Mulan
Ming-Na Wen, the actress whose voice is best known for her starring part as Fa Mulan in the animated musical action “Mulan,” had a thing or two to say about the character. Wen said that while she and the finalized version of Mulah may not look exactly alike, several of her gestures made it into the final cut.
According to the actress, you can really see the resemblance in the way Mulan plays with her hair throughout the film. We can only imagine how cool it must be to see your gestures and features turned into a cartoon! It’s incredible to see what details animators pick up!
Charles Muntz
This next one may be a little unsettling, considering Christopher Plummer is regarded as Hollywood royalty. The actor and the villainous "Up" character Charles Muntz share the same characteristics.
Pixar animators said they wanted Muntz's character to look like a warm and loving grandfather who could become sinister at any given moment. It comes as no surprise that they took inspiration from on-screen legend Plummer who managed to perfect this quality throughout his career!
Zazu
Who would have ever imagined that someone would compare Mr. Bean to Zazu from "The Lion King" and that you would be nodding your head in agreement? Ellen Woodbury, Zazu's supervising animator, says Rowan Atkinson's voice was vibrant and that listening to his reading gave her a lot to work with.
Aside from his voice, there's a little taste of the comedic actor in Zazu's eyebrows. Even their expressions are similar!
Droopy
Droopy the dog was brought to us during the golden age of animation. He is named after his main feature, his droopy face.
While with age and time, many of us will probably end up looking like droopy, this guy has beat us to it. His eyes and mouth are dangling in the exact same way as this famous dog.
Kristoff
When "Frozen" came out in 2013, it became an instant sensation. Every little girl wanted to look like Anna or Elsa. But, all that Anna and Elsa buzz might have had us miss what was right under our noses -- Cole LaBrant.
Social media star Cole LaBrant has an uncanny resemblance to the reindeer-loving Kristoff. LaBrant has noticed the incredible similarity himself and has dressed up as Kristoff many times, much to the fans' enjoyment.
