Beautiful “Realistic” Villains Enchant Disney Fans

Disney villains from Disney animated movies are known for many things, including charisma, vengefulness, and eyeliner that is (as Jafar recently put it) “on point.” However, one TikTok user has just discovered another Disney villain asset: good looks that transcend all mediums, be they old-school animation or modern AI images!

AI generators are essentially artificial intelligence systems that translate photos — usually of real people — into animated versions of themselves. These AI results can be shocking, hilarious, or surprisingly accurate — and this Disney enthusiast just put the AI systems to the test in a rather villainous way!

TikTok user @aiworldbeauty created a series of images that they dubbed “realistic Disney Villains.” Since the wonders of AI technology are nothing new on TikTok, many viewers were not surprised to see the high-quality images that were the result of the experiment!

Take a look at the TikTok video shown below to see a particularly-swarthy Gaston, a decadently-made-up Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and other classic Disney villains like Jafar, Peter Pan villain Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil,  Tangled Disney villain Mother Gothel, and Frollo.

You can also enjoy a haunting rendition of the Maleficent version of the Sleeping Beauty song “Once Upon a Dream,” sung by Anya Del Prete.

A variety of other Disney villains make an appearance in the video, including the iconic horned fairy Maleficent, several drastically-different versions of the Little Mermaid sea witch Ursula, the scheming lion Scar, a surprisingly-innocent-looking Mother Gothel, and Cinderella’s unkind family members (i.e., Lady Tremaine and the Disney princess’s two ugly stepsisters).

Disney princesses do tend to take the limelight a lot — and you can see some “realistic” Disney princes in the video shown below, too — but plenty of Disney fans actually have a soft spot for the Disney villains who have diligently done their duty as crucial aspects of Disney movie storylines (even if they usually meet an unpleasant demise at the end of the animated film).

Some Disney villains are glamorous while others are creepy. Others might be funny, dour, or even depressing. Whether you’re a Disney villain aficionado or not, you cannot deny that these AI images of Disney villains are very impressive!
