If Disney characters had live-action counterparts, what will they look like? This is the question that artist Ema Rajabova wanted to answer.

We've seen Disney princesses in different costumes. From having a mermaid's tail like Ariel's to recreating them with social twists, it's always awesome to see them from a new perspective.

This time, it's all about the live-action counterparts of these lovely characters. Usually, it's the Princesses we get reimaginations of.

Fortunately, Rajabova included other characters as well. So aside from Disney princesses, we'll be seeing antagonists and sidekicks too.

Rajabova is an artist who creates stories, characters, and illustrations. She shares her works via her Instagram account, art_of_ema.

So if you'd like to go on a trip down memory lane, this is the perfect opportunity because you'll see the characters in a different light. Rajabova made them in such a way where you can see the characters and their live-action versions side-by-side.

A number of them look very close to the characters, and it's amazing. Today, we're going to take a look at the 16 illustrations that Rajabova created.

Scroll down to see the pictures and pick what you like best among the illustrations. Find out if they look how you would expect them to look.
