Penguins Of Madagascar
the contrasting expressions and the feelings each duo reciprocate to each other has been captured so perfectly! i love it!
This one is leeegit. 👍A-okay, my dude👍 These penguins are probably my favorite characters in movie or show, ever! They're hilarious.
Judy And Nick
Oh my f*****g god. I love this. And I didn't ship them. Now I do. What have you done
ok im sorry how did you not ship them before???!!!
Load More Replies...Duchess And Thomas O'Malley
Mickey And Minnie
Nick And Judy
Timon And Pumbaa
The Hyenas
Ed is terrifying. Imagine seeing that guy walking towards you at night
The hyena's weren't evil though. They just weren't being allowed their fair share of the circle of life, and fell in with an evil dictator.
Idk…. They did try to hunt and eat two children. And the only reason they turned on Scar was because he tried to blame them. If he hadn’t done that then the two would still be allies
Load More Replies...Lady And The Tramp
He's perfect, but there's something off about her- I think the nose and mouth don't really work.
Scar From The Lion King
okay c'mon. he looks hot! i have mixed feelings about his character now...
Humanized Louis
So this is what would have happened if Mama Odi did turn Louis human
So I have a theory. Louis used to be a human. He sings about being a human again. This could be what he looked like before he got turned into a gator.
Wall-E And Eve Humanization
ooooh i loved Eve. I dont really understand why, but she was always one of my favorite fictional characters
This is gross! Why sexualize her with huge, pendulous breasts? Why is she wearing that outfit when he gets a shirt that covers him?
If you look at how her character looks you'd actually see why it makes sense, you absolute moron
Load More Replies...I hate the way Eve is drawn. Also boobs in clothes don't work that way. Even skin-tight spandex wouldn't wrap around each breats like that.
This really doesn't show their true character. The only aim here was to make them look like good looking people. No personality.
Funny - I never though of bewbs like that on a cute little robot. Or legs, for that matter.
Why... is eve in a stripper suit (jk it's probably just an under suit for a astronauts suit.)
I watched that movie once and never again, cause I cried so hard.
Olaf
Finding Nemo
I know right? The way Dory is drawn, you can tell that she's kinda absent minded and forgetful.
Load More Replies...I love the crutch nemo is holding, as he had problems with his tiny fin that wasn't fully grown. Though both of his legs seem okay. Dory is not what I imagined, but that's okay! She does have a little confused look in her face. Would have made it a little more obvious. Marlin is spot on! But I don't mean these previous things in a negative way. Together day all look awesome! I love the drawing style!
Look at Nemo's legs closer. It looks like he had only half of his legs and the rest is plastic
Load More Replies...Great! Dory looks like a completely lovable ding-bat. It's hard to draw that in humans. lol
nemo looks like the typical dad in a good way and they would be a cute family in life
Bagheera And Baloo
I always tought Bagheera was a girl. Probably because the word for "panther" in my language is a feminine gender noun.
Same here - in my native version of books it was also used as female character and same in our version of disney animated movie. I was in shock when I find out she was actually he, and bit of sad - because Bagheera was always my favourite female role model :)
Load More Replies...Bagheera looks like Black Panther (everyone that's definitely a compliment ♥)
Human Perry
the awesome thing about this is that the artist kept the art style of all the cartoon.
Mayor Leodore Lionheart And Bell Wether
I would have made Bell a little older looking I think, but I love these.
Rainbow Dash From My Little Pony
also, I just noticed that most of the my little pony colors look like pride flags. For example, pinky pie has pan colors, twilight has bi, and the rainbow dash is the gay flag
Load More Replies...WOW amazing, wow this is the only thing I did not expect, really so cool
Tuffy Mouse From Tom And Jerry
Looney Tunes Characters Humanized
Well done except for maybe Bugs. Should be smarter and trickier looking. A likeable con man.
Gumball And Darwin
Simba, Scar And Kovu
This one is very accurate. Cue that song "Stray Cat Strut". These boys are rather sexy, eh?
The eye shadow shading is a bit excessive. The facial expressions, hair, scar are sufficiently representative.
I agree. The "human" form looks more like the transmogrification mation malfunctioned halfway through the process...
Load More Replies...They look insanely similar…tbh I thought that they hadn't done anything to Simba at first
Just a little, but the eyes I talked about under Varwenea's comment make them look more like their animal selves. Without the dark above their eyes, I would have agreed with you.
Load More Replies...Is it just me that thinks Scar looks like he should be a World of Warcraft villain? lol
The remind me more of models in that advert for Soul Glow in the movie Coming to America.
Mittens And Bolt
Bolt was my favorite movie when I was younger, I used to watch it all the time!
We have our Charlie, a white German Shepherd, because of Bolt. When we saw him at the shelter, my daughter wouldn't look any further. It was love. :)
Bb-8
If you're that good, send me a link to you doing art like that BLINDFOLDED THEN!!!!
Load More Replies...Lola Bunny
Totoro
Calvin And Hobbes
This is awesome! Best comic right behind garfeild. Is garfeild on this list? He should be.
Simba
These overly handsome ones are done with a lot of technical skill, but they lack soul and character. What's awesome about the originals is how much thought went into character design. You can grasp what kind of character they are from their oittle quirks and imperfections. Take that away and you end up with a pretty pin up that vaguely follows the same colour scheme.
Hmmmm? Sorry - I was distracted, staring at his 'soul and character' :p
Load More Replies...Kind of feels more like a villain :p Reninds me of Irwin from Lwgend of Mana or something.
Chip 'N' Dale Humanized
My favorite show growing up. Gadget was my favorite. A smart girl with technical skills!
YESSS! I used to LOVE this show as a kid! These are perfect. Ch-ch-ch-chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers!!
