Here's How These 25+ Popular Cartoons Characters Would Look Like as Humans, With the Help of AI

For most of us who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons or a parade of Disney movies, our silliest wish was to join our favorite cartoon characters in their animated worlds. As we grew older, that wish disappeared. But, what if we could bring our beloved characters to life in the human world? Well, thanks to the power of AI, we can know exactly what that would look like. Check them out!

Lisa Simpson

Smart, brave, and sometimes annoying, Lisa Simpson has been on our screens since 1987 on the long-running The Simpsons. Apparently, due to her unique spiky hair/head shape, many animators on the show have said that she's one of the most difficult characters to draw.

Thankfully, that's not an issue for the human AI version of Lisa, whose hair really isn't spiky at all. She's also a lot less yellow, though the AI did decide to make her blonde. We do have to wonder how the program decided to give her blue eyes. Nevertheless, she's adorable and looks ready to save the world!

Moana

Just like her forward-thinking personality in the film, Moana was considered a trail-blazing Disney princess when her movie came out in 2016. This curious young chief's daughter couldn't wait to explore the world and lead her people to a better future.

ADVERTISMENT

The human version of Moana looks just as powerful and determined as her animated inspiration. We bet that if she was real, she would be out there, sailing the seas and helping save the ocean! Would the human Moana also have a rooster and a pig as pets?

Pepa Madrigal

We don't think anyone could have possibly foreseen the massive success that Disney's Encanto had when it came out in 2021. One listen to "We Don't Talk About Bruno", though, and we were all hooked on the magical Madrigal family.

ADVERTISMENT

Part of the magic, of course, comes from the ensemble of unique and fun characters that the movie had - and with her emotionally-driven weather powers, Pepa Madrigal (Mirabel's aunt) stole our hearts. As the AI image can attest, we would have been just as taken by her in real life.

Snow White

Snow White was Disney's very first princess, and she was featured in the studio's very first full-length animated feature film (in technicolor!) all the way back in 1937. The gentle and sweet princess quickly gained quite a loving audience. But, did you know that she's only 14 in the film?

ADVERTISMENT

Clearly, in this case, the AI chose to both age and modernize Snow White into a young woman. While, as a 'real' person, she's kept her "hair as black as ebony, lips as red as the rose," and "skin as white as snow," the AI version really doesn't look much like the animated character this time.

Ariel

Ariel has always wanted to be part of our world, and thanks to the powers of AI, it looks like she finally got her wish. So, how did the computer do with this beloved princess? To start with the positive, it definitely captured her sweet innocence (which caused her to sell her voice).

ADVERTISMENT

However, we don't really understand where those sweet little freckles came from. Seeing as Ariel lived far under the sea, we just can't really see how she would possibly get any kind of blemishes from the sun. Still, she does seem determined to explore the human world.

Elsa

Every parent knows that since 2013, there's one Disney movie that has probably been played more than any other in homes across the world - Frozen. Little kids everywhere have especially become obsessed with a certain Ice Queen singing about how she needs to "Let it Go".

ADVERTISMENT

Did you know that she was originally written to be the villain of the story? But, as soon as the musical duo Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez wrote the famous song, they knew she had to be the star.

Kristoff

Let's be honest - while he gave our hearts a little twinge when he helped Anna save her sister in Frozen, it was his amazing rock ballad and awkward romance skills in Frozen 2 that really made us swoon.

ADVERTISMENT

Unfortunately, we feel like the AI version of our sweet Kristoff just doesn't have quite the same magic as the original reindeer-loving character. Firstly, he looks like a teenager when he should be in his 20s, and secondly, he seems as though he could be a Backstreet Boys reject.
