Cartoons to Reality


  • Ariel from The Little Mermaid

  • Belle from Beauty and the Beast


  • Megara from Hercules
  • Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty
  • Esmeralda from the Hunchback on Notre Dame
  • Princess Jasmine from Aladdin
  • Pocahontas

  • Snow White
  • Cinderella

  • Alice from Alice in Wonderland
  • Jane from Tarzan
  • Tinkerbell from Peter Pan

    So here's an interesting example of simulacra. Someone decided to post a few reverse caricatures. Usually you see real people made into cartoons, but this is the first time I've seen someone take cartoons and try to draw them as real life people. Personally I don't like it. I like the my cartoons as cartoons. These pictures try to bring them to life, and make them out to be real people. But they aren't. They live in fantastical worlds, with magic carpets, and happy endings. That's where they belong. Making them look real just seems...wrong. It also doesn't help that a few of them look like people I know. That's just awkward.