Donald And Daisy
I think this Donald and Daisy and the Minnie and Mickey that look like similar style are the characters during Christmas time when they go caroling and there is Scrooge or an equivalent to Scrooge.
The Animaniacs
These guys were AWESOME! So many jokes that flew right over my head as a kid and I'm starting to get now! LOL
I didn't even remember this show. As a kid I always felt bad for everybody getting badly hurt all the time, especially that grey cat.
Disney Horses
Milan's horse has a black coat tho.. so why not draw the human version as dark-skinned too?
Sonic The Hedgehog
Like Sonic better than any Lord of the Ring movies. I guess I'll get some downvotes for this. But it just did not interest me.
Load More Replies...Bugs Bunny
Completely disagree bugs is funny and completely logical not evil, scary and handsome
Nope. Just a shallow representation, like a vain person who only bring some cute accessory to a fancy dress party.
Pikachu
That's different. I had not thought of Pikachu as a girl. I like it. This characterization also reminds me of Harley Quinn.
Nearly all Pokémon have male and female versions after the generation 2 (Gold/Silver). That is because in generation 2 the egg hatching system was introduced. You needed a female and male pokémon to get eggs.
Load More Replies...Ash's Pikachu is male. But there are plenty of female pikachu... they are a species. After Gen... 3, I think? Female Pikachus have a heart shaped end to their tails to differentiate from the males - it's pretty cute.
Load More Replies...Dory And Marlin
She probably forgot that she was wearing socks, and then slipped into flip flops :P
Load More Replies...Pinky And The Brain
One is a genius, the other's insane... the pinky, the pinky and the brain, brain, brain, brain...
Dodger, Oliver, And Rita
Melman From Madagascar
Winnie The Pooh Humanized
I thought that too which makes it a little weird that they are all hanging out with Christopher Robin
Load More Replies...Yea, I don't like it. Especially Robin hanging out in the woods with a bunch of middle aged men.... though I think owl is really good.
Load More Replies...There are just creepy, please make them humanized completly, they are scary
I mean Pooh and Christopher Robin look like fine friends but, the rest look like kidnappers
They all look high and ghetto Plus the f****** bunny looks like s**t
Pinkie Pie From My Little Pony
Woody Woodpecker
he looks scary, just imagine meeting him outside in the dark with 'hehehe heheheh hehehe' - hart attack guaranteed
he looks like hisoka from hunterxhunter 174561-5ae...e117a9.jpg
"here's a good idea! How about I slaughter your family using some wood and my hands?!"
Toothless
But he can be a beautiful human too! The dragon will always be better though.
Load More Replies...I think toothless was meant to always be a dragon; this doesn't really work with me
Chipmunks
Yo the green one (forgot his name I think it's Leo; thanks to comment below) is as tall as me lol
Garfield
Apple Bloom
Apple bloom from my little pony. She is Applejack’s sister
Load More Replies...Cars
Minnie Mouse
When I was a baby my mother dressed me up as Minnie Mouse and the result what pretty much like this, just that I was crawling around all the time, so my dress kept falling down and all my pictures are topless, LOL.
When I was a baby when I was newborn and left the hospital I wore a dress with Minnie Mouse on it
Charizard
if he's a human why he have wings and tail? Also 'horns'. HUMANS DON'T HAVE THAT!!!
Pepe Le Pew And Penelope Pussycat
Creepy with cartoon characters let's be honest

Nobody needs your judgement. It’s fine for the artist to experiment with art styles.
Load More Replies...Minions Humanization
i think they would be a lot like me! bananaaaaaaaaaa!
Load More Replies...Smurf Gutsy
Mickey Mouse
Spongebob Squarepants
They all have the same face lol. But also they shouldn't look like people from twilight, they are a children's cartoon after all
It's too romanticized. The art is good, but it doesn't fit the show.
Why would someone do this? It’s a goofy a*s kids show, not some f****d up teenage romance movie.
Kung Fu Panda
Jake The Dog
He should be like a fat guy with burrito stains on his shirt, but who's smile shows a heart of gold
Load More Replies...I always imagined Jake looking like he was in his 40s not teens. I mean he's basically got a wife and grown kids. lol
Yeah but I'm the episode where Jakes parents find Finn, jake is a baby too. Plus there's one episode where jake even says that the types of creatures they are age differently. So he's technically still young
Load More Replies...But Jake is designed to sort of be a 30 yr old man with a slight midlife crisis
What is with all of this anime? I mean I normally have no problem with it but it makes them lose all of their personality…
Daffy Duck
I'm sorry what? Where did this even come from? I need more context for this I'm confused...
I'm not really a fan of these, they're all over sexualized to an uncomfortable point. Sorry to annoy anyone who enjoys these.
I agree with you. Leave them as they are. We don't have to humanise or over sexualize just everything.
Load More Replies...I'm kind of getting bored of all those reimagien cartoons as xxx. Aren't there more original artists anymore to be found? Most art on here consist of Disney reimaginations, Arty makeup posts and cut leaves.
Hey, practice makes perfect. I knew it's "easy" and "unoriginal", but I say let these new artists have it just for fun.
Load More Replies...I am impressed by the artistic range represented here. And the extraordinary leaps some of them take in representing the original character. One of the Spongebob Squarepants series comes to mind ... as in "What the *HEY*?" To me, the best are those that trigger immediate recognition - such as those by "sOalaina".. ( I'd like to see links to their other work, but at least the works are credited.) Thanks Bored Panda!
I’m not sure these are all by the same person. The art style is very different. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Ok I was totally f*****g off they are by different people DONT LISTEN TO ME
Load More Replies...Some of these were over-sexualized but a lot are still pretty spot on
They're okay, but I think some stray from the character's personality.
