Here’s What Would Happen If Disney Movies Were Realistic (30 Pics By Sanezparza)
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
His wish was to be made a prince, so technically he should still be one, even in rags.
Just a thought now does Genie said that 3 wishes are allowed to one person per lifetime or like what in the strip above you can wish 2 wishes then make someone else own the lamp and then have 3 wishes again? Thanks
Uh, can the Genie only have 1 master?! Cuz if this would happen, he would have two.
But Aladdin actually has 2 wishes remaining..he never wished to be saved from drowning
But if I remember properly, Genie had to get Aladdin to say it or at least mouth it.

The Little Mermaid
Beauty And The Beast
what is that pointy thing that erected upward in the sixth panel?
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.”
Sleeping Beauty
Snow White
I bet he did... how do you make a magic mirror anyway? some criminal sentenced to eternity in a mirror and has to answer truthfully to any question put to them by the owner of the mirror? I want to read HIS story,... LOL
Load More Replies...Yeah, if the queen kept murdering anyone prettier than her she’d literally have to kill every woman in the world
So well said. In a reality there is no such thing as pretty or ugly It's just preferences
To be fair *heh) shes not asking strictly beauty. Shes really asking who is the palest like white girl. Snow should be like Irish white. Like "That b!tch glows in the dark" pale
Even in cartoon Snow White wasn't a huge beauty, but her pure heart far outdoes any "fairest" of Queen Grimhilde. Which isn't obvious in original where the Prince and Snow White force Queen to dance with iron hot shoes until she dies.
“Nah, I like your window over there. MMH, I LIKE MY GLASS A LITTLE STAINED”
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
Baloo's gonna be the one to eat him? Not Bageera? Or the wolves that raised him? But Baloo... the sloth bear that eats honey and berries lol
Sloth bears are dangerous animals despite the fact that they are omnivores

of course he isn't a clean shaven sexy god of a man. I expected more beard :P.
I wonder why tarzan even wore loincloth as none of his gorilla brethren did it
“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.
Lady And The Tramp
The Lion King
Tangled
he's the pretty same age as the princess so he most likely might be not aware of her looks in real-life conditions.
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs
How do you know he's Happy? Well I guess he certainly ain't Bashful!
Load More Replies...LOL pretty much, you know those dwarves have dirty thoughts, and there is a reason why Grumpy is so irritable.
... Snow White is 7 in the original story.... whhhhyyyy disneeeeey....
Cinderella
If I remember correctly, the point was also that Cinderella had the matching glass slipper? Though maybe I remember wrong
Maybe in the cartoon. In the original story one of the sisters cut off part of her heel and one part of her toe to try and fit the slipper. If it was all about who had the other one, it would've been a story about a lost and found department. That sounds more like a sitcom.
Load More Replies...I always thought that they could ... update this like... the glass slipper was actually a high-tech piece (aka: magic is just advanced technology!) which actually had a biometric reader/lock in it... and the fairy godmother was just a time traveler from the FAR future...
and also everything supposidly changed back at midnight EXEPT FOR THAT SHOE????
Cinderella's dress must have been pretty revealing if the prince couldn't remember her face.
in one version i watched, the shoes were completely and totally custom. on the inside there were toe spots and foot indent, in the glass
The point was back then the shoes were molded to shape especially for the individual, O be of a kind deal.
Pinocchio
gepettos like WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Cinderella
Alice In Wonderland
I... always... always... wanted to hang out on that shroom with the blue caterpillar.

Alice In Wonderland
I haven't spot absolem until your comment, thanks! :D
Load More Replies...the rest of the story happened after she ate the mushrooms sitting down there...
She was hungry, ate those mushrooms, and the entire movie is her just tripping in a hole in a tree...
Frozen
Although the curse was magical, so she was probably magic ice
Load More Replies...frozen meat is way stronger than ice so it should not crack as easily as one.
Peter Pan
I laughed way to hard I mean I should of seen it coming but man it was too funny
all of these have a beautiful darkness you can't find in the disney movies.
Lilo & Stitch
I'm impressed with the lighting in this one. I can't imagine how to even begin drawing like that.
actually not difficult. First draw outlines, then apply a single color to everything (of course beneath the outlines, use layers), dark blue for example, and at last apply some shading/lighting. Visualizing a light source can help, if the light source isnt visible on screen.
Load More Replies...Sooo, they should have thin noses, like most Caucasians?

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth."
The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame
Disney sanitized A LOT of stories to make the cartoons.
Load More Replies...101 Dalmatians
wrong, they were bought and paid for. Been watching this A LOT with my littles lately
Yeah they even said that, at least in the live action movie, that noone else dont Lost puppies
Tarzan
omg ... i didn't even notice till you pointed that out. now i can't unsee them!
Load More Replies...Well that is what I call realistic Tarzan. Unlike the Disney movie, the real version of Tarzan would be shocking as he has long nails and is covered with body hair. Since he was being raised by apes 🦍 he would have a body nearly as similar as that of a gorilla and have the same strength of the gorillas 🦍.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Princess And The Frog
The Emperor's New Groove
Wreck-It Ralph
Eeprom is non volatile. Otherwise high score tables would only last a day.
Load More Replies...Ok for those who are confused. In the 80s and early 90s you didn't turn off the machines if you did it would reset the highscores therefore everything would be lost and no one would even have a chance to be like it was in Wreck it Ralph because they would be dead no existent.
In the movie when the owner disconnect the games they're still there.
Dumbo
Yes, just a step too far. Should have stayed on the edge.
Load More Replies...In real life no elephant flies even if they have big ears. Elephants weigh a lot and a baby elephant weighs as much as a heavy man 120 kilos. In order to fly an animal must be light in weight and have a light skeleton structure.
Pocahontas
The Jungle Book
Zootopia
not really, humans are still animals and get along with other ones, sometimes. There are videos dogs having friendship with every kind of animals. If food is in abundance, there wouldn't be any need to hunt or kill each other... however I'm curious what carnivors in zootopia eat...

Robin Hood

Would have been entirely in his ability to turn her human when you think about it
Brother Bear
Yeah hah!! I thought they were hilarious! xD This scene here though makes me eternally sad tho T_T

Mulan
Or alternatively, they fall down with them, I mean it really doesn't matter how many weights they lift everyday, there's no way they could lift up two full grown humans AND A HORSE XD
Moana
Peter Pan
Cinderella
The Aristocats
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?
Sleeping Beauty
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
Bolt
The Rescuers
I doubt she'd react that way to passive "rats" with shirts and hats on
The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh
Treasure Planet
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!!
Load More Replies...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!
