14 living look-alikes of our favorite Disney characters
Life and fiction inspire each other and you have to wonder who copies whom when it comes down to it. Disney has really observed the animal world to create its heroes, which is why they are so interesting, so "alive." When you see the next 14 characters and their animal look-alikes, you might think that reality has in turn inspired fiction, so much that they look just like the Disney characters! Disney's research and creative teams deserve a big bravo!

Apparently, they’re also friends in real life.

The resemblance is really astonishing: the droopy eyes, and the pout... They captured the expression well in the cartoon!

He found his twin brother! Note that it is rare that pigs are drawn with so much hair in cartoons. Apparently, this one is more realistic.
7. Kenai and Koda (Brother Bear)

The animals’ expressions are very similar.
8. Sylvester (“Looney Tunes”)

It’s all there except the big red nose and the sourpuss face!

Not really, the real one is a lot cuter, but it’s close...
10. Marlin and Dory (Finding Nemo)
We found the two friends!
11. Heihei, the Rooster from Moana

The real animal is much prouder and more imposing than its animated counterpart, but the colors are there.
12. Abu and Iago (Aladdin)
The attitude’s there...
13. Timon and Simba (The Lion King)
Adorable ... but true!

The donkey is every bit as good as his colleague from the true animal kingdom.
