! The bookish princess is beautiful inside and out.

Belle From Beauty And The Beast After
The 2D version of Belle is already great, but we daresay that this 3D version takes it to the next level! To quote from the iconic tune in the movie, it is a tale as old as time. We were happy with the portrayal of Emma Watson, and we daresay that she does not look too different from this rendition.

Prince Adam (AKA Beast) From Beauty And The Beast Before
For the majority of the movie, we saw the Beast in a different form. In fact, you might not have remembered that he has a human form until we reminded you! At any rate, he is a sight for sore eyes when the curse is lifted at last. His cartoon human form is already quite the hunk, but the 3D version is even better!
Prince Adam (AKA Beast) From Beauty And The Beast Before
Prince Adam (AKA Beast) From Beauty And The Beast After
Based on this photo alone, we are scratching our heads at anyone calling Prince Adam a beast. As you can see, he is a true hunk. In the 2017 live-action adaptation of the Disney classic, he is brought to life by Dan Stevens. Even though he does not resemble this version all that much, he did justice to the role!
Prince Adam (AKA Beast) From Beauty And The Beast After
Gaston From Beauty And The Beast Before
Folks, it is fine to admit that Gaston has always been quite attractive. For one thing, he is one of the few characters in the Disney cinematic universe that we can describe as ripped. That jawline also looks like it can cut you. Even though this is the case, let us not forget that it is what’s on the inside that counts.
Gaston From Beauty And The Beast Before
Gaston From Beauty And The Beast After
The real-life version of Gaston looks like he should be cast in a superhero movie! We will let you decide if he should be on the good side or play a villain. At any rate, this rendition only brings more attention to that fine bone structure of his. Do not even get us started on those muscles and that chest hair…
Gaston From Beauty And The Beast After
Moana From Moana Before
Even in the film, Moana has always had the most enviable eyebrows. Every single beauty vlogger and influencer will kill to have what she has. We all liked to listen to her songs and watch her story play out. Introduced in a Disney movie of the same name, this Pacific Islander princess truly changed the game.
Moana From Moana Before
Moana From Moana After
Oh, wow. How is it possible that she became even more beautiful in this realistic portrayal? As you can see here, her eyebrow game is still perfect. Her skin also looks more radiant in this rendition! Let us not forget the way that her hair looks even better in this photo than it did as an animated character.
Moana From Moana After
Ariel From The Little Mermaid Before
There are lots of reasons to envy Ariel. For one thing, so many of us still dream of becoming a mermaid. In fact, it is a mystery why she wanted to have legs so badly when swimming all day every day sounds like a total dream to us. Aside from her fins, her fiery red hair is also the envy of hipster girls from across the globe.
Ariel From The Little Mermaid Before
Ariel From The Little Mermaid After
Look at that! We definitely want to be a part of her world. It turns out that Ariel looks great in both 2D and 3D, but we did not have any doubts that this was the case. As a matter of fact, seeing this version of her only fills us with more envy. It is not fair that she gets to have a tail on top of her good looks!
Ariel From The Little Mermaid After
Prince Eric From The Little Mermaid Before
Considering how gorgeous Ariel is, it is only fair that she is paired with someone equally as good-looking. Prince Eric probably has the best hair among the Disney princes. A lot of men can only dream of having such perfect hair. He was a stud as a 2D character, but is this also true for his 3D version? Let’s see!
Prince Eric From The Little Mermaid Before
Prince Eric From The Little Mermaid After
How is it possible for a work of art to look that good?! He looks exactly the same as he did in the Disney movie but even better because it is more realistic. We love the fact that the artist added in the dimple. It is a subtle detail, but the effect goes a long way! The hair somehow looks better as well.
Prince Eric From The Little Mermaid After
Ursula From The Little Mermaid Before
Let us balance out the list by featuring more villains from Disney movies. Ursula is one of the worst characters in the Disney universe, but we can’t deny that she is fascinating. They designed her perfectly because you can take one look at her and figure out that she is one of the bad guys in no time at all.
