Although the animals we see star in most Disney movies are easy enough to associate with, many of us still imagine them as people, sometimes even putting ourselves in their shoes. Pugletto, an artist from Wisconsin, goes a step further by redrawing those characters as she thinks they might look like humans, and she also goes to great lengths to preserve what she thinks might be her ethnic origins.
She told Cosmopolitan that she “was really frustrated by the number of Simbas with white skin and red hair hanging loose. The way I see it is that The Lion King is a story that takes place in Africa…[so] I re-imagined the characters as humans the way they would look if they were from Africa.”
The Lion King is not all that she drew. Check out more of her art below!
