The artist Jirka Väätäinen has re-created some of Disney's most popular characters so they appear more realistic.

Väätäinen said his favorite character to draw was Ursula from "The Little Mermaid," but he also reimagined another Disney villain: Cruella de Vil.

He also drew Disney princesses like Belle, Cinderella, Moana, and Elsa.

Väätäinen even brought Hercules, Tarzan, and John Smith to life in his realistic drawings.
