Though the animals we see starring in most Disney movies are easy enough to associate with, many of us still often imagine them as people, sometimes even putting ourselves in their places. Pugletto, an artist in Wisconsin, takes this a step further by re-drawing those characters as she thinks they might look as humans, also doing her best to preserve what she thinks might be their ethnic backgrounds.
She told Cosmopolitan that she “got really frustrated about the amount of Simbas with white skin and flowing red hair. The way I see it, is The Lion King is a story that takes place in Africa… [so] I reimagined the characters as humans the way they would look if they were from Africa.”
The Lion King isn’t all she drew – check out more of her art below!

Everything was going great before Elsa came along. People's fixation with Elsa is getting on my nerves, every article that I read online at least have once mentioned Elsa. Elsa is soo overrated.
ikr? i f*****g hate elsa... i saw a post where they showed pictures of disney characters painted as velociraptors (related to the jurassic world release) and it pissed me off that only elsa's raptor had a really cool color, she was a blue velociraptor while the others had a brown/gray color...except for jasmine, she was green

So adorable! I think its all cute and very interesting interpretations!
Fantastic, except Black panther in Jungle Book - Baghera was a female :) At least in a book :)
Everything cool man, but Bagira from Jungle book is a female character,
Lady and the tramp would look so different. Don't agree. But the rest are beautiful!
Ok so some people might not agree but the one thing i didt really like about this article was that most of the people seemed to be black or native, maybe there couldve been a little more racial diversity...?
