Artist Shows Which Disney Characters Your Favorite Celebrities Should Be (26 Pics)
Ukraine-born artist Helen Morgun gave us a cool drawing series we didn't know we needed. She reimagined our beloved famous people as Disney characters. Helen has been working on the drawing ideas for quite some time now, and the unexpected mashups have been taking the internet by storm.
From Emma Stone as Merida to Billie Eilish as Kida Nedakh, Helen definitely gave Hollywood some ideas to consider. It's clear that the artist carefully studies not only the physical features but personalities of each famous person before "assigning" them their animated character alter-egos. Scroll down, upvote your favorite famous characters and let us know in the comments what you think of the series.

Tom Hiddleston As Hades
Jolee Koop 5 years ago
You know Loki and Hades are probably really good friends. They also both have a blue-y skin tone
Kat Kirkpatrick 5 years ago
Nice. But since Marvel is already owned by Disney, doesn't that make Tom Hiddleston's version of Loki already a "Disney" character??
"I've been in love with Disney since childhood," Helen told Bored Panda. "Over the years, I've collected wonderful memories of Disney cartoons and characters. And the amazing thing is that they continue to surprise me.
"The artist said that she started this series with the drawing of Rachel McAdams, "I painted her as Cinderella. I really love this popular actress and it always seemed to me that she would be very suitable for this role. After completing the portrait, I decided that it was possible to make a series of drawings with different famous people as Disney characters and began to look for similarities. My followers liked the idea as well."

Rihanna As Tiana
"I started doing polls in my Instagram stories where people would choose from two famous people as candidates for a new Disney character. It's fun."
Even though Helen has been working on this project for quite some time, she plans to continue it. "As I've said, I have a lot of followers who really like this series. I myself really like to transform real-life stars into these famous characters. It's like a little adventure every time."
"I'm glad that these drawings have attracted the attention of so many people, and I want to say thanks to all of those who supported me and my work. It's very motivating to realize that your work resonates with people."

She can't be the only talented actress with an asian background in Hollywood right? Like Akwafina, Who recently got a golden globe nomination.

No. An awesome actress like her shouldn't have to be in that bombshell.

I think Lucy looks amazing, and would be a great Mulan!! Really good matchup!!
Cookiefoot 5 years ago
Lucy possesses characteristics of Milan. Intelligent and beautiful while not relying on her beauty. A force to be with.
Nicky Zhang 5 years ago
She is a decent actor no doubt but she should NEVER be typecast as any Chinese character. If you speak Chinese or is rooted in Chinese culture, you'd know how badly she bombed her character in Shanghai Noon. Her playing a Chinese character is second only to John Wayne's Gengis Khan. There are plenty of more fitting actors who can fill the role of Mulan.

She was awesome in kill bill (not sure what nationality was to be presented there, but she was right fit)

I agree, this one could've been better. Personally I don't like race-bending neither. A white haired Shay Mitchell would've been great, or maybe Rosario Dawson.

This may sound odd, but I used to know a lady who reminded me of Cruella DeVil: salt and pepper grey hair, tall, lanky, angular...She wasn't nasty, though. :)
Logan Scaggs 5 years ago
My bestfriend's aunt reminds me of Cruella DeVil because she has her hair short and on one side it's black and the other its white. But she isn't nasty either

She doesn't have a Hawaiian face. Not trying to be racist, it's just a look

Actually Moana is more New Zealand based, I'd guess, since her name is Maori for "ocean".

Selena is part islander. I would actually see her playing this part though, I would like to see more new island actresses in this role. Staying true to the roots is best to stay authentic.

Selena is part islander. I actually could see her paying this part though I am not much of a fan. I wouldn't mind seeing new island actresses featured though.

Kate Johnson 5 years ago
Oh, FFS! All anyone here is doing is "but what about..." The artist chose these people, and there's nothing wrong with who they chose. It was their vision. If you so "can't see it" despite it being right in front of you, why don't you do it yourself?
Tashiana Holt 5 years ago
A Native Actress is best for this role. I am not familiar with this person so if she is Native, then okay.

The Disney one maybe, but little mermaid is an old story. Without it's original ending it also loses the moral of the whole story, to appreciate what you have and not assume the grass is always greener etc

Wow, I hope you are an artist, because you have commented pretty negatively on all the person's art that they seemed to have put a lot of effort into.

Leo is very rude, but you don't have to be an artist to criticize art. I say this as an artist myself.

I wonder why almost exclusively we see only women portrayed. I would've been curious about male characters too, because there are some, right?

Because that's who the artist chose. They came up with the idea and executed it, and they chose these.

Good point. Lea Seydoux for example was great in the French version of Beauty and the Beast, though she doesn't look like the Disney character at all. Audrey Tautou could make a good Disney!Belle.
