If you thought that Disney animations were fictional then think again, because as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, the stars of some of our favorite films are actually real! Evil Ursula from The Little Mermaid is actually a judge who works in north-west Ukraine, Toy Story's Mr Potato Head is actually American TV personality Steve Harvey, Mrs Potato Head is in fact Nicki Minaj, and even Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia are real (although they clearly don't get along so well when they're not acting together...).
Scroll through the list below for more Disney characters who are actually real. Don't forget to vote for the funniest!

This Ukrainian Judge Looks Like Ursula From Little Mermaid
Kevin Donegan 8 years ago
What would you think walking into court and seeing her for the first time. "I'm serving life in prison for this jay-walking citation!"
David Bogachik 8 years ago
Shame on you, people, for your looking and incredible lightness in judgments as to a person you know nothing about. She is a good judge, she is a corruption fighter, she scarcely survived after being stabbed 12 times. This is about her professionalism, not the make up. Mocking her tells more about you, not her.
Nadia Novik 8 years ago
She is an assault survivor, who went through multiple surgeries fighting for her life! The injuries she received, including on her face, are the reason why she looks like this now! Not only she had to learn to live after the assault, but now she also needs to cope with this new "fame"! Shame on you for contributing to this and spreading it around!

I actually think she looks pretty cool. It's a very interesting look, that's for sure.

Sloths are mega adorable, I'd say it's flattering. Let's just hope she feels the same.

Wasn't necessary to write "This Asian Girl"... just stick with "This Girl" please. Race is not relevant to the photo.
Charles Thompson III 8 years ago
Why did you have to specify that she is Asian but didn't specify the race the previous people were?
Danielle Ophir 8 years ago
How come no one ever writes *This white girl* under white girls' pictures?

Make-up is a delicate field: not enough and you look like a potato, too much, and, you still look like a potato.

I think... This is kinda cheating... I think it's a cosplay.... no one has their hair like that... not naturally...
Bridget Smith 8 years ago
Definitely a cosplay, but it's an AMAZING cosplay. To look this similar to a cartoon character you are portraying is no easy feat. Definitely not cheating. It requires way more work and looks perfect!
Natitronica 8 years ago
He has the doll, the same shirt, the same sweatshirt, a wig with the same haircut, he has makeup on, and he's pulling the same half smile... I guess his intention was indeed to look like the character since this is clearly a cosplay.
Karine Fonte 8 years ago
That seriously looks like a cosplay. Possibly a girl.

Danny DeVito Looks Like Phil From Hercules
JillVille Child Care 8 years ago
Exactly what I was going to say - this one isn't fair. Celebrity voice actors have a character that normally looks similar to them.

Akiko Fujishima 8 years ago
Disney tends to make characters look similar to the actors that do their voices.. That's why Danny and Philoctetes (Phil) look so much alike. :)
Hannah Tyler 8 years ago
This isn't an accident, he's the voice actor, animators almost always base the look of the character at least somewhat on the voice actor

Danny Devito would look like Phil from Hercules because he voices the character and a lot of Disney artists try to make their characters look like the voice actors.
Alicia Hawkins 8 years ago
They did that for some of the Final Fantasy characters, too. Especially in 7. The character models for Crisis Core and Advent Children were deliberately designed to look as much like the Japanese voice actors playing the main characters as possible. It's pretty cool. :)

Pretty sure "this person" (the Hiro Hamada cosplay) is a person named Liui Aquino (liui-aquino on DA) little bit of research on the internet would've shown you that ^^ http://liui-aquino.deviantart.com/
