Perhaps everyone knows these Disney princesses and cartoon characters very well. But few people know that they were copied from real people. Let's see who became the prototype of these famous cartoon characters.

The Little Mermaid Ariel - Sherry Stoner





Sherry also became the prototype for Princess Belle



For a long time, Disney executives insisted that all cartoon scenes be pre-filmed in live action. For this purpose, real actors were hired, from whom the images of the heroes were subsequently copied. This approach was necessary to ensure that all the imagined scenes could be created using animation.

Company employees have repeatedly expressed their dissatisfaction with this approach to business. It took a lot of time, and working with the scenery and actors was not always easy. However, they still had no choice but to carry out the instructions of the leadership. The process of creating footage with natural movement is called “live-action reference”.

Snow White – Marge Champion





Marge Champion was hired to pose as the cartoon Snow White. Subsequently, her movements and gestures were completely transferred to the cartoon.

The Blue Fairy from the cartoon "Pinocchio" was also born thanks to the efforts of Marge



Pocahontas - Irene Bedard



Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty - Eleanor Audley



By the way, the actress became a model not only for the evil sorceress, but also for Cinderella’s grumpy stepmother.

Fairy Tinkerbell from the cartoon "Peter Pan" - Margaret Kerry



Alice from the cartoon "Alice in Wonderland" - Catherine Beaumont



Jasmine from the cartoon "Aladdin" - Jennifer Connelly



Tiana from The Princess and the Frog - Jennifer Hudson



Another girl who inspired the studio to create the heroine is actress Danielle Monet Thrower. She could be seen in the series “Law and Order. Special Corps."

Rapunzel - Taylor Swift



Esmeralda from the cartoon "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" - Gina Lollobrigida



It is believed that the prototype for the image of the gypsy Esmeralda was two famous actresses: Gina Lollobrigida and Demi Moore. By the way, the second actress voiced the heroine in the original.
