Smart, brave, and sometimes annoying, Lisa Simpson has been on our screens since 1987 on the long-running The Simpsons. Apparently, due to her unique spiky hair/head shape, many animators on the show have said that she’s one of the most difficult characters to draw.
Thankfully, that’s not an issue for the human AI version of Lisa, whose hair really isn’t spiky at all. She’s also a lot less yellow, though the AI did decide to make her blonde. We do have to wonder how the program decided to give her blue eyes. Nevertheless, she’s adorable and looks ready to save the world!
Moana
Just like her forward-thinking personality in the film, Moana was considered a trail-blazing Disney princess when her movie came out in 2016. This curious young chief’s daughter couldn’t wait to explore the world and lead her people to a better future.
The human version of Moana looks just as powerful and determined as her animated inspiration. We bet that if she was real, she would be out there, sailing the seas and helping save the ocean! Would the human Moana also have a rooster and a pig as pets?
Pepa Madrigal
We don’t think anyone could have possibly foreseen the massive success that Disney’s Encanto had when it came out in 2021. One listen to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, though, and we were all hooked on the magical Madrigal family.
Part of the magic, of course, comes from the ensemble of unique and fun characters that the movie had — and with her emotionally-driven weather powers, Pepa Madrigal (Mirabel’s aunt) stole our hearts. As the AI image can attest, we would have been just as taken by her in real life.
Snow White
Snow White was Disney’s very first princess, and she was featured in the studio’s very first full-length animated feature film (in technicolor!) all the way back in 1937. The gentle and sweet princess quickly gained quite a loving audience. But, did you know that she’s only 14 in the film?
Clearly, in this case, the AI chose to both age and modernize Snow White into a young woman. While, as a ‘real’ person, she’s kept her “hair as black as ebony, lips as red as the rose,” and “skin as white as snow,” the AI version really doesn’t look much like the animated character this time.
For most of us who grew up with Saturday morning cartoons or a parade of Disney movies, our silliest wish was to join our favorite cartoon characters in their animated worlds. As we grew older, that wish disappeared. But, what if we could bring our beloved characters to life in the human world? Well, thanks to the power of AI, we can know exactly what that would look like.