Ursula From The Little Mermaid Before
Ursula From The Little Mermaid After
Wow, who would have guessed that the 3D version of her would slay so much? The vintage vibe is really perfect for the character. Her bold red lips, long nails, and thin eyebrows lend this version a pretty evil vibe. She looks like a “Karen,” but she basically is one. Mad props to the artist for coming up with this!
Ursula From The Little Mermaid After
Captain Hook From Peter Pan Before
Say what you want about Captain Hook, but it would be a lie to say that he looked awful. Just look at his gorgeous hair and awesome mustache. We bet that a lot of men would pay to have the same thing! Some of his features have been stylized, so it is exciting to see what the artist decided to do with him…
Captain Hook From Peter Pan Before
Captain Hook From Peter Pan After
We are here to let you know that his mustache is still on-point, while his hair looks even better. If you want to achieve the same luscious locks, you might want to try a career as a pirate. We are sure that it would not look that good if he was not sailing the seas! You see, sea salt is great at adding texture.
Captain Hook From Peter Pan After
Princess Jasmine From Aladdin Before
Even though most Disney princesses dress well, we think that Princess Jasmine deserves the crown for best dressed. That ponytail was simply iconic. Do we even need to tell you that her outfit was ahead of its time? The headpiece and jewelry were clearly chosen with care and brought the entire look together! She truly stood out from the crowd.
Princess Jasmine From Aladdin Before
Princess Jasmine From Aladdin After
If you thought that Princess Jasmine was already perfect in the movie, wait until you see what she would look like if she were real. She is truly flawless! The princess was brought to life by actress Naomi Scott in the 2019 movie. Even though she did not look exactly like this portrait, she is stunning in her own way.
Princess Jasmine From Aladdin After
Aladdin From Aladdin Before
There are plenty of things to be said about Aladdin. For starters, we just want to give him kudos for rocking his own style. Not a lot of people can pull off a vest and no shirt, but he did! His style made him look like the rebel that he is. Read on to see what he would look like if he were a real person…
Aladdin From Aladdin Before
Aladdin From Aladdin After
This version of Aladdin brings the character to a new level altogether. Maybe it is better to say that it brings him to a whole new world? Get it? This portrait makes him look a little like actor Jake Gyllenhall, doesn’t it? In the 2019 movie, Mena Massoud played Aladdin. He is a gorgeous man, no doubt about it.
Aladdin From Aladdin After
Jafar From Aladdin Before
It is very rare to find a man who will proudly wear a cape in this day and age. For his fashion choices alone, we give him a nod of approval. He must be a very confident man if he can pull off such a look. We have to admit that he picked the perfect color scheme. The cobra specter completes the outfit.
Jafar From Aladdin Before
Jafar From Aladdin After
The cape is neat and all, but this rendition shows us that Jafar looks fine without it. We admire how the colors come to life in this portrait! Just by looking at it, you can tell that he is dressed in the most luxurious materials you can possibly get. His facial hair and bone structure look amazing in 3D as well.
Jafar From Aladdin After
Esmeralda From The Hunchback Of Notre Dame Before
We can understand why so many of us had a huge crush on Esmeralda growing up. In fact, it makes perfect sense why everyone in the film wanted to be with her. She is simply stunning! Her green eyes really popped out with her black waves and her tan skin. If you ask us, she is the true dream girl.
Esmeralda From The Hunchback Of Notre Dame Before
Esmeralda From The Hunchback Of Notre Dame After
Just by watching the movie, you already know that she has an amazing sense of style. However, seeing the outfit in 3D makes it even clearer. We can just imagine hipster girls donning the same outfit for the hottest summer music festival. Needless to say, this real-life portrait of Esmeralda is amazing. We are not shocked to see how gorgeous she is in it.
Esmeralda From The Hunchback Of Notre Dame After
Hercules From Hercules Before
When it comes to Disney heroes, it is hard to think of someone more fit than this guy right here. Our beloved Roman demigod has pulled off something that most men would not even dream of doing. It is not every day that you see a man feel confident in a tunic. which is basically like an armored dress.
