We all love Disney movies because they bring a smile to our faces, light up our daily lives and inspire us to overcome any problems we might have. However, have you ever wondered what Disney characters would look like if some of the fantasy were to be replaced with a healthy dose of reality?
Cartoonist Santiago Esparza, who goes by the moniker Sanesparza, made a series of hilariously funny comics on Disney characters in real life. These are sure to have you in stitches as you rethink everything you thought you knew about some of your favorite films. Be warned — your rose-colored glasses might just fall off. Remember to upvote your fave comics and let us know in the comments below why you liked them.

Lady And The Tramp
Aladdin
Thank you this one always bugged me as a kid watching this movie. Why not let Jasmine have some wishes? I didn’t see the recent live action remake so I don’t know if they addressed this or if it is still a plot hole
The artist, Sanesparza, has quite a following online: over 292,000 people follow his account on Instagram, while another 40,000 follow him on Facebook. Be sure to check out Bored Panda’s previous post about the artist’s incredibly witty ‘How To’ series.
The Little Mermaid
Beauty And The Beast
Bored Panda reached out to Santiago to better understand his motivation behind the funny — and sometimes even shocking — drawing ideas.
“My inspiration for this series is my love for these movies, some of them are my favorite,” the artist explained the inspiration behind the series to Bored Panda. “So I like to think that I make fun of these movies, but out of love, that’s probably why it connects with so many people. They don’t see it as a critique, they just want to laugh about the famous characters we all know and love.”
Snow White
Santiago also added that he usually draws the comics in chronological order, however, “for this second season of ‘If Disney movies were realistic’ I’m taking more liberties.”
Sanesparza has been drawing for a long time. Ever since he was a child, in fact: “Disney and Pixar were definitely the main reasons why I started drawing and liking movies in general, so I guess you could say everything’s coming full circle.
The Jungle Book
Tarzan
of course he isn't a clean shaven sexy god of a man. I expected more beard :P.
“I make stories myself. Maybe in the future, people can make fun of them the same way I make fun of movies,” Santiago mentioned his other comics called Virgin Institute and Everything About You.
While on the topic of realism in Disney movies, the company has recently begun a whole series of projects to recreate classic beloved cartoons as live-action versions. Be sure to read Bored Panda’s posts about an alternate look for The Lion King remake and about Bahati, the lion cub who was the inspiration behind Simba.

As much as I loved this movie, I always am a bit sorry because of Edgar. From all we know, he was always a good and faithful butler - well, except what he did with cats. Despite all wrong things he did I can understand his frustration and anger. He must have felt quiet betrayed and neglected, hearing he will not inherit anything after so many years of good service. That for his mistress he means less than a domestic pet. Why not let HIM inherit the fortune (he is a better choice than any pet anyway), with subject that he has to care for the cats otherwise he'll lost everything?
Robin Hood
no, no arrows were at the ready and it take s awhile to load old crossbows. for all we know they may have been unstrung too.
Hercules
The Rescuers
The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

Meet The Robinsons
Fantasia
Disney's making all this remakes they should make them with original story versions for adults.
I once read a version of Cinderella in which her and her mother were witches planning revenge on a Uncle that stole the throne from them. Her mother was lynched by a Christian mob and Cinderella went on to drive the prince (her cousin) mad so that he would destroy his own kingdom looking for her.
Never heard of that version but it most def sound interesting!!

Prince Philip had every right to use that line. She was literally just singing that song out loud. It's the only time a person could say that. And Cinderella's Prince is so willfully misunderstood. His father is pressuring him to get married and have babies right away. He is super pushy and annoying. Prince has to pick someone now or his dad is going to pick for him. And he didn't initiate the search with the shoe. His father did. The plan would be to try to narrow it down with the shoe then drag those girls in front of the prince and see which one the prince recognizes. There is nothing silly going on, it all makes logical sense, and prince is barely involved.
Heyyyyyyy! Where'd the BROTHER BEAR one go?? They stealing our pictures away again!
