Andhika Muksin is an illustrator from Jakarta, Indonesia, who’s always had a soft spot for Disney. He loved watching the films as a child, so when he grew up and became an artist, he naturally starts creating his own fan art, But then he added his own twist – instead of drawing the princesses as the perfect creatures we all know and love, he altered the images to turn them a bit more realistic. Suddenly the princesses have bad selfie angles, bags under their eyes, bad hair days. It isn’t all that appealing – but it is a lot more relatable than the traditional image of the Disney princess. Andhika’s art makes the Disney princess feel a bit more grounded in reality – and a bit closer to us, regular human beings.

Nikolay Mochkin, also known as Ellejart on Instagram, is also a fan of this classic movie and its remake inspired him to make some amazing fan art.

The artist imagined what the movie would have looked like if it had stayed more faithful to the cartoon version. In an interview for Bored Panda, Mochkin revealed what inspired him to make this fan art.

“In my childhood, after watching the classic cartoon The Lion King, I was delighted and immediately began to draw fan art on it on paper with a pencil. And now, when I watched the modern trailer, my first reaction was: ‘wow! It looks cool, but where are the heroes we were used to from childhood'”, Mochkin said.

“I like all the characters because they are perfectly accustomed to their roles, and this is a great story. As a result, I am faithful to the classic cartoon.”

Take a look at his recreations and see if you like these characters more than the real ones in the remake.