Hercules From Hercules Before
Hercules From Hercules After
Meg can deny just how much she likes Hercules, but we are not even going to try and deny it. How can you not be in love with this hunk? We like every single thing that we can see in this photo. The hair, the nose, those arms… We do not think we need to expound just how attractive this portrait is!
Hercules From Hercules After
Megara From Hercules Before
Megara does not need muscles, thank you. After all, her strength comes from her ability, smarts, and ability to pick an eyeshadow to go with her dress. We love this sassy lady, who might be the only person to keep up with the likes of Hercules and Hades. She also wins by putting her hair up in a high pony!
Megara From Hercules Before
Megara From Hercules After
We admire just how much this portrait stays true to the 2D version of the character. She would not be the same person if she did not have that signature smirk of hers. You should also check out what she is using to tie her ponytail in this photo. It is a small detail, but the laurel leaves leave a huge impression.
Megara From Hercules After
Hades From Hercules Before
Oh, we know what you are thinking. You are probably trying to figure out how on earth one can come up with a real-life version of Hades. After all, the god of the underworld was shown to have ashy skin, yellow eyes, and blue hair. We are glad to report that the artist is just that talented! See for yourself…
Hades From Hercules Before
Hades From Hercules After
What did we tell you? The artist clearly knew what he was doing, so we hope that you do not doubt his skills any longer. We are impressed that he made even Hades look this good. Something about this rendition gives us punk rock vibes. If you ask us, it looks like he could be a member of Twenty One Pilots.
Hades From Hercules After
Merida From Brave Before
This little lady had fiery red hair to go with her fiery personality! Did you know that she is the 11th Disney princess but the first one made by Pixar? How awesome is that? A lot of people look up to her for her bravery and kind heart. She is best known for her Scottish accent, unruly hair, and bright blue eyes.
Merida From Brave Before
Merida From Brave After
Wow, we have to say that we had no idea that her hair can look even better. On top of that, her eyes also look amazing in this portrait! We love the fact that she looks her age here. Mind you, Merida is only 16 years old in the film. It is good to remember that because it only makes her exploits more impressive.
Merida From Brave After
Mulan From Mulan Before
Who is that girl I see, staring straight right at me? It is no other than Mulan! This brave Chinese warrior is always a refreshing sight to see. If we may say so ourselves, the movie has some of the best Disney songs out there. On top of that, we enjoyed seeing her transformation over the course of the movie.
Mulan From Mulan Before
Mulan From Mulan After
It turns out that Mulan is gorgeous in both 2D and 3D. This is a neat portrait because it lets us see what one of the bravest and coolest Disney princesses would look like in real life. Her hair looks even silkier and straighter here! In the 2020 live-action adaptation of the movie, Mulan was portrayed by Liu Yifei.
Mulan From Mulan After
Captain Li Shang From Mulan Before
Even in 2D, Captain Li Shang was already a stud. As a matter of fact, he might be one of the most famous Disney princes out there. We love the fact the interactions that he had in Mulan before and after he founds out the truth about her identity. On top of that, he led one of the best songs in the movie!
Captain Li Shang From Mulan Before
Captain Li Shang From Mulan After
We already expected that the portrait was going to be good, but even we are blown away by the end result. His jawline looks even better in 3D! The hair and eyebrows look great as well. We are sure that you can’t keep your eyes off those arms and abs as well. Sadly, the character was not in the 2020 film.
Captain Li Shang From Mulan After
Rapunzel From Tangled Before
It is not hard to see that Rapunzel was a total cutie in the movie. Her very long hair makes her look very feminine, and so do her huge green eyes. We bet that you are excited to see what the artist had in mind when he created a 3D version of this princess! We do not for a second doubt that it is going to be great.
