Even if the animals that appear as the main characters in most Disney films are simple to relate to, many of us nevertheless think of them as people and occasionally even put ourselves in their shoes. Wisconsin-based artist Pugletto takes things a step further by redesigning the characters to more closely resemble people, and she also goes to great lengths to maintain what she believes to be her ethnic background
She admitted to being “really frustrated” by the sheer volume of Simbas with white skin and loose red hair to Cosmopolitan. The Lion King is a tale that, in my opinion, is set in Africa.As a result, I reimagined the characters as people with an African appearance.
Not everything she drew was from The Lion King. See more of her artwork below!
