What Disney characters would look like in REAL LIFE

But what would they look like if their exaggerated features were translated into real-life anatomy?Israeli artist Karen Graw, who works under the name ‘Avalonis’, attempted to find out in this series of portraits. Ms Graw said she manipulated each photo until she got ‘the right features and made them real enough looking.’She admitted to having some difficulty with ‘ridiculously proportioned Disney characters’ such as Hercules and Cruella de Vil. The results, however, are surprisingly realistic and show just what a real-life Belle or Cinderella might look like if you bumped into them on the street.Avalonis isn’t the only one who has attempted to bring Disney’s magic to life. California-based photographer  Ryan Astamendi has also created incredible real-life versions of Disney princesses - and the likenesses are uncanny.Mr Astamendi’s project, named 'the Princess Series', involved shooting real-life versions of his favourite Disney princesses one-by-one.What is essential for the success of his work, he said, was a 'great costume, and a great model.'Despite these real-life representations, Disney's unrealistic character proportions have repeatedly come under fire.Only last month, Philip Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland found that Disney tends to animate its typically-thin female protagonists even thinner when they are portrayed as the subject of romantic attention.‘I think the evidence suggests that Disney favours compositions in which women’s hands are tiny compared to men’s, especially when they are in romantic relationships,’ he said.In Frozen, for instance, main character Anna’s wrists appear to be almost one third the size of Hans’s, her male love interest.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
