20 Side-By-Side Photos Of Animated Characters And Their Live-Action Actors That Look Just Like Them

by Sophia

One of the things that people truly look forward to when their favorite book or animated movie gets adapted into a live-action film, and it's the casting. Sometimes, people can tell how good or bad the movie will be just by seeing the cast choices even way before it is produced and released.

From Aladdin to Beauty and the Beast, there's always something wonderful and magical about having an actor that perfectly suits the personality and appearance of their character. Take the cast of Scooby-Doo for example—they all perfectly look like their animated counterparts and it's amazing to look at!

Makeup and special effects are definitely a factor in making them look and feel more like their characters, but either way, the resemblance is uncanny. People will even applaud the casting directors for hiring actors that truly match almost every description of the characters of their film, and it's always great to see them have great choices!

Hollywood has a lot of actors and actresses at its disposal, that it's easy for them to just plaster a household name on a film's poster and attract a lot of viewers, but no, it's actually a great thing that they do take the time to evaluate these actors if they are right for a role. That being said, we are all thankful for those processes because part of the reason why we enjoyed these movies so much is how much the actors truly look like the original characters that it feels like they are almost real!

Just check out 20 examples of actors perfectly matching the appearance of their equivalent animated characters below!

Whether animated or not, these movies were definitely enjoyed but a lot of people and most of them are amused with the way these actors got their character's quirks perfectly right, partly because of how much they look like them. Sometimes, the only thing that matters in a live-action adaptation is how similar the actors are with the roles they were cast—and the quality of the film will just follow to be criticized!
