The women of Disney are many things (mermaids, warriors, princesses) and have been reimagined over the years in many ways (including as members of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, naturally). But even putting discussion of the many tired female stereotypes that surround them aside (really, Ariel, you're going to literally trade your voice away for a shot at that pretty, pretty boy?), one has to acknowledge that their always-sparkling eyes and oh-so-minuscule waistlines are not of this world. Until now, that is. Finnish artist Jirka Väätäinen has used Photoshop to reimagine what some of Disney's most memorable heroines would look like as real-life women. From Elsa to Anna, Cinderella to Jasmine, Belle to Merida to Mulan and more, the results are stunning.
Take a look.
This version of Mulan is clearly an off-the-battlefield interpretation.
Princess Anna looks like that girl from your high school that was always annoyingly cheerful and put together.
Even this realistic rendering can't remove the doe-like wonder from Alice's eyes. And is it just us, or does she look a little like a young Taylor Swift here, with the red lips and button nose?
Princess Jasmine's proportions may be more realistic in this rendition, but that hair — that has to be the stuff of dreams?
Belle from Beauty and the Beast still has the sultry brown eyes and pouty lips that led the Beast to...um...well...basically kidnap her.
Queen Elsa from Frozen is still rocking one hell of a great braid.
Real or imagined (or imagined as real?), Merida from Brave still has a head full of utterly enviable red curls.
This version of Cinderella may still have quite a bit of housework to do, but that doesn't mean even a single strand of hair is out of place.
Sure, it's hard to qualify Ariel from The Little Mermaid as "real-life" no matter how she's drawn, what with the mermaid tail and all. But her eye-to-waist ratio is certainly more apropos of reality here.
One of the original Disney princesses, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, gets a slightly more down-to-earth treatment with curly bangs and a black headband.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