Rapunzel From Tangled Before
Rapunzel From Tangled After
As you can see, the artist did not disappoint us here either! This cute rendition only goes to prove that she really has that girl-next-door charm. It just sucks that no one was around to admire her for a great deal of time. Anyway, we would have believed you if you said that this is a photo of Amanda Seyfried.
Rapunzel From Tangled After
Flynn Rider From Tangled Before
Most people did not remotely like chin scruff until Flynn Rider swooped in and made it cool again. Of course, this probably only worked for him since he had floppy hair and perfect eyebrows to go with it. Let us not forget that he has that smolder that can make any lady fall heads over heels in love with him.
Flynn Rider From Tangled Before
Flynn Rider From Tangled After
Let us see if Flynn Rider looks just as good in real life. Or should we call him by his real name, Eugene Fitzherbert? We suppose it doesn’t really matter because he is even hunkier in this portrait than he has any right to be. It turns out that the smolder is around 100 times more effective if he were a real person!
Flynn Rider From Tangled After
Snow White From Snow White Before
There are many ways to describe Snow White. Among others, you can say that she is kind, hard-working and beautiful. If she were alive today, we are sure that her vintage style is only going to make her stand out from the crowd even more. Let us find out if her portrait lives up to the expectations that we have…
Snow White From Snow White Before
Snow White From Snow White After
Skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony… How is it possible for Snow White to look even more gorgeous than she already was? We especially admire the way her hair looks here. It looks like she just went to the salon to get all dolled up. Needless to say, she looks perfect both before and after.
Snow White From Snow White After
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog Before
Everyone is aware that Tiana serves. We are not only talking about coffee and food but also looks! She is a sight for sore eyes in her yellow dress. We have to commend her for picking out that eyeshadow as well. We can’t wait to see how the artist decided to portray her. Are you ready to see what he drew up?
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog Before
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog After
The 2D version was already a sight to behold, but we think that this one is even better. How is it possible for a 3D rendition to look this good? The little cowlick is the cherry on top! Sometimes, it is really the small detail that brings a work of art to the next level. We would go to a restaurant every single day just to see this cutie.
Tiana From The Princess And The Frog After
Prince Naveen From The Princess And The Frog Before
Naveen had been under the impression that the women all turned putty as soon as they laid their eyes on him. Well, we can see where he is coming from. After all, you are surely going to leave an impression when you look like that! With his dimples and style, it is good that he knows how good-looking he is.
Prince Naveen From The Princess And The Frog Before
Prince Naveen From The Princess And The Frog After
We were expecting that the portrait would show us a handsome man, but this is even better than what we had in mind. He looks like every bit the dashing gentleman! The hair shows an incredible amount of detail, and that smile is killer. It is pretty hard to believe that he was ever a frog after seeing this photo.
Prince Naveen From The Princess And The Frog After
Pocahontas From Pocahontas Before
When it comes to natural beauties, the first one that comes to mind is Pocahontas. Get it? Not only is she beautiful, but she loves nature as well. Anyway, she has lovely black hair that women would kill to have. On top of that, she has the sort of bone structure that very few people have been lucky enough to share.
Pocahontas From Pocahontas Before
Pocahontas From Pocahontas After
Are we sure that this is not a photo of a model? After all, the woman in the photo would not be out of place in the pages of a fashion spread or on the runway. In this 3D version, her cheekbones are even more prominent than they were in the original film. Maybe she should be called Poca-hotness instead!
Pocahontas From Pocahontas After
John Smith From Pocahontas Before
A lot of people probably wished that they were in Pocahontas’ figurative shoes when John Smith sings to her. Yet again, we have one more Disney prince with a jawline that can cut diamonds. Is it a requirement if you are going to be a love interest? We would love to run our hands through his lovely blonde locks!
John Smith From Pocahontas Before
John Smith From Pocahontas After
There was nothing wrong with the 2D version, but we much prefer this one instead. There is something about the way this portrait brings his features to life that makes us swoon. Perhaps it is the fact that his shirt is hanging wide open here. It could be those luscious lips, which didn’t get much attention before.
John Smith From Pocahontas After
